John Bateman says he has not spoken to Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall or any senior club official since his mid-season loan to Warrington in July.
Bateman says he has no regrets about his two years at the Tigers, but is also glad to see the back of Sydney. John Bateman says he hasn’t heard a word from anyone at Wests Tigers since he joined Warrington on loan in July.“When I went to England, I didn’t speak to anyone after that. It’s pretty bizarre.”
Apart from losing, Bateman was concerned about the development of the Tigers’ younger players, saying: “I wanted the kids to learn. They have a great bunch of kids there. At times, I didn’t feel like they were learning how I wanted them to learn, and I wanted them to get better.“I refer back to Luke Brooks.
