That would make sense. I suspect that we stand a good chance of re-signing Bentley. I guess if Leeds offer him a ton of money and a job nearer home then it most be tempting. However the club should be able to give him a good offer and he does seem to be enjoying his Rugby.
King for Kev just feels like trading your car in for a newer model.
Coote going home makes sense, he has not played to the same level since getting injured last year with Welsby looking better than him in some respects. He could be getting old or just his home life upsetting him but he has been a good signing and will leave as a crowd favourite.
Theo is a good player but doesn't seem to be a star in our side. Maybe we don't appreciate him enough or maybe he isn't a Saints style player. Either way the club seem keen to bet on Dodd as our next 7 so the writing is on the wall for Fages.
Regarding the Tomkins rumour, I assume he may be going back to Wigan after a holiday in France or he may be enjoying France enough to stay. You feel we would want to show interest to push his price up and maybe act as a smoke screen. Even with some upgraded contracts we must have some room for another quality player. Ideally someone that could cover in the halves. I suggested Connor rather than Tomkins.
