    I’ll start it before the multi-ID WEP Troll gets in:

    It takes two to tango. The statement from WW is bland, lacking in detail, vague, and leaves more questions than it answers. The particular area of concern for me is the statement “John Bateman has expressed his full regret at the incident, as have other parties

    No mention of what happened.
    No mention of who else was involved – even though he/she/they have also expressed their regret.

    And more importantly, no mention of what sanction has been dealt out to the other parties.

    Blokes get drunk and scrap – it happens. Teammates don’t get on – it happens.

    However my thoughts based on that statement are that one bloke may have been dealt a harsher punishment than the others, and that doesn’t sit right, even if he is seen as an “outsider” from Yorkshire, whereas the others may have been at Wigan since they were schoolkids.

    Despite his 10 game ban and assurances from the club that he’ll be back in July, I suspect that this will give WW time to offload Bateman, and I doubt he’ll be seen again in a Wigan shirt.

      10 game ban Smutty?
      How the hell have you got that? Its an 8 game ban and the 2 games he missed under investigation count towards it plus a 10k fine.

      So the punishment is equivalent to a 6 game ban without pay more or less.

      Wigan rugby should grow a pair and boot him out of the club pronto! All the discipline has gone down hill since Wane took charge of the club but what do you expect with his ranting team talks.
      I don’t care how good a player is if he causes trouble and upsets team harmony then it’s time to go NOW!

      Fuck the EFL

        Never even heard of him. Presume he is a Wigan player as WW is usually reserved for Bolton.

          I agree, but it appears he has been publically punished, whilst other(s) who have admitted regret for the incident (and I have no idea what happened) have either been punished behind closed doors, or not punished at all.

          I just hope that those who are not £10K out of pocket make sure they bloody well earn their money over the next 6 games.

              At least the players were probably pished up and out of sight of thousands of youngsters.
              There are full scale brawls in many Soup or Leak games and nobody gives a shiny shyte. :ohmy:

              From Matlock to ManU
              What a journey!
