Jake the Peg:UllFC:Seeing a few Saints fans comment on social media that Batchelor is always injured

He is. I saw some comments saying were mad giving him a 3 year deal. It's worked out OK with abdul, holmes, watts and cartwr8ght jr though so worth the risk
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, we got told by fans that Cust, Sezer and Knight wouldn't play many games as they had had injuries in the past, two of those have played every game. Sometimes a change in club helps too.
I've the club are really looking at training pitches next year and they could be an announcement too.
I think as a replacement for Lane and non quota Batchelor is worth the risk, in todays game, 1, 2 or 3 years don't really make that much difference either.
