You're correct, it is useless information. He was a left back.

It’s a discussion board with a key point being to debate things and a number of Wakefield posters have posted just as much on this topic with some including yourself resorting to insults or mocking. Yet I’m argumentative just because you don’t like or agree with my view.

Splitting hairs

thank you for backing up my post up yet again, if you think for one minute that were obsessed in getting Parcel banned you are deluded he doesn't pose a threat,
as for the collisions with the refs, once could be accidental, twice is stupid, three times definitely requires action upon and that's within 2 games especially when the first one was within his vision and he couldn't of even of stopped the try only prevent a closer kick in which my gran could of converted it.
carry on your complaining as you are just continuing to make your self into the clown

I wish to offer you a job.

I have a hole in my back garden that needs digging

Not said anyone was “obsessed” or “deluded” or “argumentative” or “clown”......those words have been thrown at me simply because I’ve said the refs could do better with their positioning. Have you seen the third incident by any chance? Leeds put up a high kick and Child moves one way, then the other then back again then stops dead about 3/4m right in front of the London FB. Where do you think the Leeds chasers are coming from and do you honestly think that’s the best place to find himself? Because the ball ends up bouncing then Parcell could’ve possibly gotten to it if his path wasn’t blocked. A good ref with good positional awareness shouldn’t have players having to stop dead in their tracks or run around him to get to a ball or a tackle.

I believe the Houston incident ended Benthams career.

Didn't Bentham also break his leg in a Wigan v HKR game a couple of years earlier?

I remember now. The incident in his last game was deemed an accident.

Apart from the ref contacts I do think Matt is a very emotional/petulant type of player. In the Leeds v Cas game at Headingley in 2017 he twice picked up the ball and kicked it into the stands when decisions went against him, with no action taken. Back in the day if Eric Clay or Billy Thompson had been reffing he would have been sent to fetch the ball himself while the crowd would be jeering him.

Eric Clay and Billy Thompson - now there's two names to bring back memories. They refereed in black jackets and white shirts if I remember correctly and wasn't Eric Clay nicknamed Sergeant Major. Certainly not to be messed with.

Yes Eric Clay was Sgt Major Clay! I once had the pleasure of talking with Alex Murphy who told me that just prior to one game, with Murphy lining up for Saints, he said to Eric Clay, " It's a nice day for rugby today Mr Clay", to which Eric Clay replied, "Yes it is Alex, and that's the last time you talk to me until after ther match!"
Rugby players are always protrayed as tough no nonsense guys, but they do have repect for the referee, which is to be admired, unlike those pampered fairies who play the round ball game!
