Dally M second rower of 2019

Brilliant performance in his debut NRL season

He has made Britain proud.

Freak of a player

Heard he has signed for Widnes

Don't get what he's said to wind people up there. Well done Batman! Hopefully helps us have a crack at the aussies, it's been a long time coming!

Because I am always looking for the person from the provinces who comes to the premier competition, where he challenges the best and the big-time and emerges on top. I don't care if the person is French or not. John Bateman is a man whom we all should admire.

*England

Excellent player, not suprised he is doign well as always rated him.

Good to see (From a Hull and SL point of view) Ma'u nominated aswell, one of a few top NRL signigs for next season.

While playing for Wigan, he was continuously slagged off by opposition fans who also admitted how good he was.

Ah, so you'll be delighted if Featherstone Rovers beat Toronto this weekend and get a crack at Super League.

Bateman is one of the nicest players ive spoke to off the field. Had time for opposing fans and always made an effort.

On the field he is absolute class and I'm so glad he took the leap to join the NRL. Hopefully stay there for his career now.

The GB forwards should be class this Autumn.

Players like:
Burgess bros
Bateman
Whitehead
Watts
Thompson
Josh Hodgson
Daz Clark

Will be exciting for sure.

And now that it looks like Hastings, Austin and Coote will be part of the backs. Best international side we have seen for a long time.

Don't forget Robin (aka Elliot Whitehead).

Not a centre then?
