You do realise when the incident occured?

He was a loose cannon in his first 12-18 months at Rovers but Justin reigned him in and it resulted in him signing a 3 year contract last season

Still a bad example to pick. (although Tommy is nowhere near as bad as Cockayne was/is)

Tommy would be a great signing for most SL clubs that require a 2nd/3rd hooker imo.

Was in Justin or was it the threat of prison??

Given the right environment/coaching I will say 1st choice eventually.

no it was not a bad example, a friend sticking up for a friend in a fight around the town...ok the way he went about it was all wrong but it happened once and he has paid his dues. I really dont think you want to be getting onto the subject of violent players not being educated by their coach (Radford, Lee, Burnett...etc).

When Ben signed for Rovers he was regularly the officials worst enemy and was sent off at Sheffield for a head butting incident after he was put on report for a biting offence. Justin has channelled this enthusiasm and made Ben into a player that can be a match winner. So what Justin could do with Tommy Lee I would love to see but doesnt look likely now.

If he has i see no reason why it has yet to be announced officially. I would suspect he is still in talks with a number of clubs and has not actually signed for anyone as yet.

There was almost two years between the incident and the actual conviction and then sentencing.

In between Justin sorted him out which is why he got his new contract

Tommy Lee. No thanks, we are trying to improve the team. Why do you think a club third to bottom are letting him go.

Hindsight's a wonderful thing, but I wouldn't have given a new contract to someone with a potential jail sentence hanging over him.

Fair point, I do not think Tommy is quite the handful Ben is/was anyway.
