No team in SL history has the better of us on the Head-to-Head statistic

I sent an e-mail questioning his match turning decisions in the cup-tie at Leeds. As I expected it wasn't read out.

Absoulute disgrace. He quite clearly hates us and iv heard many a story were he has publicly admitted this in certain places.

I wish some people would look at this years games only leeds away have we deserved to win, the others we deserved to lose the game.

Not a clue what you're on about?

It was an admin edit. Should have pointed that out.

I believe that to be the one & one biased Gerry Kershaw IMO, now he was a bad ref, much worst than you see today

Maybe Bentham is considered the top ref in Super League and the games you have had him for have been against the higher placed sides, eg Leeds, Saints and Wire and you just haven't been good enough for the majority of these fixtures.

The supposedly lower ranking refs have therefore taken charge of fixtures against your Salfords, Tigers etc... where Wigan have prevailed more often.

Bradford and Quins. Definately the top teams.

We didn't deserve to win most of those games imo, but I also don't think it's a coincedence.

Except the stats against the top 5 this year are:

v Saints 1:1
v Warrington 1:1
v Leeds 2:1
v Hull 2:0

so in our favour 6:3, of which Bentham ref'd us twice

And one of those losses was Silverwood as ref not Bentham, and 2 of our 5 total loses this season have been against 11th & 14th (ref: P Bentham)

Last year

v Saints 0:1
v Hudds 0:2
v Leeds 1:1
v Hull KR 2:1

against us 4:5, of which Mr Bentham ref'd 1:1 for us.

He hasn't ref'd us for any more games against the 'top sides' this year than last, nor more than other refs, but his numbers stand out and our win:loss against 'top' sides has actually got a lot better.

Any other theories that don't stand up to the light of day?















=#FF0000Personally I don't think it's any sort of suspicious conspiracy or bias, but I am genuinely interested as to Cummings' take on it all given the immense unlikely-hood of Bentham's stats against us over time in the context of our win ratio. P.S can Phil choose some lottery numbers for me.

How far back does this twenty odd games go?

24th Feb 2006 was his first Wigan game when we beat Hudds 36-20.

All stats from Bilko's fabulous site.

They really do make strange reading, and a lot of them are against the 'non top sides'
