Peacock played the ball and then went after Bateman. I don't think he left Bentham much option in the circumstance. It was an incredibly dumb thing for him to do especially in that game situation and field position. He got precisely what he deserved at that point, likewise with his eventual sin-binning for dissent. Sarcastically applauding the referee's decision may curry favour with his coach but they're as daft as each other if they think any official worth his salt is going to put up with that.

If you've got any specific examples of Bradford player's doing likewise we can discuss those as well.

A great game and no complaints from me on the ref apart from the Sinfield no knock on decision but that wasnt what cost us the point.

Good to see a bit of needle in these games again,long may it continue.

Whether it was high or not what you think, where the hell do you get he was held? He was tackled more than 10 yards further forward, the ref blew because of the Bulls player laid out, then took Baile back to where that incident was. Completely wrong and ridiculous decision.

Are some of your fans really still trying to blame the ref?



There were a few dodgy calls both ways, as there are in every game. Stop trying to find someone to blame other than your players and just be pleased that there is some 'passion' back in our derby.

Its a pity your own fans cannot follow your advice.Didn't the RAB forum go into meltdown after the Bulls home defeat to St Helens with Mr Roby as referee? Take the plank out of your own eye

7 pages of moaning about a ref who most people think did ok in a great game. Lets get over it, we have a game in 72 hours so long as we can clear the snow from Odsal!!! Enjoy your trip to France, trust the weather is better for you guys!!

Jamie Peacock didnt play well tonight at the end. Rest of game he was fine.
Still think the ref has the RL Chief exec's ear to keep the league as close as possible though. Every time except 2 has had a draw i think!!!

What he said. Pathetic blaming the ref with some of the poor decision making & standard of play from the players.

One of the worst refereeing performances of the year if not more

Got every contentious decision wrong, and seemed to be guessing most of the time.

he missed knock ons , he got turnover rulings wrong, he wasn't consistent at all.

then obviously got the hump with Leeds & seemed hell bent on getting the Bulls over for that last try

what rounded the night off for me was Scruton trying to take Baileys head off getting laid out flat in the process then Bailey getting marched back 10 yards & told off

Have Rhinos never won a game off the back of some poor decisions. Of course not, they're always the victims.

Why do you feel the need to repeat what JP did?
I've already said it was a penalty and agree his dissent deserved a yellow but ateod all that happened in the 1st incident was pushing.
As for specific incidents Sammut x2 and L'estrange committed just the same offences in the 2nd half which could have resulted in penalties that weren't given and im sure if you look hard enough there'll be others showing Leeds players doing the same so if he isnt penalising the offence earlier why wait to do it at all it points to inconsistency imo.
Also for the visitors to the forum not once have i blamed the official for the result and posted clearly the draw was a fair result in the end.

Having just caught the Whitehead dump tackle and aftermath I'm still at a loss as to how Bentham allows him to stay on the pitch
