Wakefield Trinity Wildcats v Catalans Dragons 8pm (SKY)
Ref P Bentham TJ R Cowling TJ M Wilson VR S Ganson RR G Dolan RTJ J Cobb MC P Crashley

hardly

yes he's crap, but unbiased crap

Means nothing, as long as we play our best we can have no complaints

They all are

The recent decision making by video referees are more worrying.

jeez..ganson as video ref

It's going to be a loooooooooooooooooooooong night.

Surely you would be better served by Mr Thaler

God help us all!!!







My blood's still curdling from his wretched "performance" against shudds from earlier this year. Easily the worst of a very mediocre bunch is bent-ham.

Yes he killed us in the first 20 and we never recovered.
Lets see how bent he is if a player gets a left hook on Saturday

Another thing I would to make completely clear, is that on having seen several other examples of the man's incompetance in general, all matches where I have been a neutral, yet in some way or another has always seemed go out of the way to needlessly ruin entertaining matches. So that its not just a rant on about bent-ham saving his worst for us (although that does tend to happen):

Hull FC v c*s at Murrayfield - only advised Danny Tickle about how long he was taking over his goal-kicking, but did little else to deter him into hurrying-up.
Hull KR v Warrington, Challenge Cup quarter final - before the match went into extra time, there ten seconds left of normal time, Bent-ham clearly turns around to both time-keepers to stop the clocks in order to allow for Warrington's last scrum to take place. They fail to notice the ref and the clock runs down to 80:00, with the final hooter going, leading several Warrington players, including Lee Briers to question why the scrum could not happen and the referee's response: "I never called time off!" Despite the fact that time off was uttered from his lips and the signal for the action was clearly given.
BOTH SAINTS V WHINOS MATCHES THIS YEAR - Both these matches were very heated and bad tempered affairs and who's fault was that? Yep, you guessed it. Phil Bent-ham's, for being incapable of being able to control two sets of highly charged and motiviated players and punish them accordingly whenever trouble came.

That's only a few viewpoints, albiet, very worrying ones.

Kinnel a new hobby!!!!!!!


[size=150Ref spotting [/size

from what the radio leeds presenters were saying about saturdays match Ganson made some poor descions on the pitch so how much of a mess up will he be as video ref

They are all good refs' when we win

So Bentham is worse than Childs?

can't be

I can count the number of decent performances Bent-ham has had when reffing against us on one hand and that was against, wait for it, Warrington at Belle Vue earlier this year, but to be honest, that was a straighforward match. We were awesome, Warrington played poorly although lets get on with talk of a rugby match, as us fans pay to see action on the pitch, not some jumped-up attenttion seeker in the middle.

Full stop.

Indeed, can PW count above 5??

Is it right to criticise someone before a game when some get shot down for doing the same after one - or are players and referees governed by different standards?
