i'm glad its finally put to bed, good luck to him. wigan seem to have done some good business here, but i do agree i don't recall ever seeing a player leave but already sign on to return!!

hope it works out well for all parties in 2-3 years' time.

Sololia will go into front row and maybe Josh Papalii.

John Bateman is twice the player Whitehead is. I cant wait for him to prove it next year. We must have the most negative set of fans there is. All our best players are average (Williams/Bateman)? Give me a break

Who are their centres? I think that's where Bateman would be playing in the NRL due to his size

They’ve got Joey Lelua and Jarrod Croker! I can only see Bateman as a forward at Canberra but providing centre cover much like he does for us.

I'm not saying that at all! Bateman is very good player indeed, arguably the best we currently have at the club. I think you underestimate Whitehead, who I rate slightly higher, and we'll have to agree to differ on that.
