Just want to wish Phil Bentham all the best for a speedy recovery. We all go mad at the refs from time to time but no one wants so see that. You could hear he was in a lot of pain via his microphone. Get well soon Phil.

Agree, hope you have a full and speedy recovery Phil.

Tomkins looked like he was telling him to keep still, showed his class in number of ways. 2nd try was quality and had time to assist a ref in distress.

Looked really nasty at the time, and I still haven't got round to watching it on TV.

I can only echo the sentiments of others and wish Mr Bentham a full and speedy recovery.

I can also confirm that around us (middle/middle of South Stand), there was no pïss-taking after the first few seconds, when we all thought he'd just been knocked over.

RE Hicks: I do think it's a little bit unfair on him, he's not used to being in charge, only to advice the man in charge from the touchline. How many times have any of us seen something from a distance and yelled "are you flipfloping blind" then missed the very same thing when we're up close?

Yes, I think Hicks did a (un)fair few bad calls.... but he was never prepared for the task of being in charge for this game.

That said... I sometimes thought his shirt could just as well been a spare KR shirt they just happened to have brought with them.....

Its just a shame it took Bentham getting injured for me to realise how good a ref he is because Hicks is an absolute muppet. After seeing how bad Hicks was i think i will be laying off our top level referees as they are doing a very tough job pretty well if he is anything to go by.

Get well soon Phil.
