He's not biased. None of them are.

I'm missing Terry Hallibut. Has he gone on his hols?

Given that it has come down to a choice between the two QSF referees from last weekend Bentham comfortably represents the lesser of two evils from the RFL point of view.

St Helens should be breathing a huge sigh of relief.

As with all of them it's rarely not what they whistle for, they usually get that right, it's more what they don't whistle for that's the problem.

It's not what they whistle for, they usually get that right, it's what they don't whistle up for that's the problem.

When I went to the Huddersfield game. A guy behind me annoyingly spent the entire match shouting out loud his opinion of the ref. "How everything that went against us was always wrong".

I think, no matter who the ref is, no matter who the teams are. They'll be some supporter for the opposite team who feels just as badly done to, as you do.

Even as a Leeds supporter. I refuse to believe, Huddersfield or Saints are always offside but Leeds never are.

Wasn't he the reserve ref at Saints/Wigan match? Anyway he was stood on the touchline.

Yes Terry Halibut was the reserve ref for that match. It was a surprise even for the sky commentary team

What has happened to Thaler?

video ref according to frosties

as long as he doesn't have too much of a heavy session friday night and he's not got a hang overicon_biggrin.gif

haha!

The difference is, you won't get banned for that comment!!

Of all the referees Bentham is perceived as being the most likely to try to level a game up when one team is winning the arm wrestle.

That said, he can't do that if you don't infringe around the ruck, put high shots in, throw the ball forward or just plain drop the ball.

And don't talk back at him.

If he refs like he did at the weekend for us v Wigan it could make for a very fast and open game that to be honest would suite both teams,he let a few things go for the sake of keeping the game going.Im looking forward to it we think we can win it,you think you can win it,its just to close to call.Heres to a good game,its just to close to call.
