Hull KR have released him today after his racist comments on Facebook and the driving incident. He can't sign for a SL club due to the deadline closing last week so is looking for a Championship club.

Would you have him at the Eagles?

Was a good mid-level SL player but IMO too much baggage and we have good enough players who play winger or fullback as he does.

I'd have him in a flash, doubt we could afford his wages though.

Looks like he's nailed on to sign for Fev anyway, not good considering, if he does, we'll be up against him near the end of the month.

A decent player but a foo kin idiot off the park with a few shandies inside him.

It's not as if Tubby hasn't dealt with players who've been seen as troubled before, Damien Reid and Alex Rowe to name but a couple, I don't think he would've been phased by Ben Cockayne. It all appears to be irrelevant anyway.

Good playerat this level I'd expect but we don't need him. Were fine in those positions

Signed for Featherstone.

He`s a cock head and an embarrassment to the game of RL.

good player tho!

Is that all that matters ?

where have I indicated otherwise??

It's a bit like some of the belters Mark Aston has taken on in the past.
i.e. Behave, crack on and do the business, - job's a good un!!!

Everybody deserves a second chance.

Third, fourth and fifth - I'm not so sure ......

young men can be daft Griff, some more so than others. Ben's history isn't rosey and I'm suspecting he'll know that as well as anyone.
Like I said, line draw, fresh opportunity etc etc.
Divvy up on the pitch and behave off it - Job's a good un!
Screw up - ot's "off you go lad"!!

Griff if he'd have signed for us you'd be championing his cause - fact.

He's hardly a spring chicken in pro sports terms. He's just turned twenty eight. If he hasn't learnt his lesson by that age then he never will. A complete tw@.

Aye, but a good player on match terms at the right end of the season.

Interestingly a few Hull KR fans at Batley tonight to cheer him on so they obviously don't have anything against him!

The HKR fans have sponsored Bens kit for the season and are fetching a bus load over for the eagles game next week!
Could there be more HKR fans than eagles fans??





Not the prettiest game tonight, but I'll take the win!!

In all seriousness if they're taking a bus full there will be.

We normally do well at Fev. We take about 50/60

Thursday night, on sky, doubt we'll have many there at all. I'll be screaming at a tv in a grubby sports bar somewhere in Menorca!!
