He's worth another year.
The bloke man turn our season around after his return with one big hit. Ok he got a few weeks off but we beat leeds against thr odds.

Instead of learning and improving on mistakes made, they stick to type by keeping the status quo. Just like the one out sterile type of rugby currently employed by the club.

I've already a Wigan and Widnes fan laughing at the lack of ambition. The Widnes fan said he'd be furious if they'd signed him

The same Widnes fan who renewed a season ticket based on the fact they got shot of Brown. He was right there and he's right here


Widnes, that showed class & ambition signing Rangi Chase. That went well at least we had a few more games out of Sandow

Not any more, that dispensation was removed a few years back.

I think plenty of clubs would have been interested for a player like that to provide squad depth.

I agree. I think he still has a lot to offer especially in the bigger games. Only one with a bit of biff.

Sorry!

At least Ben will give 100% of what he has to give, but i find signals coming from the club very alarming especially with the poor season & lack of club interest in fixing the problem. I don't know if any more information will come from the club once we are safe for SL next season which could be settled this weekend if we can beat Leigh. The lack of enterprise from the club stupefying.

Difficult one to judge when considered in isolation.
Can see pro's and con's.
Really need to see the other forwards in the 2018 squad to take a view.

Maybe some thoughts that Ben will be retained in some club role after?

What signs are these as there are very few if any signs coming from the club at the minute.
only signs are coming from OZ that we are actively seeking a new coach.
Andy the club have announced a couple of signings bit that's all

Great decision on Bennie. I'd also offer Rob Burrow a deal too.

Absolutely shocking decision, he is finished. This clubs goes from one despairing issue to another. Hanging on to old players regardless of their service shows a complete lack of ambition by the club and those fans applauding it.

This is why we are not a "Top Club", we will always be also ran's!

Bennie "HAS" been a terrific servant to this club. The club have to recognise this and reward accordingly, which they have done.
