Definitely. Ben's a great player to watch because of the effort and aggression he brings to everything he does on the field. Take that away and he's half the player he is now.

Nothing wrong with his aggression on the pitch, makes him the player he is. It's off the pitch he needs to sort himself out, very lucky with his sentence imo.

His CONTROLLED aggression assists his game, its the other type (which he has calmed down immensely with of late) he needsto be shot of. A couple of seasons ago if someone gave him a sly one in the tackle (!!!) he would jump up and 2@ them, now if you notice he doesn't, its showing signs of him maturing as a player and a person.

This attack was from when he had his un-controlled aggression, he has been sentenced and now its up to him to show us he is the player we all know he can be. If he read the HDM article with Tony Smith, he knows he is being recognised for the right reasons.

Yeah i know what you mean but sometimes these type of events can shake up a person to change there ways both on and off the field - He's not the first and won't be the last RL player to get off lightly so i think its time just to move on now

A very luck young man, hope he does his C/S and gets on with his career.

Probably shouldn't venture out drinking for the foreseeable, can just imagine some idiot trying to get a rise out of him "for a laugh".

They really should disable commenting on articles, it's embarrassing.

makes the forums here look like the debating chamber at oxford uni.

Haha, very true. I think a lot of "rumours" on these forums come from those articles anyway!

Lucky boy.

Be quite interesting to see how KR respond to the sentence, with Hudgell also having history.

Woah! There's some seriously libelous stuff there too.

Probably by warning him any more off the field indescretions and he is out, other than that he should be left to serve his CS order and play rugby. Just hope that when the inevitable abuse comes on good Friday he response with a couple of tries and helps stuff them.

I dare say you are correct, one thing I have learned over the years though is that a leopard doesn't change it's spots.

Honestly think KR are taking a risk by keeping him.

Is this the same kind of risk your shower took in keeping the saint that is Gareth raynor

He's a lucky boy, hope he turns over a new leaf. Agree with the rovers fans on here saying they hope it doesnt impact the way he plays on the pitch, im sure it wont.

I agree with that, but it may be a risk worth taking. The people making the decision on his future are in a far better position to judge his character, commitment and honesty than any of us. Which ever way the decision goes regarding his Rovers future, I just hope it's the right one for the club.

Yes of course, no blinkers here matey, a thug is a thug.

Lucky lad, lets hope he learns his lesson.

Not the first club to have a player in trouble and either going to prison or serving a suspended sentence and certainly not the last.

I personally hopes he f00ks up again pretty soon





Many an employer take these risks day in day out and as you have said it's on the clubs head should it go wrong.

Quite refreshing though to see some decent Rovers fans without blinkers regarding this.

Indeed, there is a high Pryce to pay sometimes.

???????????????????????

I see what you've done there

F.A.O Danny2 change your sig: WHERES YOUR COCKAYNE GONE

WHERES YOUR COCKAYNE GONE

FAR FAR AWAYYYYYY















He aint gone anywhere you muppet

Must admit I was one who said I thought Raynor should have gone down, Ben's case is no different



That said I hope he can turn a new leaf, and keep his agression on the pitch (still in a controlled manner). He's had a very good season so far and hope he can continue playing as well as he has been.
