Did Bateman have a kid that young? I don’t think she is that old, Bateman is only 29.

Its as good as done, just nothing signed as of yet.

Wigan are planning on signing a replacement I'm just not certain if it will be like for like.

Personally if its like for like Id be all over McMeeken if its a British player we have to sign.


Because the guy is a liar, he talks utter rubbish and either jumps on the back of peoples rumours or makes up the most vague stuff that he tries to pin to future happenings like he did with Wardle this summer that most people on that forum seem to have fallen for when the reality is he had no clue and was private messaging John asking for info.
It seems almost certain Bateman is going and has been said by numerous people on forums and in the press, he’s just re-iterating this but also caveating it by saying it’s not signed thus giving him and out if he stays. Also if Wigan get rid of a marquee signing of course it’s almost a guarantee they will sign someone else.

Thanks, I didn’t think she was that old. Covid not being around will hopefully help their situation and she can go over in school holidays.

I really wish we could sign Frizell as a replacement. He'd absolutely kill it over here and, more importantly, he'd be great for us too.

Exactly, he just chucks vague statements about then demands credit and recognition when they come off despite most of not all being in the public domain. He has even referenced himself in an attempt to show he is in the know.

When I called his bluff I got a private message accusing me of being someone “in the know and clearly connected to a club” and then blocked me from replying.

You don’t have to be Nostradamus to anticipate Bateman is going or that Wigan would look to replace him in the squad.

What he does though is put in caveats to give him an out if it doesn’t happen.

Saying go for MaKMeeken is as realistic as say go for Munster as he has a long term deal in place so it’s not going to happen.

He dies though get people very excited on that forum it has to be said.

I’m calling it now Bateman will go and we will sign someone.

I will quote myself as being correct when it happens.

Bryce Cartwright is who you are looking at if Bateman goes according to a few posters on Reddit in Australia. Do you even have the quota?

We may have one leaving.

Cartwright would be a cracking pick up in my opinion.

His game is perfectly suited for Super League.

They were saying he has domestic issues or something and is looking at Super league and Wigan have made contact. Don’t know how true but the Aussies on Reddit don’t tend to post rumours unless there is something in it and a few eels fans said they had heard the same
