Heading back to Australia at the end of this season, after playing 250+ games for both us and Wakefield.

Confirmed by the club according to the YEP.

Well i'd like to thank him and wish him all the best. He's been a key player for the Bulls over the past couple of seasons.

Re: Ben Jeffries : Tue Sep 04, 2012 8:32 pm  

I have had a pleasant surprise since Jeffries returned to the club, we all know he has his limitations but I think he's done a great job this year.

I wish him all the best for the future.

Good luck BJ. Shame Sky Sports couldn't spell his name right or put a picture of him. It's heath Le Strange in the photo!

Radio 5 have just reported he's returning to Australia to be a coal miner.

Good luck to him. Thnk this has been his best season.

Perhaps the uncertainty of when he was at Wakey n what's happened whilst at the bulls has been the reason behind the career change.

I can't think of a better job than playing rl with your mates but when you have a family to provide for it's certainly not the most secure job in the world.

Good look BJ

Or perhaps he's 32, been over here 10 years, and has the chance of a good and permanent job back in Aus. The simplest explanations are usually the best!

I would say bloody well played to him, he has been a far better and far more consistent performer this time round, and has even I would say won several games almost single-handedly with astute kicks to Whitehead etc., or put us on the road to wins. He's been a big factor in our 2012 revival, and all the best for his future.

I'd like to wish him and his family all the best for the future and I hope he takes back many happy memories of his time in the UK. Seems a pity though from a rugby point of view as he's playing better than ever this season. Take care, and all the best mate..
