Bateman has signed with the Cowboys on a two-year deal.

He'll probably only see out 1 year of it.

Why did they let their young bloke go to the Dolphins only to sign Bateman?

Value for money - Bateman's contract would be subsidised by the Tigers and it's only for two years. Theoretically it gives them some much needed depth around the Origin period and gives them the ability to manage Shibasaki who's a quality player.
It's definitely a gamble and the Cowboys have made some very curious signings so far this off-season.

Peyton must love a backrower... seems to consistently have at least 3 starting calibre backrowers on the books at all times... Luciano a couple years back, Finefeuiaki this year and now Bateman for next year.
Bateman, Luki and Nanai are all 80min players, so someone will be missing out on minutes.
When Bateman got rumoured to broncos a few weeks back I suggested he could be like a Capewell substitute for us... handy pick up for the cows... unfortunately... hope he tears them apart culturally instead haha
