Great read Sally. What a player he's been for us, totally uncompromising, top effort, played the game very hard. Brilliant player, an absolute pleasure to watch him in the pnb over the years. Happy retirement benny, I hope you finish on a high first though.

I very much enjoyed Sally's post. I think Westwood had the edge over Ellis as an attacking threat, and Ben's 135 club tries against Ellis' 84 bears that out. Ellis of course has a better disciplinary record. Both greats of the modern era.

An underrated and colossus of a player for a good few years.

Mad as a box of frogs n’all!

It would be nice if the club could bring out some special SBW merchandise to mark the occasion - T-shirts or whatever.

Just read that Hock is retiring, what a contrast in careers.

He never let us get bullied. Every team needs players like him.

I think that he will be sorely missed by the fans and club alike could we see an ellis like return?

He has been great for us a shaky start but now a club legend. Immense at times banned at others but I think he has probably been one of our best returns from a transfer fee.

Good luck Ben,

given his alleged training discipline I worry at what part behind the scenes he will be playing. One thing I would love him to be able to pass on is that leave it all on the pitch attitude
