Folks, if you don't venture into other forums, I'd take THIS with a massive pinch of salt

Oh I'm well aware of that, works at Leigh I believe. No reason not to be civil though.

There may be an element of truth in this, I doubt we would offer him anything longer than a one year contract and you couldn't blame him picking him a two year contract elsewhere.

No vacant positions on the coaching staff either and if there was I would be straight on the phone to Mick Monaghan anyway.

I thought his latest deal was 2 years.

Signed a 1 year extension according to thishttps://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sport/11537567.Contract_extensions_for_Warrington_Wolves_trio/rl

the story itself is believable, however i'm not a fan of mario and his topic starting/ stirring agenda nor am i a fan of Pacific and his topic starting/ stirring agenda.

He seems to start a lot of these rumours rather than report on them, which is lazy journalism.

I'm still waiting for the warzone fights between warrington and wigan fans that he predicted at the cup semi in 04 at widnes.

He is off contract, decisions need to be made based on who else would be available and how well Ben is playing and other clubs are bound to be interested. It will be a very sad day when Westwood pulls on the wire jersey for the last time but we can't deny that day is approaching whether this season or next. I'd rather him see his career out with Wire and I am fairly sure that everyone at the club would but the salary cap means that if a top quality player becomes available to us this year who won't be available next then some of our players whose contracts are up will be leaving to allow the cap space.

Whatever happens I'll be desperate for a ticket to his last home game (and hopefully last game) whenever that is, he has done more than enough to earn a huge send off from the wire faithful and I am sure everyone will want to show their appreciation for him. It would be amazing if it was a grand final win.

1 fan responded to your post and said 'No.' So thats a massive lie, are you a Tory or his agent?

As good as he is and has been and the type of player he is, he perhaps has not quite enough years left in the tank for our needs. Would be surprised if he didn't see out his career with the Wire then onto the backroom staff.

I would be happier to see Ben get a 2 year deal at another club than see him finish his whole career here in November!

By last game I was speculating about a playoff game/ final perhaps. In no way do I want westwoods wire career/ career to be over in November and I really don't think it will be. He has to do what is right for him.

It's the same person right?

Not all of us!
No thanks.

Ben has been a great servant to Warrington but perhaps this is his last year and that is probably right, rather than watch his input and performances tail off. Is he the last since the 2002 season ?

Its probably the right time to let him pursue a career elsewhere for the final contract. He has been one of the very best players we've had.

He has been outstanding, not just playing for us, but the RL community around Warry as well. If somebody is willing to give him a 2 yr deal, then match it. The salaries will almost certainly be below those when he was in his prime so that will still allow us to make good use of our salary cap.
