HKR still pursuing Ben according to Mondays Hull Daily Mail

What are peoples thoughts on this?

He was pretty much washed up before we came in for him and gave him the stage to develop into an England squad member. Would have thought he'd want to stay given the chance.

I always thought his best asset was his versatility which is priceless in a small squad. Though that's rarely been used in recent times he's still proved to be an effective SL winger.

I like Ben and he has good go-forward but he's the same as Fox - a liability in defence and defending kicks. When was the last time he scored a try?

Ben is a good player and gets us going when the forwards need a breather. However I think that if we get a good amount of money for him we should sell and replace hopefully with a younger player.

If someone like Kaye is ready to step up why not.

I like Ben, he has come and knuckled down. We were good for him. He is good for us.

He has limitations as mentioned but adds alot going forward. If the offer is a serious one then it should be considered but only if we can secure as good a replacement.

Guess its watch this space. If be happy to see him stay. If he goes I'd also be ok with it if we had a wingman in our sights/secured who was of good quality.

Keep him

Would be happy enough if we got a fee from KR.
Ben's been on the whole very good for us but needs to cut out the dumb play & mistakes.

Don't think he'll attract big money so keep him if not. Solid player and really helps with go forward.

been in hull today and rumour round there is that they are after kyle amor as well!

Most of SL ought to be

Do Leeds still have first dibs if Kyle chooses to leave Wakey? If they do I'm surprised they haven't already tried to sign him. I'd certainly rate him above Moore and Bailey.

If I were Ben I would be telling KR to do one and yes he brought things about himself but they wanted rid of him.Like Fox he gives a lot when going forward but thats countered by the defending slips.

Nope they did but gave him up hes on a Trin only contract.

As I have said on a different thread, for effort at the moment I prefer Fox to Cockayne.

I would say if the price is right, then let him go, if not keep him, but he has to work on his defence, and for his place

There seem to be a lot of people criticising Ben's defence on this thread but I would say that a large percentage of those "errors" are down to the way we as a team defend. If Ben is doing what he is being asked of by the coach then are the defensive mistakes all his fault??
