More so against lower teams if you look into it.
For the record our current records which each official.........
Thierry Alibert - 7 Wins 0 Losses from 7 games - 100%
James Child - 4 Wins 0 Losses from 4 games - 100%
Ben Thaler - 15 Wins 2 Draws 4 Losses from 21 games - 78%
Ian Smith - 32 Wins 1 Draw 13 Losses from 45 games - 72.2%
Richard Silverwood - 27 Wins 12 Losses from 39 games - 69.2%
Steve Ganson - 47 Wins 4 Draws 22 Losses from 73 games - 67.1%
Phil Bentham - 7 Wins 14 Losses from 21 games - 33.3%
The average success from all that is 67.8% so Bentham is way, way, way below that.'"
Thanks for all the statistics, Bilko! They prove what my original post was trying to show. It is frightening that Wigan have only won a third of the games Bentham has reffed when with all the other refs we have won at least two thirds!
Surely there must be a reason for this statistical discrepancy/anomaly.
I also wonder what Warrington's win/loss ratio is when Bentham was ref!
