Matt , slight deviation from a deviant,but you avatar pic is amazing ,my glasses keep steaming up !

he would be a fantastic signing.. looks like the bulls are just holding out for as much as possible now.

Why do we need him seriously,got a lot of our own youngsters coming through instead of paying stupid money

Im guessing Smith looks at him and see's one of potentially the best backrowers in SL for the next 10 years... A player being talked about as 'the best since Sculthorpe'.

Why wouldn't we want an English player of such quality in our squad?

What constitutes stupid money?????

He's an excellent young player.

This is for 2013 surely ?
Cap wise Bateman in Mozza out - sorry Adrian

Can't remember seeing this lad play. Personally I'd rather see us continuing to promote from within. Ben Currie has been very good, James Laithwaite is another destined for SL. Leave Bradford to sort out their problems imo.

At one point against widnes, over half our team were home grown academy products so we're doing plenty there.

As for Bateman, if Smith feels he's good enough, and we have the means, let's go and get him. It gives me no pleasure to take advantage of Bradford's predicament but they are the architect of their own misfortune there. Moreover, leaking this to the press is an attempt to push the price up. Perfectly understandable.

Besides, when we were skint, Saints and Leeds didn't care about taking Harris and Sculthorpe. We're in the winning business.*

*and cousin, business is a boomin'

I want to see Warrington attract and secure the best young talent in the game, If they come through our system that's brilliant news- if we have to go and buy them too so be it!

If selling Bateman means that they will survive surely Bradford fans would want to have a team to support even if they lose somebody of Bateman's talent and potential
