Is Bateman staying?

Post by Green2ooF »

Hey guys, been doing a bit of detective work lately and I’ve got an interesting theory..

Now we know JB is missing his daughter and mum but he seems to be pretty smitten with a local Canberra girl who is fairly well settled in the ACT, Amy Reilly..
I’m thinking by looking at her insta and the fact that she has just completed her lawyers degree that she isn’t going anywhere..

Is it possible that he will stay in Oz and in Canberra?? 🤞

/Thread. Feel like the whole “Missing the family” bit was a story to cover the terrible job his manager did. Moses screwed him out of a contract renewal here. No one else could match the offer. We pulled ours, and there was nowhere else for him to go
Feel free to call me RickyRicky StickStick if you like. I will also accept Super Fui, King Brad, Kid Dynamite, Chocolate-Thunda... or Brad.

I think there is a chance that with how COVID is going in the UK, that he could be looking for some work to stick around in Australia for another year

It’s a chance, but I think his intention and his ideal situation is to go home to his daughter.

I’m obligated to say at this point that I think the way he and moses handled his contactual situation has created a situation where some fans are not giving this guy his due

He’s one of the best players in the world, was, I’d argue the key cog in our 2019 run, and a gigantic loss to our team, and we’re going to miss him dearly.

The super league is a smoking pile of crap right now financially, I would be very wary if I was a highly paid player on a long term contract over there right now....

Is this some sort of social media boost attempt? Rumour mongering SM crowd? Who cares. No contract, been replaced, squad full, he's gone.

Plot twist - not only is he staying but he's adopting Jarrod's child so Crokes can get back to being himself.

Yeah - but JB also replied in the same way to James Hooper when Hooper first reported that he wanted out of Canberra. Hope he does stay with us

While this story (if you want to call it that) is a hot pile of garbage, I get the impression he will return to the NRL...
Based purely on the level of competition and where the UK is headed with Covid..

He's welcome back if he rediscovers his early 2019 form.
