Interesting last week. Thaler reffed 2 SL games, the Thursday night game and one on Sunday and Bentham only got a Championship game on Sunday to do. Was he demoted for some reason?

Sort of. Wigan were away from home. Same thing really

EPG on a Grade B carries a one match ban.

I would rather have Bentham than that little "mummy's boy" Hicks. He's a straight cheat that lad, not one I trust at all to be impartial. Funny how he admitted to mentally cataloging Danny Mcguire's complaints to him before giving him a yellow card for damaging his ankle ligaments on the Hull grub, yet responded to James Roby in the next game with, "alright, I'll have a look out for that" in response to Roby's complaining. The lad is a cheat, we need him reffing as few of our games as possible.

This would not surprise me at all.Would not mind Mr Roberts getting the gig instead.Thought he did a better job than Bentham when he came on as a sub for him in the challenge cup v Shudderfield.It maybe just me but I think we seem to get a raw deal in the 50/50 decisions with Phil B.Just have a look at MR B 's face when he is awarding the first try by Kallum Watkins in the CC v the giants!I thought he was going to cry.

Think Silverwood has been appointed

For Wigan, Bateman, Charnley, Clubb and O'Loughlin return.
Manfredi injured.

Wigan v Leeds games are always good games, looking forward to it.

The return of Clubb and O'Loughlin will be a big boost. Depends if they are both fully fit or coming back early.

O'Loughlin must only play about 50% of games, but is always back for Leeds games

It seems that way.

Must be the work of the Rugby Gods

Not true at all.
He only played in one of the three games v Leeds last year and has only played in one of the two so far this year.

Looking forward to a good game, I think it's edging towards a wigan win at the DW with the key changes in each team plus Wigan coming off the back of a poor performance last week.
