Replace Hardaker with Barba and Gale with Roby and you could say the same thing about Saints. It's amazing when you take the best two players out of a team how much easier it is to play against them.

What's happened to Phil Bentham. Not been seen since houston nailed him.

What's happened to Jack Smith the one who was in the Marines and shot in Afghanistan seemed to be one of the better new refs coming up in the previous year or so but he doesn't seem to be getting many SL gigs this year and confined to the Championship.

He stepped down as a full time official last season(?) seemingly after a string of bad performances (pushed?), now seen running the touch line in SL. Shame really because until that run he was pretty good.

I didn't see this many Cas fans question the officials when they were battering Leeds last week!

The Shenton try Kendall sent up as no try in that game because obstruction was the most bizarre call of the season tbf. The replay showed literally nothing close to a dummy runner nevermind obstruction
