No chance ! The management aren't as foolish as the lot in the bad old days.
This is a decent camp run by good people, he'll be with us for a while yet thankfully.

He's signed sealed and delivered to Wire as far as I hear.

Source ?

The Bradford board seem to think it might be Hood playing politics ahead of the EGM next month.

You the same guy that said Ellis was nailed on to go to Leeds?

I remember when we signed Matt King and people said "we'd be better spending that money on young English lads".

Stuart Reardon?

yes he is

I'm very excited about Alan Bateman coming back to Wire. One of the best centres I've seen in the P&B.

I saw Alan by Morrison's in Stockton Heath about 2 years ago.

There is some new info from Bradford regarding Bateman;

"Ryan Duckett insists the Bulls have no intention of selling their best young players such as John Bateman -
Warrington are the only club to have made a firm enquiry about the Bradford-born back-rower, who last week told the Telegraph & Argus that he had no desire to leave his home-town club."

It looks as though both Hood and Caisley are desperately trying to get new investors in to cover their current debts (500K ?) and future funding requirements. The EGM is set for the end of May. I suppose if Hood gets his investors he will 'see off' Caisley at the EGM but if he doesn't, will get kicked off the board and replaced by Caisley. So the big question is whether Bradford can remain solvent up to the 25th May. If not, they may well come back to us and agree a figure for JB.

Looks like a case of 'watch this space'

He was acting as Sinfield's estate agent, for his forthcoming housemove to nearby Stockton Heath

Thought Sydney Roosters were trying to tempt Mozza back down under for one final year anyway...?

What tempted you back to rlfags anyway?

Were the Warrington faithful impressed by Bateman today

Not 200k impressed, but he's a good solid young player.

not until he gets that rat tail cut off,outrageous,enough to bring des wilcox out of retirement.

Solid..nothing more today.

Obviously one game is no real barometer...and he is highly rated, but I didn't see anything of him today that made me think 'what ever it takes ..get him on board!'

Me Neither, work should be banned on Wire game days

you have my sympathies FB!

How old is he again?

Wasn't impressed tbh. He looked decent but no more, certinly @ his age you can't say he's "world class", better to leave in @ Bradford & get him @ the end of his contract when he's improved as we did with Ratchford.

Bateman and Whitehead to wire. Wire to clear Bradfords debts.

You heard it here first.

Yeh he's nothing special, I think your club are better looking elsewhere.

I Agree
