Quote: HamsterChops "Left at the end of 2017. There was no administration then. In fact, one could argue that Bentley's career has been made by the last administration. He likely wouldn't have featured as heavily for Bradford in 2017 had the admin not happened and the likes of Bentley & Wilkinson had to be thrown in at the deep end of a cobbled together squad. Being featured as much as he was and grasping the chance got him noticed at Saints.'"
Think thats a good point, he was thrust in at the deep end, he definitely reminded me of a young John Bateman with a touch less aggression.
I do feel he would have seen a fair amount of game time for someone his age had it not happened as he played a couple under Smith at the back end of the year. Certainly don't think we would have seen to the level we did though. Was great to see him start for saints last week
