Bateman contract talks face delay after agent banned
« on: June 16, 2020, 06:46:57 PM »
Canberra Raiders star John Bateman's uncertain future is set to take another twist after player manager Isaac Moses had his NRL accreditation wiped out on Tuesday. The NRL has deemed Moses breached his obligations as an accredited agent in 2017 by assisting Tim Mannah to give false evidence to the NRL with the intention of misleading an integrity unit investigation. Moses has the right to an appeal and is free to continue working until it has taken place in a welcome sign for Bateman as he looks to shore up his future. Bateman is contracted to Canberra until the end of 2021 but he was speaking with other teams about his long-term future, saying salary cap pressure at the premiership-contending Raiders meant he had to assess his options. There have been rumblings about Bateman's future since grand final week last season, with Moses reportedly chasing a bigger contract for the 26-year-old.
