Carter stated publicly that Batch was offered 10% more than his previous contract.

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

WTRLC 2012 to 2014 "The wasted years"

Magic Weekend "Whipping Boys" 2013, 2014 & 2015

2017 - The year the dream disappeared under Grix's right foot.

2018 - The FinniChezz Bromance

2019 - The return of the Prodigal Son.

2020 - Keeping the faith.

There was always a scent of will he wont he about Batchelor (and similarly Kershaw) during 2021. Chester had played Batchelor a lot off the bench and strong rumour was he was leaving at the year end to get more game time and refresh his career/form which was stagnating a bit. He then surprisingly signed a one year deal maybe linked to Poching taking over or maybe no other options. One year suggested it just delayed the inevitable so no sooner had 2022 started then the storyline continued.

Love reading interviews from the likes of Bob Haigh, David Jeans and Dave Smith where they just turned up for training to be told they'd been sold to Leeds.

Re: Rumours thread : Sun Dec 22, 2024 12:19 pm  
The last couple of pages on here regarding Batchelor gate and player management in general goes to show the importance of the appointment of Ste Mills as recruitment manager.
Jerrys story of his departure from the giants is another example of bad player management (something the giants excel at) and not something that just happens at Trinity .
Batch has moved on … good luck to him in his career. I also think Trinity have moved on now with our recruitment strategy. Transparency is always the key…a great listen on transparency is the second half of a podcast Ste Mills did with Trnity Heritage on recruitment .
I’m a fan of moving forward rather than dwelling on decisions (good or bad ) that were made in the past .

Don't know much about him but if this is who Super Ste has been chasing I reckon he'll go well.
