Bentley is a brilliant signing for you. I wasn't convinced by him initially but as he's grown he's developed into a wonderful player. He's everything John Bateman wishes he could be. His defense is the best in Super League pound for pound. The Grand Final last year was the perfect example of what you're getting with Bentley. He played 80 minutes with 2 broken ribs and did 69 tackles. Yet when Makinson's drop goal went up, Bentley was one of only two players to chase that ball, beaten to it only by Welsby who was as fresh as a daisy. Some RL neanderthals will tell you he has no attacking threat, but that's not true. He runs good lines and is developing that side of his game well. He made a few breaks against you in recent games at your ground I believe. So all in all I'm gutted he's leaving.'"
Surprisingly magnanimous!
Good for you.

| First game back after a bad injury and plenty of aggression and just what we need.
Cannot understand the criticism of him tonight as he put in so many tackles and didn`t take a backward step.
Can`t wait to see him in a Leeds shirt.

| Gave 3 penalties and a 6 again away and got sinbinned in just over 30 mins on the pitch, very easy to see why he was a liability for them tonight. He's a good player and happy we'v signed him, but he hindered them tonight, his aggression wasnt controlled.

He was very aggressive, which is just what we need. Came up with a good ball steal aswell as putting himself about in defence and attack.He'll know himself he gave away far too many penalties, but he's had a long layoff. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

| Deary me people having a go at the lad already… had a long lay off probably trying too hard to make an impact and let it get better of him. Honestly what a bloody load of nonsense!!

| After a leg break he probably had quite a bit to prove, not least to himself. He'll be better for the run out

| He seems to have everything apart from the size, which would tell at international level. Hopefully he will still develop physically.

| He went really well. Obviously rusty. But had bags and bags of effort in defense. Never seemed to stop.

| Worth bearing in mind that I think Bentley was sent on with instructions to wreak a bit of havoc and increase the intensity on Saints' side.
Sure he went over the edge more than a bit but it's better to be have that ability and learn to reign it in than to not have it in the first place.
With better coaching at Leeds he should be able to develop that controlled aspect of his game hopefully.
