Quote: Andy Gilder "The two key decisions, as it turned out, in that game weren't made by Phil Bentham.
One came from a SL qualified referee running the line failing to spot that a ball had actually gone into touch off Josh Charnley, and the other from the video referee playing guesswork on the Leuluai grounding.'"
I thought the missed forward pass to Lima for his 2nd try was pretty key also at the time. Not sure from memory whether it was the touch judge or referee that missed it though.
Quote: Andy Gilder "Where I do have a problem with Bentham is that I can watch games where there is some of the most obvious of miles forward passes, and he does nothing. Yet Leeds he seems to ping for it (even 50/50) at every opportunity he gets. '"
Who was the referee (and in perfect position to rule on the pass from Jones-Buchanan to Webb) at the Galpharm in the Play-Offs?

Phil Bentham is the only referee St Helens will have seen during this season's Play-Offs.
