I was very sceptical when we signed him but some of his tackling off the wing had been exceptional.. I know he has made mistakes but when he leaves his wing he makes the tackle.. he seemed unlucky today after the great tackle and then missing the kick out when they scored.

Very encouraging.

Deffo think we should sign him up on a linger contract, he has proved everybody wrong

He has been excellent on the wing for us. Was all over first half.

Yes he made a few mistakes but was all over in other ways today.

Impressed so far, but all players showed great determination today.

Along with 2 or 3 others been one of the best signings so far this season, deffo get him signed up for another year or two, he looks like he's well enjoying it here.

We got laghed at for several players we signed, like BC and Mathers, same with kirmond n washy if I remember rightly, they are all having the last laugh. Same too with our coach, you know the one that doesn't let his players entertain, I was entertained

I don't think anyone doubted his ability on the pitch, just a question of him staying out of bother off it. Pleased he's doing well. I was similarly sceptical about us signing mathers, however he's been fantastic so far IMHO.

Dint wanna sign mathers either, but love him in our team now, handles himself well off pitch too, seems a decent lad, im havin loadsa custard on this humble pie am avin

Anti-climactic thread. Just like all the Wilkes threads that get me going.

I seem to remember some people saying when we got Kirmond and Raleigh that we had got Huddersfield "rejects", just shows how wrong some can be!

Cheers!

Even today when we played some decent stuff and beat one of the top 4 best teams in SL the bloke next to me on the Western Terrace wouldn''t stop moaning about agar and how he had no clue (I can't wait to see how well we play when he does figure the sport out

)

I was very critical of Cockayne's signing, but he appears to be knuckling down and is one of the most energetic and enthusiastic players on the park; I've also heard that he's become a real 'club man' and is doing his best to repay the faith WTW showed in him.

If it carries on at this rate, I'll have to issue a public apology.

7 tries in 7 games - defense pretty good, OK he missed kicking the ball today & LesCats scored but you can't knock the guy, should have kicked that conversion though

- well done Ben. keep it up

unfortunately he also gave he gave out the interception pass to Dureau`s try, but still had a good game .

I like to see players trying things though and if that pass would have come off we could have been down that wing!
I rate Ben, very good signing so far!

. All of the signings have delivered and gelled into a good team sooner than I expected but I think Ben just edges it as the best signing so far.only problem I have ,is that the wife loves him.......

Oh you're serious, well there's a first time for everything - can't wait

Just spoke to Ben, he says 'is she decent?'

i am full of praise for BC, just 2 problems :- all opposing teams seam to target him with high kicks on the last tackle because of his hight, he needs the taller players to be aware and help with cover. Second he try,s to shepherd the ball over the dead ball line (as yesterday led to a try) just blast it and conceed the drop out.
Still think he is one of our best players though.
Well played all including every one at the club.
My grandson was over the moon with the high five from kyle wood at the end.

I am very serious - if he keeps on keeping on, I'll eat a large slice of humble pie on this very forum.

And he didn't clear the ball for their last try.

After seeing the highlights on the super league site I haven't a clue what Cockayne was trying to do, just one of those things I suppose. Other than that and the interception try he had another good game. More of the same please.

Think it was just the unpredictable bounce of a rugby ball that caused him to air swing, could happen to anyone!

Why dont players running back to their line just dive on the ball like they would if they were scoring a try?

Surely would take away a large % risk away from the bounce of the ball.?

Thats what he told me he wishes he'd have done mwildcats!
