Edited the opening - Careful.

fisher was a great player and still is was the top tackler in SL a few seasons ago

So why did no SL club sign him? He's a great player at Championship level but not at SL level IMO.

hes an aussie for starters so that limits his chances coming towards the end of his career same as obst but the worst hooker in SL that statement just proves you havent got a clue jog on back to your own board

Sorry ,I have to disagree. He may be on the decline now,but I reckon he can still hack it in S.L. (Can`t believe I am sticking up for a Rovers player.

)

Fish will be fondly remembered but we now have 3 Hookers and I'm excited by the competition for places in that position

Fisher often turned games when he came on I'm with Sandra shed a tear with his speech at end of the season, great guy is fisher just wish I'd have bumped into him at morrisons. Good luck to him.

There's a difference between being a 'great player' and 'being able to hack it'. It's clear that he's not a great player, if he was he'd be snapped up by a SL club.

Which first choice hookers do you think are worse than him? What does him being an Aussie have to do with it?

He's been training at my gym for the last few weeks,a real nice guy and im pleased to see he's found himself a club. Always thought he was one of your best players and was suprised when you released him.

Thanks for pointing that out bud.

It's no exaggeration to say that Ben Fisher was probably the most influential player in the Championship when Rovers got promoted.

Not the best Super League hooker by a long way, but certainly never looked out of place either.

As has already been said, he is likeable guy and a tremendous clubman too who is guaranteed to give 100 per cent commitment and still has a lot of rugby left in him.

From where I am sitting, he is the best signing made by a championship club for next season.

always solid rarely spectacular in sl, the slower pace in nl will make him a big asset, good servant to the club and never let us down but i honestly had been saying for a year or 2 we needed to improve in that area to improve on the whole. Only time will tell if our new recruits and Josh will lift us.

I'm pleased he's got fixed up but would undoubtedly still be in SL if he were fed trained. He looked every inch SL standard while he tore Hull a new one on his way to try line in the play off stroll last year.
All the best Fish, Batley will go well next year with Kear, Fish & Ben Black.

Never understand why that is viewed as something to boast about really.

You are not surprised no SL players came in where??? Or is it just your usual bull ?

i thought he might get a bottom end club, more than capable of another year or 3 in sl, the quota thingy probably doesn't help

Cough....[size=50Tony Martin[/size.........Cough

Isn't he off both quota and non fed lists?

Aye.

Great servant to Rovers. Size and age maybe counted against him. Similar to Sam Obst, another very watchable player (who was still on quota, I know). Either could have done a job as a SL squad player. They'll be stand-out first team regulars in the Championship, which is a better way to bring down the curtain than playing under-20s, IMO.

Wonder if he's taken the Fish van, Sandra?

Terrific signing for batley,gives 100% on and off the pitch,a real nice guy and will be a success for sure. Good luck ben.!

according to the sun he is now coming to Saints? Eh?

What? As much as I'd be chuffed for him, I can't see that.

He was linked with Leeds previously...
