Bateman runs with his head down and cuts inside far too much and the NRL coaches will pick up on that immediately I reckon. However, it can quite easily be coached out of his game and pretty much all other aspects of his game are decent.
If I was worried about anything holding him back over there it's his temperament and increased media scrutiny.
Bateman is an older style second row, not the biggest or quickest, but makes up for it with aggression and toughness, more in the karl Fairbank, Paul Dixon mould. You can’t coach that. He will rattle a few cages in NRl and will go well.
