Im wondering what your fans would think of this and if your club would consider a swap between Wigan/Warrington for these two players as it could benefit all parties involved given the recent events.

Bateman is undoubtedly the more talented of the two and hence why he was chosen to play for England last Autumn and Currie watched from the stands. Bateman himself has also confirmed that he rejected an offer from Warrington before he signed for Wigan so Tony Smith is clearly an admirer.

Ben Currie whilst not yet as good as Bateman is far more level-headed and word has been going around for a while that he wants to 'come home' back to Wigan. Im sure Wane and Radlinski would be a fan of his and he wouldnt have any animosity with the Wigan squad like Bateman may now have.

Let me know what you think I think this is an interesting debate.

Wire fans aren't gonna like this

T0sser at it again

Dont be daft. Answer the question. Would you swap them?

Currie scores far more tries, and makes comfortably more metres per carry... Also far better ball handler, and not a loose cannon.

Both players will probably be in the NRL, presumably Bateman before next season, but I don't see him being a success... too small for second row and doesn't have enough speed to compensate for it.

I don't really get the hype about Bateman, isn't a patch on a fit SOL.

Saying all that he will probably end up with a gf medal this year, Wigan looking very strong.

Boring, again.

I saw the headline and guessed it was written by this joker.

Don't mind a troll if they are funny or clever...... unfortunately you're neither.

Currie is level headed and a great team player and is becoming more and more important for us especially in big games

Master Bateman is a niggly player who you would rather be playing with than against but if things don't go his way he has potential to bottle it!!!

Currie for me all day long, golden boy for Warrington and soon for England

No thanks, I'd rather a ball playing second row who actually has fantastic hands to somebody who, although is a complete work horse, doesn't have much of a ball handling facet to his game. Bateman finds a way through the middle by keeping the legs going, Currie can actually just run around them.

You tried this once before, it wasn't clever or amusing then, repetition hasn't improved it.

Batemen is very one dimensional...and thick....so I'll stick with Currie thanks.

As a Wigan fan I would swap and I reckon most Warrington fans would as well. i genuinely think this is a win-win for all parties involved.

Don't really though, do you.

You forgot to put in the £100,000 fee for Bateman as well as Currie. Would you like it in Mickey Dollars

No No and No in that order or any order you like.

can we not stuff the palm tree where the sun dont shine and bar this idiot from our site?We have enough of our own!!!

please admin, why is this total muppet posting in our forum every week?

Because we would be bored if we didnt ave muppets posting.

I wouldn't swap Currie for any other forward in SL.

Nowhere has it been suggested that a swap deal is on the cards, can't we just ban him?

Agreed. If a Wire fan posted something like this on the Wigan Site they would be binned immediately. Get rid and let him take his little lap dog with him.

Don't feed the troll.

Exactly Snood's it's all quite simple really don't bite and let the guy and his post drift like tumbleweed in a Sergio Leone western.

Wigan fans rate Bateman
We rate Currie just as highly.
Tonight, it will get dark. Tomorrow, it will get light again.

Pacific is like a dose of the trots on a fortnight's holiday to a less than salubrious Turkish hotel. You know it's going to appear. You just hope it doesn't happen too often. Unfortunately, he keeps appearing on here.
Pass the Diacalm.

Straight swap not a chance!! Rather have a rugby league brain in the team than a thug!!

Bateman n manfridi would make me think twice but still No thankyou

I'd also like to know where currie has said he wants to return home lol to a team that didnt really try hard to keep him!!

I think it's not an interesting debate at all.
