can kr players not count to five?

Maybe not, but it helps if the ref can.

Thought Betham has a very good game, maybe the best this weekend, a couple of mistakes including the ones mentioned above.

They need to look at the rule about calling held to early, when the defending team pushing the player who is still moving into touch, penalty attack, the defence shouldn't get punished for good defence.

Bentham=liability

Thought Phil had a good game but then we won so I would say that!!!

The point in question did make him look a bit silly when the replay came on but I believe at Rovers it is the wingers job to keep the count and let the players inside know which tackle is coming up especially the 5th.

You are not really seeing the OP's point are you

Wow.

I'm glad you are not a friend of mine.

You say you had a drink and a social chat with Phil Bentham and that he was a 'decent guy'. I bet you were fawning all over him and all over him like a rash.

Then you go on an internet forum and accuse him of being 'dishonest' and that he should be punished by the RFL because of one small mistake.

Why stop there? Maybe he should be sacked and all his belongings sold off immediately?

In the unlikely event you actually have a job I bet you are the sort of bloke who goes for a few drinks with your work colleagues and then the following day you are straight into the bosses office saying 'Please sir.. I was out with James last night and he said he doesnt like your aftershave' or 'Please sir.. Caroline was boasting down the pub she stole a biro the other day'

You clown.

Referees are people. People make mistakes. You always hope that your mistakes are minor with no substantial consequences. This one falls into that category.

Doesn't make him a more dishonest or incompetent person than any of the rest of us.

What has that got to do with the fact that Bentham said he had raised his hand in plenty of time when he infact hadn't?

Good job he's not a brain surgeon eh? His mistake could have actually meant something. He made a mistake, the RFL will have a word wtih him and it shouldn't happen again. If it happened every week, then yes, action would have to be taken, but personally, I have never seen Mr. Bentham do that previously.

Hmm very suspicious as my mate saw him entering the ground and when asked "how much for an FC win?" He replied "oh well you will have to pay my wages for a few years...erm £200k!"

Think Hull were penalised for lifting the leg of the Rovers player enabling them to get him into touch easier... No chance of staying in the field of play when you're feet aren't on the floor and 3 people are pushing/carrying you into touch. Though I maybe wrong...

Nope, just having a yarn.


Nope, I'm not accusing him of being dishonest for making a mistake, I'm accusing him of being dishonest for lying when he stated he had his hand raised at the 5th tackle when the video evidence clearly shows he did not.


Nah.


Not been without a job since 1997.


Nope. I'm the sort of person who posted before the 2009 season that Hull FC had zero chance of reaching the play-offs and was also consistent with this view when disagreeing with an FC player whilst on a night out - I ain't two-faced.

Says a dense buffoon who can't even read posts properly
