Good.

Really sad day although he was on his final warning and that means final, what a waste of a great player and I hope he sorts his head out cheers Ben for the last five years, the club had no choice really.

I wish Ben the best of luck, he is part of some of my fondest HKR memories, but enough was enough, he had to go! Just a shame he could not have kept on the straight and narrow, if so I think he would have been a Rovers' player for years to come.

even though i dont like the guy he was quite a good player on the field waste of talent, he is rumoured with crusaders for next season so be intresting to see if that happens

Whilst I'm not one of these people that thinks that players should be the guardians of moral virtue, if you're on a final warning and the players are on a drinking ban; to do what he did shows either a lack of brain cells or a lack of respect for his employers.
I hope that a few weeks playing at NL level, wakes him up to the fact that has hard as it is, being well paid to do a job you love is a privelege and when another SL team signs him up (which they will) he doesn't make the same mistakes again.
Thank for your contribution on the field, good luck on it in the future (not against us of course).

Probably best place for him, they need to make him move over there and get him away from Normanton.

Its a shame that it had to end like this but the club have done the right thing. He leaves us with great memories of some of his tries and celebrations.
Clint is going to have to wind up our friends from the West on his own now.

I just like to say BIG THANKS to Ben

its been well documented your pros and cons

but on rugby playing level big big thank you and good luck which ever avenue you go down next.

Right decision but it will always feel like the wrong one

I blame his peers for this! If they'd worked as hard as Ben has this season he wouldn't have been on a drinking ban and would have been allowed to celebrate Liams 21st!!

Only kidding, he knew the rules, he knew his situation better than anyone. Sad to see him leave and it isn't just what he did on the field, his work in the community, schools and training camps are all things that he should be proud of too.

I don't think we can call him a legend but he's deffinately left a fondness in a lot of fans' hearts. A name that will not be forgotten too easily around these parts I can tell ya!

Feels like an end of an era, with another National League player disappearing, but so be it.

The kind of player you want in your team on the pitch this guy, sadly acting like he did off it was always going to end up on the wrong road.

Need some recruiting do Rovers!

Well done Hull KR! No place in RL for people like Cockayne.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. You are better off without him.
