Stobart Super League XVII
Huddersfield Giants v St Helens 3pm
Ref P Bentham TJ R Hicks TJ P Marklove IG M Hawkes IG J Roberts RR T Mahar TJ Coach T Brown TK K Leyland MC G Kershaw

Bloody ridiculous after his performance in the Warrington game we have got him again for a big game !!

Forward passes will abound and after all the stick he got about Tommy Lee we will have players trotting off to the bin left right and centre or someone sent off !! Bear in mind Royce Simmons 'dissed' the ref last friday so you can guarentee we'll get caned this week so the discipline needs to be good !!

Think you are right. Need discipline or this will be a pen- fest. Or cards galore. That said i will offer him my verbal opinion on his ref-ing standard at both half time and full time I suspect

I have the distinct feeling someone at the giants upset mr Cummings in the past and he's never quite got over it.

Odsal stadium versus Leeds Rhinos, 2006 !

cummings is the problem all refs are full time . The reason for this was to makesure all refs interpret rules the same they are ment to train togather and as part of there working week look at all of the games on vt and discuss any inserdents. except for human error every game the refs should be consistent in how the game is managed no mater whos in the middle. But we all know the likes of ganson and co we can the same man 3 weeks runing and every game will be managed differently and i think this is what really off fans .

Don't know about that, they seem to have a different way to ref a game, in each half!!

Bentham doesn't make mistakes equally which doesn't make him a poor ref it makes him something very different. I won't elaborate on that but strange how we get him when we are up against all the so called top teams.

Pointless getting worked up about him cos we know what he is and we are going to have to be world class on Sunday to get owt out of the game against 14!!!!

Onwards and upwards

We need to be 110% disciplined this week otherwise we'll get hammered by him.
Bentham's performance will have as much impact on the result as both the teams !!

i think maybe winning at widnes to get back in superleague

Bentham = Ganson - lite


Anything could happen in the next half hour.....

in typical RL fashion, he'll probably referee the game completely opposite to how he reffed the warrington game!

And the further bad news is the weather.

Going to clear up this afternoon.

giants cant play in the wet we know this!
