It was virtually a trip, that is why it was penalised. It was more of a football tackle!!

Not really Bentham's fault moreso the touch judges but Fosters kick after their last try never went through the post. Final result 24-24!!

In terms of letting the game flow it was amazing to watch but in terms of some individual decisions I didn't think he was all that.

That's why it wasn't given. That kick would have made it 28-12



If you're talking about the one after Wellens try just watch it back on TV

Bloody stella still not out of system.

Not a bad game but the games he ref's the penalty count is more or less even. He gives penalties especially Wigan when they are in their own half which doesnt really effect the game such but gives opposition penalties in positions which can effect and normally end up being a try around half way. So when referees are judged they see it as a level on the penalty count but he was very parictular with some penalities when both teams where offside all day. If he isnt going to clamp down on this then it becomes very difficult to see attacking rugby.



All tries where from 10-15 metres typical when offsides are not punished

You won the penalty count by about five. What are you complaining about?

Penalty count was 9-8 to Wigan.

I too think he had a good game. He let the game flow but gave penalties when they were needed. About as good as you get from SL refs at the moment.

According to the RL press today it was either 10-5 or 9-6, depending on which paper. Either way, you won the penalty count, so why the moaning?

Can someone tell me the ref(s) for all our 4 games that we have lost this season.?
