The police obviously didnt think the remarks made by Ben were racist otherwise he would have been arrested and put in front of the beak, and as for the assult on a man in the street!, as Nick has already commented, the incident was almost 4 years ago and he admitted it was wrong, Unfortunately people like you seem to thinks that counts for nothing.
As for your comment that he almost kicked a man half to death!, without meaning to sound like i condone such actions which i most certainly dont, you sound like a bit of a drama queen, i helped out on the city centre pub doors for a while in the Early eighties and saw far worse take place on numorous occasions nearly every weekend, so please by all means do critisise him for his thuggery but to say kicked a man half to death is over the top and dramatist imo, and yes i have seen the cctv evidence of the incident.
Anyway back to Ben the player, he will give you 100%+ on the field and will realy prove to be a hit with your fans i am sure, i would have loved to see him stay at Hull Kr but unfortuantely as previous Kr fans have already stated, he ran out of chances and the club had no other real alternative but to release him.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ben for his contributions on the field for the club over the last few years and would also like to wish him well in the future, for gods sake just try and keep your head down this time and concentrate on what you do best on the field.

Bad decision to sign ben Cockayne. Why do you need him, top of the league playing great Rugby. he will upset the team he will be on a higher salary than other players. I am afraid you can forgive someone once , think about forgiving someone twice, but after that it is all down hill. Once a scoundrel always a scoundrel.

ahhh scabbs owd cock! I thought this would draw you out!
How the devel are you sweetheart pet lamb???

Missed you

Confirmed: - Ben is def a rover!!

As a player, he's a SL standard player and he's a great addition to the squad

As a person, you have a PR disaster and someone i wish would find another profession, preferably something very dangerous.

But as it's not your club he's playing with, I note your comments but with respect, I hope that our club is now left to make the judgement on whether he's been a valuable signing ourselves!

Not picking a fight, i like Fev, met a few last year, top lads but there is no doubting the guy is a scroat of the highest order.

On the field though he can only add rather than detract from your squad i'll concede that.

He can! And that's what I'd rather concentrate on rather than the notoriety and a hell of a lot of fevour whipped up about his history - which has been dealt with and serves no purpose to keep going over and over it again and again!

I would have thought he''ll only be with us til the end of the season anyway - he's SL class and will no doubt go back there. BUT, if he helps us win the GF then it will have been worth it!!

I personally don't know the lad - but I do believe him to be a decent signing at this time of the season!

hardly a disaster, the press love a bad boy to make a scapegoat and considering Ben was only a passenger he has taken a hell of a fall for Liam Watts. His facebook privacy settings were his major downfall, bilmy I think there are a lot of people out there that have extremist views but his actual comment was a throw away description of a person. Call him what you like but if you don't know him or never spoken to him your judgement is worthless.

Maybe we should list all the kids he's helped grow to love the game? How about the coaching he's done to help the grass roots levels of this game? Shall we maybe emphasise the time he spent with fans being much greater than some of the "gentlemen" of the game.

Maybe i could list the kid he put in hospital and could have killed.

Maybe i could list the countless amount of people on the end of racial slurs who don't find comments like that so easy to throw away.

Maybe if Keil Thompson hadn't been roughing up his girlfriend in the middle of a pub or assaulted Bens friend he'd not have been in that position in the first place.

It's History!!

He's at Fev now. Debate the rights n wrongs of his signature elsewhere. I'm happy he's signed for us. If it works fine. If it doesn't he'll go elsewhere. He's not at your club.
Why does it matter so much to you to keep posting this on here???

Me and my family are already planning a trip over to watch him play, I really hope he goes well for you.

Oh dear!

Racism equals a minor offence in your book....
