Yeah Bentley is a decent player, but his temper/discipline make it difficult to warm to him. If he can curb that, there is a definite player there

But where would he enhance the team?

If he could get his form back then yes, Savelio, Bentley, overseas backrower would be pretty good, Lane, Staverley, Jebson and Armstrong as back up.

In the back row. For me, he is a better player than Cator. Cator works hard, but his metres made must be very low. Bentley runs great lines - but that nagging feeling, is that he signs for us, then goes and gets banned regularly

I'd take Bentley if we can keep Savelio and bring in a big backrower. Was really hoping we would have been in for Goudemand but not to be.

Bentley is an odd one, there is no doubting he has talent but the issue is his discipline. Question is if you curb his aggression and discipline would he be as effective as a player?

Just ot sure he has the right temperament for TS when he is trying to set the club a better culture and attitude.

Feka's lad has the size to play in the back row now, get him in

Apart from his discipline problems is he really the level we should be aiming for in the second row.
For all his faults i think Griffin is a step above him on current form

Wouldn’t argue with that, would have Griffin over Bentley.
