| Quote: Grimmy "Bentham did well, some people are never happy. I wonder what you would have said if we had been on the other end of the 8-2 penalty count!
Gelling has taken more carries, made more metres, scored more tries and more assists than any other Wigan player this season. He has also busted the line more than any except Manfredi. Granted he has a couple of handling errors in him that need ironing out but he's still well worth his spot in the team and IMO one of the best centres in the league'"
I think those who're having a go at Bentham are mainly on about the appalling inability to see players 2 yards in front of him at the PTB. The off-side rule may as well be scrapped for all it's policed (and what [iare[/i the touch-judges looking at anyway?). Apart from that, I agree with SW, he let the game flow. It would have been a completely different game if Child had been in charge for eg.
As for Gelling, he blows hot & cold. When his head's screwed on he's brilliant, but he does have a habit of falling into carelessness on occasion which just gives those who want to find anything to moan about, something to moan about.
FFS - we won the game - stop whinging.

| Quote: Geoff "I think that undervalues the defensive efforts from both sides.'"
I didn't mean it that way. I appreciate it was a tough tough match and the players gave their all.
What I meant was that there was very little attacking flair on show and whilst both defences had to work had down the middle, there wasn't much good attacking rugby on show. Far too many errors and a lack of cohesion from both sides.

| We all know that the pitch at the DW is extremely heavy at the moment, on the morning of the game we had constant drizzle right up to midday. Twenty five minutes into the match the heavens opened right through till half time. Whilst it won't go down in history as the most expansive game ever, it was better than I've seen in similar conditions previously.

yup, correct on all points. However, all this does is allow those squads who routinely flout the off-side rule to get away with it.
And then we're back to inconsistency. There are some refs who can't judge 10 yards if their life depended on it, let alone add a couple more. Also I remember one game last year where the ref was taking us back 10, but the opposition routinely got 8 or less (admittedly, I can't remember the ref or who we were playing).
It should be teams who're forced to comply, not refs adjusting to accommodate poor play (deliberate or otherwise).

| I don't have an issue with skinny 10s too much as long as it's the same for both teams. Coaches (in all sports, I guess) are the biggest hypocrites going, though. They ask their own players to push their luck; skinny 10s, holding down in the tackle, etc, and moan when the opposition do it. We complain if refs are continually blowing up for pens, disturbing the flow of the game. And we complain if they don't act when we perceive the opposition offside. It would be a simpler world if everyone stuck to the rules, but human nature being what it is...
