source = [http://rugbyleagueproject.com/players/Mike_Bennett.html Rugby League Project]Mike Bennett is a professional
rugby league player for Super LeagueRugby league club St Helens. His position of choice is second-row.Over the years, Bennett has become somewhat a cult figure with Saints fans who feel his no-frills, low risk style does not suit St Helens 'entertainers' image. This has resulted in several endearing ironic nicknames from the fans such as 'Basher Bennett' and 'Dangerous B'. However, the majority of the support recognize and acknowledge the hard work he does for the team.
Mike announced on the 1st September 2008 that he would retire at the end of 2008 season due to Injury.
