Jon Wilkin believes James Bentley will leave Leeds Rhinos at the end of the season. The Sky Sports pundit named the back-rower as one of the best players on the open market as they took a look at the list of off-contract players currently in the competition.
Bentley signed a two-year deal to join Leeds from St Helens but Wilkin, who had estimated his salary cap value at £125,000, thinks a move could be on the cards. In an added lure, Wilkin also stated that he did not expect Bentley to command the same pay packet as his current one.
"I think he signed for Leeds Rhinos from St Helens at the peak of his powers," Wilkin said. "He was in exceptional form. Since he's gone to Leeds, he's gone on top value... it's really not gone that well for him, he's had a number of disciplinary issues, a few injuries, so maybe his value isn't there.
