Raiders recruit John Bateman played centre, lock and second row during his final year at Wigan.
He played for England at centre during the 2017 World Cup and in the back row for the 2018 three-Test series against the Kiwis.
He knows his fate is controlled by Raiders coach Ricky Stuart but if you ask Bateman, he yearns for the rough and tough action that comes in the forwards.
His hero is Wigan No.13 Sean O'Loughlin, who was so prominent in the World Club Challenge match between the Warriors and the Sydney Roosters on Monday morning.
