calling refs "cheats" is just ridiculous imo

For parts of the game there is no other way to describe it

I thought he was poor - poor for both sides and poor for the attendance.

Agreed. They make decisions in a split second. Sometimes rights, sometimes wrong. Just like the players. Shame we can't have a little more respect as without them, there is no game.

a good honest take on the game. credit to you personally. after a heavy defeat at home to your rivals its easy to use the 'stock' excuse of 'the ref cheated us out of it'. good on you!

But if this were football and there were as many mistakes as we continually get there would be an up-roar, in football in a weekend there is one mistake over all games and it is the centre of attention

Sadly I wasn't at the match so I can't comment on Bentham's performance tonight, but he stands head-and-shoulders above all the other refs for being plain poor

His love of himself and his whistle is the stuff of legends

I wasn't at the game either and can't comment on tonight, but I think he's come on very well lately. He must be rated highly too as he's reffed the last two really, really big games of Saints and Leeds, and pretty well too I reckon.

Didnt have the best of games tonight,

Missed calls on both parts.

I think Bentham's a dire ref - dunno what Cas are complaining about, he almost NEVER checked them for offside but kept doing us for it in the first half. Thought the game flowed better in the second half, thankfully, and we looked better for it.

Cas could only seem to get up to our line in the first half off the back of penalties, the whole team looked like they were blowing! Applied some telling pressure to us early in the second half though, we did well considering

Begs the question where was the man with the flag?
