Welcome back Ben. I suspect your experience back at Trin will be a whole lot different playing outside Broughy than last time playing insider Rooney. Fitness allowing next years squad looks strong (if somewhat thin).

He's here to play at six with Broughy at seven.

Jeffries is poor, Macca doesn't have anything to do with that.

Well he keeps playing him for a start. Did he sign him as well?

Sounds a bit like Tony Smith after 'that' Hudds game, 'Well what do you want me to do about it?'

Take away his try assists and you wouldn't still have a chance of the play-offs

Macca wouldn't anything to do with Dave Halley at the start of this season. It took a superior coach like Kear to get his full potential out of him. Once his ability, under the guidance of Kear was demonstrated, Macca had him back like a shot. I have a feeling that Kear will get the best out of Ben, especially playing along side Broughy.

Think the Bradford fans are just upset that they will have to stick with Deacon for yet another season.

deacon and foreman a good combination macca is putting together.

So poor that he has the 2nd best stats in the league for try assists and more than double your next best.
How well you would have done without him this season.

Agree he went from out of favour and could not get a game to Bulls fans screaming for his retrun to replace platt to signing a new contract with them.

Best move he made coming to Wakey for his Bulls career. McNamara seems to have his favourites and does not pick on merit.

Paul and George?

Whilst not being as obviously anti BJ as Terry, its not a coincedence that our return to form happened at the same time as Sykes took over at 6 from Ben. His try assists stat is also slightly misleading. He did well for sections of some games and often has made the last pass or put in the grubber, but his defence is awful and his attacking contribution goes awol all to often and he's not put in a complete 80 min performance all season IMHO. For every try assist there was a couple of crucial errors.

Too inconsistant for me at 6 (sound familar? almost word for word what you guys said when we signed him from you!)

Having said all that, he's been a good squad player for us overall and I wish him well at your place next season. And its a good bet that Kear might well get more out of him than McNamara has managed. You look to be putting together a decent squad for next year and you should be looking to challenge higher up the table if it all goes well. (And BTW Morrison if he stays fit will be awesome for you, never takes a backwards step and a natural leader, such a top player and a true gent, youv've signed a good 'un [iif [/ihe stays fit)
