Ben joined the Redbacks after the 2008 season to stay fit during the winter, having said that he didnt want to play matches, he came down to Chichester in the mud and put in the man of the match performance. His height and strength fantastic rucking and smashing the opposition on the centre of the park, earning him the "shinboner" nickname, this season he aims to make as many matches as possible and make some more of his massive hits!
