Spoke to Ben at the time. The club proposed he was deregistered while he had the surgery that all needed doing, with a view to getting him back on the books the next year. That was the thin end of the wedge for him. Once he was off the books, it was always going to be hard for him to get his contract renewed, regardless of what was agreed in good faith.

funny you should mention him, i was wondering yesterday in light of riley's retirement what his official status was, i don't recall any retirement statements or anything like that, a sad end to a cult hero.

Retired from sport. Think his injury insurance package meant he couldn't return to the game. A great shame. Training to work in the real estate game now.
