I sincerely hope he gets a good turnout for Wednesday, he deserves it.

Amazing how a player loses all worth to a club due to an injury no matter how much service they have given.

I presume as we speak they are still paying his salary though...?

He will be being paid if he is under contract. If his contract has finished no they won't be paying.

That is the nature of a contract.

I believe if ben had stuck to the training and rehabilitation scheme provided by the club then he would be involved in tony smiths plans this year.....

That is a bit of a scurrilous comment.

Anyway hope he gets a decent turn out tonight, he has been with the club since being a kid and put his body on the line more than most.

As a Giants fan I have always admired him whenever he's played against us. One of the players I'd have happily had at the Giants.

Coming over tonight hoping for a good hit out and no injuries (for both teams).

All the best for the future Ben.

Do you think he'll be a "surprise" cameo appearance (playing last 5 mins or so), or perhaps just be there to carry the kicking tee or water on & off?

I wish him all the best whatever happens.

I guess my point is he is still under contract and so will be being paid. So surely we are not just dropping him like a stone. We will have paid him 2 years wages plus a testimonial without him having pulled a shirt on in that time...?

I think you'll find that Ben helped out with the coaching staff when he was fit enough, so he did earn his pay in another capacity.

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest, I'm not trying to suggest Ben has been doing nothing for two years or that he doesn't deserve anything but praise for his time at the club. I wish he was staying as fully fit, he's a great player and I can only presume a mix of injury risk and cap pressures put paid to him staying.

I'm trying to show the club has carried on paying his contract, and seemingly are going to should he not find another club. I presume (but don't know) the likes of Wheeler, Laithwaite, Grix and Harrison have been supported through their rehabilitation from injury throughout the length of their contract, and if any player left before the end of their contract, were paid an acceptable amount to terminate said contract.

Maybe I'm wrong and the players are being let down by the club somehow here, but if we are paying their contract and supporting them through injury during that contract period then they are meeting their obligations? Financially and morally..?

I think the fact Ben didn't play in his testimonial tends to confirm he is no longer under any contract.

Doesn't it just confirm he hasn't been registered to play so stays off the cap?
