Piggy's mate Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Excellent signing. I remember Ben Black was a very good Fax import too, let's hope for the same from Ben Touch Rugby W(h)inger and part-time Super Hero (Thursday mornings by appointment) BATLEY BULLDOGS RLFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Another announcement at tea-time, maybe a re-signing? If we can bring in 2 more new ones of the quality we've got, it's looking good. Put this in your diary for posterity..Phildog says he's happy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UP THE DOGS. Ben Kaye is a great bloke to have around the place, enthusiasm by the bag load. With regards to him as a player when we released him in 2019 to be honest I thought it were at least 1 season after it should have happened, maybe even 2. I hate to say it but he certainly wont bring any pace around the play the ball and I thought our attack was stiffled when we had him on the field to give Moore a breather but that said he is a really tough defender and once again a good bloke to have around the place.

You seem bitter against everyone who leaves Fax... Ben Kaye is a top player on his day maybe having a year out and having a rest and doing abit of bodybuilding will of helped him and revived his career and drive in the game http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

Ben Kaye is a top player on his day maybe having a year out and having a rest and doing abit of bodybuilding will of helped him and revived his career and drive in the game Why am I bitter? Ben Kaye is a really good bloke and its not like you have signed him from us. If my team signs a player then I would want to know other peoples opinions of him. Read just about any post Ive made about him on the Fax board dating back 2 or 3 seasons and I have said exactly the same as what I said above.

The Phantom Horseman Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Blues Ox is pretty much spot on here. Kaye will be an asset to Batley because of the "intangibles", the enthusiasm he shows etc, he'll find something to celebrate 50 times a game. He's solid defensively too. The guy who thinks he'll "bring plenty of attacking moves with pace" probably hasn't seen him play too much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Taylor Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Good character, good defensive and plenty of enthusiasm. Very much a player you'd want in your team if you are low on enthusiasm or confidence. 2008 RFL Wakefield & District Young Volunteer of the Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That entire description is certainly accurate for Kain at his peak, but this image you have of of Benny Kaye ripping teams to shreds and doing chips through...Like I say, he's a good signing for you though.

The Blues Ox Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Yeah I wonder if Silverback is getting mixed up, that description is not Ben Kaye. Can't ever remember him kicking for us, might have been once in a blue moon and he may do the odd run from acting half but can't remember what you would call a clean break. Maybe its Moore who has ripped you to shreds for us, won't be Kaye. Again though I wouldnt want Kaye in my team for his attack. I would want him in my team for his rock solid defence and his enthusiasm. That will rub off on your players and there is nowt better than seeing him celebrate a big tackle or even a solid defensive set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
