about time they sorted these english refs out , they are all on massive ego trips , they need to realise that its not them the fans pay money to see , they always used to say that a good ref you wont know hes on the field , ridiculous whats been happening lately , not just with giants either

Brilliant! Didn't realise it was Bentham. First game of ours he's officiated since the final.

because he just sounds like a right whinger - others did complain about the merry whistling- but at the end of the day we werent smart enough to change our game to play the game the way the ref wanted, unlike wire - and unlike leeds did the week before. And if we'd have played our game the way we did against them at MM or the way we did at Headingley we wouldnt have been penalised.

Yes we would.

Wire were playing the game no differently to us, they just weren't getting penalised for it.

Same happened to Hull v Leeds the same weekend. Two teams, one ref, two different reffing interpretations.

Absolutely true - Brown's comments reveal him, to the outsider, to be astonishingly arrogant and a poor loser.

I expect him to face a disciplinary and a stiff fine, much like Mr Agar did earlier in the season when he made similar comments about Mr Child's officiating.

just like mcdermott was after his comments following the wakefield game? - oops no because hetherington didnt complain about those funnily enough.
