Any news of him signing?

Re: Eddie Battye : Thu Nov 26, 2020 7:52 pm  

Hope we keep hold of him, I love his no nonsense approach. Think he played great for us and needs to keep in super league as been in the championship is would do him a massive injustice he’s a solid player.

I'm fairly sure he is still contracted to London for next year, so there would be a transfer fee/swap involved if we can persuade them to release him.

I don't normally do bold predictions as cleaning egg from your face can be time consuming, but...

If London get the 12th SL spot, EB will be playing for them.
If they don't he'll be back at Wakefield.

Battye for Walker wouldn’t be a bad swap

The understatement of the year.

Walker and Green for Battye. Green has been awful no idea why we signed him in the first place.

If Green is out of contract then he can go where he likes as he's not our player.

Do you eve watch the game. Green was our best prop when on loan at the end of 2019, that’s why we took him. He’s been injured most of this year. His form has been mediocre when playing. Do you just have a pathological need to slag players off?

As it happens I’d sign Battye above any of our current props at the moment, including Fifita. That said I don’t need to degrade a perfectly decent player to make that point.

Walker can go for me, mainly because he’s now surplus to requirements, FB is covered by Jowitt, Hampshire and BJB at a pinch.

No he isn’t and both he and the club have denied he’s going anywhere. One more season left.
