I suppose we could also say Allan Bateman was a player we let go too early, seeing as he was still a great player 5 years later.'"
either Johno's or the boards mistake that.... possibly a sign of things to come wasnt it?
I remember reading a quote from Bateman that was something along the lines of :
when His contract was up for renewal he informed the club what he was looking at in terms of salary. They immediately turned that down and offered him less, so he decided to leave for Cronulla.
The club then contacted him and offered him more than he had originally asked for !!!! but the damage was done.
shocking behaviour to be honest.
