the trouble was Fensom when he left was being paid like a SOO rep, rather than a high work rate, low impact bench middle he was. If he's paid in line with his role, i'd have him back.
That's my opinion too. No one at the cows wants him to leave because he's filling that role for them. Cult hero status already and all that, but they know he's a chance of leaving. Would be great for him to be able to finish his career in green even if it's from the bench.

His attacking skill set has shown itself much more up there.

No room for both Bateman and Fensom in the squad. Unless Fensom really does come for peanuts.

Sure there is. This isn't fenno 2015/16. He'd be here to be a 4th benchie / depth as well as mentoring the younger guys coming up.
Bateman is on a small contract. It's why he only re-signed for 1 year.

I think Fenno coming back on a realistic contract could work, he can cover a few positions and one thing you could never ever say about him is hes looking for a free ride.

It does look like he loves us and we love him.... come back Fenno !!

Fenno is now playing well below NRL standard I’m afraid. Money would be best spent on players in the up in their career not on the down.
