Gosh, Blease is a real wheeler-dealer isn't he. Fair play if he can get another signing where the previous club is paying a proportion of the wages. Wests were awful, and it's hard to look good in such a bad team.

My concern with Bateman would be signing him for the same reasons we signed Austin and Sezer. To a degree both NRL and SL proven talents and big names, but probably at the wrong stage of their careers to really be up to much.

BA/Blease seem to be going for some big name signings, but all of them probably have question mark over them.

He is signing next, for New Zealand Warriors.

Sad if true.
Leeds have stuck with him the last year with his injury issues.

Going to the right team is always important I don't think he would be 

Disappointing news if true. Through the whole
Of 2023 and 2024 he started 6 games and played 4 of the bench due to concussion issues.


Going to the much harder NRL when he has not yet been able to get through a single SL season seems a strange move to me.


I can?t think of an English player being a success at NZ warriors since Dennis Betts and Andy Platt. Even Sam Tomkins failed.


Seems like a bit of a kick in the teeth for the club and is now becoming a bad habit following Walters and Martin.


I reckon he will be back in SL in 2 years.

Feel let down by Gannon, club stuck by him with his long long lay off. Poor from the player imo and he?s going to NRL far too early. Yet more top young talent we can?t keep hold of though
