Where there is smoke there is sht happening
But sometimes people kiss and make up and they stay

 

[eaglebuzz]

This article reads like smoke and mirrors to me. I feel like maybe he is digging his heels in to ensure the ball is in the Tigers court and that if they want to move him on, they’ll have to pay for it!

Pretty limp denials:

"I haven't spoken to anyone there"
(of course not, that's your manager's job)

"I don't know where that came from"
(doesn't mean it's not true)

"I'm going back there"
(May be true as of right now but doesn't mean he isn't about to sign a deal)

Bateman's doing great, yesterday his Tigers deal was 600k or 650k, now its up to 800k per year. Reported as fact in each case. Hey the higher his pay the better the story!

This is what Bateman has to say.Anything else and he risks breaching his contract.All part of the separation dance

As above, he won't say much of consequence as he is still being paid a lot of money as a contracted Tigers player... right up until the moment he isn't. Which may be soon, or it may be at the end of 2026 when his current contract expires.

His manager who negotiates on his behalf would be having the pertinent discussions in private.

You mean Isaac Moses?

You mean Isaac Moses?

I imagine that all player managers (some more than others) play their games (including drip-feeding information through the media) while their players just deny or don't comment.

But the exact details being negotiated between manager and club are probably different to either of the above.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Bateman and Seibold both managed by Moses so I find Bateman saying he doesn’t know anything about discussions with Manly amusing. He just needs to ask his manager.

 

[Phobia]

SHOOSH

Which player who has been shopped by his club is avoiding answering phone calls from his club or agent?

Sounds like Bateman, no way Moses hasn't tried talking to him about it yet.

SHOOSH II

Which club offered an international player a train and trial deal which was quickly rejected?

This is such a Manly thing to do.

What’s Bateman supposed to say?Anything other than toeing the company line,may be breach of contract and Tigers offload him for free and Bateman doesn’t get his $$$

Maybe Addo Carr ?

West tigers have sacked a promising prop in Jordan Miller, only 19 and has played 2 nrl games currently apart of the Fiji Bati team. Big unit 192cm tall and 131kgs I wonder if the trend of signing tigers players will continue.

I don't have any issue with signing Tigers players. Signing sacked players, on the other hand, is a different kettle of fish. The obvious first question is what was he sacked for?

Turned up to training late a couple times but he is claiming there were circumstances which caused this that he had no control over. I think he is trying to lawyer up & get it overturned or maybe just wants a payout. Would be a good signing IMO

 

[Bomb Voyage]

I cant keep up with all of these top shelf signings the club are announcing, it's too much!! I canna hold it together!!!

 

[JakeyB789]

Sounds like our major/only signing for next year didn’t have the best game in the Samoa-England test overnight

It’s not 1 November yet!

Just sayin’

Fingers crossed. I would be a very happy Eagle if they announced the signing of one Leo Thompson. The rest is all in-house.

 

[joshcooper123]

the main signings manly should be focusing on the moment is the resigning of bully and talau as on nov 1st other clubs can sign them for 2026
bully perfectly fits the mold of the modern day middle forward with leg speed and agility
talau was our most consistent back all year and deserves a resigning more than anyone, he's had the same or even greater impact than browny who was in the same boat with a 1 year contract so i won't be surprised in the next couple days if he gets resigned
