| Hope this doesn`t come to fruition as it would be a massive backwards step.... a fans favourite or not does not or did not give him the right to do what he did..... personally i feel he should have been kicked out of the game after the assault...
so really hope he doesn`t come back..., as others have said a softener of the players leaving....

wether other players (who don't play for us) have behaved in a worse way or how good Ben himself may be at rugby is frankly irelevant.
I won't have any say in wether Ben comes back to Rovers or not but I have the right to say that for the reasons stated above I hope it doesn't happen'"
What views on race has he expressed?

| His expressed opinions on race and immigration reported on the mail taken from his Facebook were disgusting. it would be a shamefully and embarrassing episode if he should return to the club.
On the rugby side a liability. Can't catch high kicks and is a penalty waiting to happen. Saw him lose us plenty of games through indiscipline. Fan favourite. If buffoons and nasty ones are your thing then this guy is your man. Why Don't we go the whole hog and start monkey noises when opposition black players get the ball if Ben is your thing.
Keep him away from our club please.

| Odd one.
I can't deny he's a competent and versatile SL player - even if his England call-up did smack a bit of McNamara trying to convince the world that he does a single solitary **** about form.
But it isn't a position of obvious priority, and it'd presumably require a fee or exchange! For a player we released after he blew his third chance. If he has 'grown up', then good - but how would the club look if he did have another 'off-field issue'? There are surely other players who offer as much on the ooc list.
As a PR exercise, irrespective of what else is going on at the club, it would seem like a double edged sword at best. If Sandercock has identified him, then fair enough, but I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering if there is more to it.
I really, really think it would be best left in the past for all parties.

No. I did, however, miss any expression of attitude towards another race within that whole saga. Please feel free to enlighten me as to what views he expressed about another race.

Ok I get it, you like Ben and would like him back at Rovers
He admitted to and apologised for making racist remarks on his Facebook page which it was also reported contained inflammatory remarks about immigration. This is a matter of public record and is not denied by Ben Cockayne himself.
That to me is racism and an unsavoury attitude towards other races.
You obviously dont agree with this and would welcome Ben back.
I wouldnt
