#78 John Bateman | The Bye Round with James Graham

[@johnh5424]

I grew up a 20 minute drive from where Bateman is from, and I've never understood a word he's said 😅

[@thedragonsman]

Sounds like cte to me

[@Lezzyboy87]

​@thedragonsman it's not lol, I can understand everything he says, he's way more articulate now than he was lol

[@shermanator87]

No matter what accent someone has or how strong it is there's always gonna be people that are just harder to understand. I've always thought Bateman was one of those people, yeah his accent is bloody strong but mabye even his mates back home struggle to understand him.

[@scottydusntno]

James, thank you for the closed captioned subtitles

[@deaddropholiday]

Burgess - now Bateman. Ladies and Gentlemen - NEVER let an Aussie surgeon anywhere near your shoulder.

[@emma00b]

great to see a yorkshire man on the podcast

[@stevenwebb3634]

I love the Yorkshiremen. They're like Aussies in a wetter and colder climate

[@Lezzyboy87]

Yorkshire!

[@ryan-jonnoble6793]

Not a “yeah na, na yeah or 34 ummmms” to be heard. Top Northern lads

[@b7nxy577]

How are people struggling to understand him as a bradford man hes clear as day

[@joeshaw3237]

Best RL podcast by a country mile.

[@Dr.Marmalade]

Anyone got an up to date "obviously" count from Bateman? Ink ran out in my pen around 347.

[@sallymay24]

lol I think this is the first time I literally had to stop and listen to…two very strong accents 🤣 Respect to John for sticking round his EX and baby girl who’s now a teenager …would’ve been hard but he seems like a great dad …no wonder he wanted to go home during covid that would’ve sucked

[@shielsy1]

Irish footy fan, Bateman is one of my favourite players he seems a sound lad.

[@beaudwyer4352]

I really enjoyed this podcast. Tops to you James you have been outstanding in all ur podcasts and I really enjoy ur style. Keep up the good work.

[@Dan-yd9ef]

So good! Love the super league chat

[@usarugbyleagueunionfan]

Me too!!!!

[@mayo6626]

As a raiders fan, family comes first. Miss u Bateman!

[@Greeny47]

Love hearing the uk banter 😂

[@TheAllthegoodstuff]

Nothing wrong with the accents. Good ol Aussies aren't notorious for our Worldly culture.

[@StephanoHamez]

Love these on Sunday

[@Derekduval963]

Distracted by too many obviouslys from Bateman on this one. Couldnt get to the end obviously !!

[@SennyMarshall]

A privelege to have the likes of Bateman downunder. I'm a raiders fan and miss that British prick! but happy he is back in the NRL.

[@carlschofield1464]

Good interview and WHAT NOT 😅

[@creativeartist83]

I work with the Guinness World Records and.... CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 you have managed to knock off the last video that had the title for the word obviously in one video by 1022 🥳

[@danielvermeer3363]

I'm not sure if I'll be able to understand many words in this one, but here we go😂😂😂

[@usarugbyleagueunionfan]

I love Super League and NRL. The snobbery by some NRL fans towards it is funny. What it lacks in quality is made up in history and fan support. I love seeing English players succeed in Oz. This interview was great.

[@tonywilliams5055]

Great work, nice back story and really enjoyed this. Massive respect for JB he gave a really good account of himself

[@s035034]

Thumbnail should have been Jason havin James in a headlock 😂

[@Lezzyboy87]

Who?

[@tommylob1409]

What?😂 good interview.was a wordbuster.

[@jamespopcorn11]

Name this eppy obviously

[@jamespearce2993]

I read your comment before the interview started. This interview is now completely unwatchable for me 😂... obviously

[@jamespopcorn11]

@@jamespearce2993 it took me 10 mins to get over it but it was worth it 😆 🤣

[@Lezzyboy87]

Why is it always fev taking the flak. Hardaker, burrow, briscoe etc all played in fev coming up

[@AWESTERNWHITEMAN.BOSH.]

It's the place everyone wants to get out of.

[@xXSinForLifeXx]

Interesting to here what he said about wanting a full pre season at Raiders. Maybe having a full preseason this year at the Tigers will have him playing better. Obviously he came in after the season started at Tigers so didnt get that chance. Also hearing what he had to say about leaving the Raiders for England has me sympathising with him. Sounds like it was really just a decision he had to make for his family. Like they said if he didn't leave he could have not seen them for years.

[@sallymay24]

I mean 2 years without family would be hard …

[@TheAllthegoodstuff]

Tha wa greht to be fair

[@dddd-ng5yq]

This guy is a serial mumbler

[@martinbarker5048]

John was some player in a Canberra shirt, by rights he should have a premiership ring, best centre in the comp in 2019

[@Lezzyboy87]

Even though he played 2nd row? Lol

[@andrewlonge4494]
