I suspect there will be, thankfully it's no longer at our club.

Never met the guy so I can't say whether I like him or not as a person but most of the time he has played his heart out for Hull KR and helped them through the bad times. I hope he finds another club and can get on with his career. Personally, I'm not one to judge behaviour of others, don't care what is politically correct, each person can decide how they want to live. He is paying the price, but thanks a lot Ben for all you've done, be happy.

Ben is a lovely guy used to speak to him wen he lived round the corner from us he seemed settled and stayed out of bother whilst he lived around here the problem was when he moved back to the normanton area, I am gutted that he has gone his playing skills are great but am sure he will turn his life round.

Its always a shame to see talent going down the pan, he was an integral part of KR. He always lifted the whole team when he came on or by his actions on the field, true he was disliked by the opposition and for good reason he had an ability to wind players up.

I hope he find some sort of solution to his career, I know his leaving is going to leave a massive hole in your ranks at a vital time of the season.

As a player he was great & just what the club needed. I understand the clubs stance & support thier descision. My only misgivings are that he will get a place at some other club (so much for standards) the other thing I feel needs to be said is that his last incident (as I understand it) was about him being out drinking when told not to. Nothing to do with any unlawfull acts. I feel uneasy when others start commenting on things the club have no control of (ie peoples conduct when not on club duty) lets face it fans dont get banned from the ground if they are in trouble with the law do they?
I hope he turns his self round & I will watch his carreer with interest.

Thanks for the on pitch effort Ben and best wishes for the future !!

hes a fool for his off field antics, but hes gonna be hard to replace on it, theres not many players like him out there right now IMO

The only and correct decision that could be made. For once the board has got it right.

For me,sad to see him go,100% every game,loved the fans and vica versa,but I feel he left the club with no choice.! Good luck wherever you end up and thanks for your fantastic effort on the pitch.

Thank you for the good times Ben. The MOM performances in 2006 (inc the incredible Grand Final display), that match-winning try in the first SL game against Wakey, the enthusiasm and rapport with the fans, all and everything else will not be forgotten.
Shame it's had to end like this, and IMO the club have done the right thing, but over the last five years he's been one of the most reliable players we've had. Just wish he could have sorted himself out, cos I fear it could be downhill for him from here now.

On the pitch Ben has been fantastic for us and been part of the Championship side that got us promotion and kept us up, he can be very proud for his efforts. My fav memory of Cockayne was the winning try in our game v Wakefield at home in our first season in SL.

Its a shame he has had to leave the club but things had got out of hand.

Yeah, cos the board have been terrible for us haven't they?

All I will say is people like Cockayne ,Tansey etc,should take a step back and realise just how lucky they are to be involved in a game 99% of us would have loved to have been in a position to play.

I give it 2 years before hes in prison.

Well said Ian. Nice to hear an honest opposition view on him (as a player). Definitely will leave a gap within our ranks for sure. It's disappointing for everyone concerned. I certainly think he could've gone onto to big things at Rovers but it wasn't to be, sadly. Sometimes divided opinion on the terraces but no one doubted he did/does have a special connection with many fans. Which makes this decision a sad one but ultimately I think probably best for both parties. Time to move on.
