Maybe you should write to the RFL and ask why he was punished in house after that game, and why it's a disgrace that he's allowed near a Wigan game ever again.

I do hope you are not trying to influence the RLF and the refs here.

The matches you lost you deserved to one way or another.

Wait for this if its true that bentham has a son that runs the line so watch out in 6 years time could be like father like son.

You clearly didn't watch the games, if you come out with such a statement.
He got an in-house reprimand after one of the games.
He allowed Ablett to stay on the field, then the disciplinary banned him for 3 games.
He sin binned Coley for nothing that was adjudged as nothing later.

If thats your definition of 'one way or another'.......well

I think you're a little confused there.

The latter 2 incidents were Ganson.

It's interesting that incidents with Ganson ( our other "bete noire") and Bentham refereeing have been confused.

Is it a coincidence that one is from Leigh, but apparently lives/works in Warrington and the other is/was a member/supporter of Saints?

Both grew up in the 80's/early 90's when Wigan dominated domestic RL. How much must they have hated that as teenagers/young men - seeing their bitter rivals win almost every trophy for 8 years? Without wanting to cast any doubts on their professionalism, competence or reliability, might their experiences 15 -20 years ago not have left some sub-conscious antipathy towards Wigan?

I don't know the answer, but the statistics with Bentham are very revealing/damning and some of our recent experiences with Ganson equally so.

He did give you an extra man for abit this time though

Didn't really have a problem with his reffin today tbh. The only thing I could say was that he should have sin binned a Hudds player earlier in the 1st when he held him down half a metre from the line. But can't complain too much, we just didn't have any composure and kept dropping the ball when we were through.

Still find it a very worrying stat though, got to be something happening somewhere.

It's blindingly obvious - Mr Bentham doesn't let you pies get away with what the other referees do!

At the very least its a bad omen if we get him in the playoffs, At the very worst we have no chance when he is reffing

The last penalty that caused the last huddersfield try was very debatable

The penalty count seemed low for 70 minutes, with only the obvious indiscretions being punished. Then bang bang 3 debatable penalties to Hudds in the last 10 minutes.
