Thats not a bad thing if he can recapture his form. He is British and what, 26?.
We just need some explosive line break /line bend power in the forwards,atm we have none. Lots of hard grafters.

I would be gutted if Bentley stayed

If we can get better,we should. As long as it doesn't take money from the spine .

However,we already have so much to do it will be hard on one off season

I'd have kept Bentley if playing for Leeds was where his ambition lay. But I'm far from sure we should if he'd ideally prefer to be playing for someone else

Apparently Catalan were in for him, suppose its a new life experience living over and something different, so cant blame him for looking into it.

I don't mind Bentley staying, depends on the salary involved. He's a Leeds lad, he's UK, a good player and i think surrounded by some better players he could get back to what he used to be.

I hope he stays , not big enough to be world class but tackles and tackles , rhinos fan also .

Bentley needs to play behind a quick PTB and bigger pack. He looked a much more effective ball carriers at saints and is waspish in defence when not having to do the really heavy duty stuff. Happy for him to stay, but also needs to start upping his game. He's got some tries in him too, so would like to see more in attack.

Agree, he's been playing in a poor side since he signed from Saints and more often than not a beaten pack. He's a forward that excels on the back of big metre makers.

Lots of players excel behind a pack that's making big yards. We need more players who make that happen, not relying on others to do it.
