Today is a great day
On loan? Assume this is just to give him time to get a contract in the UK.
I think Benji has stuck solid with a lot of the experienced players this year trying to get them to perform, but he has had enough. I probably would have dropped them earlier. The players are simply not performing to the standards expected so something had to change. Well done to Benji, the line has been drawn. This is a huge message to the playing group.
The sad fact will be that it won’t make a lick in’ bit of difference.I think Benji has stuck solid with a lot of the experienced players this year trying to get them to perform, but he has had enough.

This could be another 70 imo

I think it might make a difference. Our coaches have had a reluctance to drop big names (Mbye, Brooks, Luciano to name a few) which is probably why we are where we are.

Might make a difference, giving the young guns a chance to shine. Will be a very interesting match to watch regardless of the outcome.
Great move re Bateman - put him directly in the super league shop window and hopefully we can turn a temporary arrangement into a permanent one.

@helmesy surely we can’t win financially as 1.5 though??
It is bonkers in a very Wests Tigers way that we sort of get rid of Bateman but also sort of don’t . Would never happen to another club.
A bloke on the other forum reckons Stef has told the Tigers that he is going to the Storm for $900k!

He’s reportedly on $750,000 per year. We have to get that deal off the books asap.

Per DT
The deal is expected to save the Tigers more than $100,000 in salary cap space for the rest of the season before Bateman returns in 2025. He is on a deal worth about $670,000 a season.
