Bit of a non story so far, will see if anything develops but only click bait right now

Maybe but the anti Leeds vultures ate circling wanting him banned.
We don’t want more Hardaker (first spell) witch hunts and trial by social media. If this escalates further and Bentley us to blame i’d get rid straight away.

But it may be a storm in a tea cup

Seems an odd one, why was he even there?

Does anyone know who the two English players playing knock a door run were?

Well mad Mickey ain't his biggest fan. Maybe a bit of fallout from the playoff game in France.

By this point it wasn’t the official England team just some players staying an extra night for sone drinks, its likely there may have been one or 2 others not in the England set up just essentially a few mates.

It will be captured on CCTV as most floors have them.
Big brave lads doing that though bet they`re dead proud.

Knock a door n run?. Drunk?.
Great example to set. Bunch of clowns

Won't be Micky Mac. He'd only have got a couple of metres before they answered.

Yep. The truth will come out. The Aussie press have got hold of it and they won't let go. I imagine there will be a few sweating in the England camp.

A few on Twitter now saying the incident started because of something Wane said to Bentley that he took exception to. It sounds very much like he was involved in it. I remember there was a lot of extra-curricular misbehaving when he was in charge at Wigan as well.

Seems that from that, Bentley has tried to assault Wane, then been headbutted by Victor Radley. The suggestion is he was drunk and confronted Wane about not picking him for England. Presumably Wane has then told Bentley what he thinks of him and it's gone from there.

I'm not sure what disciplinary action they could bring against Bentley unless he gets charged by the Police. I think he might have burned a few bridges in terms of being selected for England/GB in future though. A Yorkshireman playing for Leeds who has played for Saints was never going to get in though.

Haha go on Radley

Shows why he was not picked in that incident. Doesn't have the temperament to play top level

Sounds like Bentley's been a dick.

Not sure that an England coach still out on the drink with some - though apparently not all - of his team some 36 hours after a defeat is a model for improving standards.

Ask the Saints players. My money is on Welsby.

rugby players and booze.
sounds like lots have been dicks not just Bentley.
no doubt he will get blamed mind...

Big daft lads doing big daft lad things. Typically Rugby League players are not famed for their intelligence. Nothing to see here, just people looking to make a story out of a couple of dummies doing silly things.

Apparently Samoa were staying in same hotel and England players knocking on doors and running off.

As others have said why was Bentley there?
Why was wane out on the ale with them?

I’m sure Bentley played his part but a useful fall guy for England players and their coach as well

What ever has gone doesn't do the game any good

True, especially if it distracts attention from the substandard no-show of Saturday afternoon. Which, incidentally, was far more detrimental to the game here than anything Bentley and his dance partner served up the following evening.

Why was Bentley even at the hotel?

No excuses for Bentley should not have been there but wonder who allegedly invited him from the pub. Why were the England Management team getting drunk with the players!
Who were the players knocking on doors and misbehaving! As has been said big daft lads and alcohol stuff happens but if the coaching team are present it shouldn't so somebody has to accept a level of responsibility. Might have to bring back the Lazenby Cup if Bentley gets a ban lol

No doubt Bentley is still friends with a lot of the Saints players in the England squad? Otherwise can't see Oledski inviting him unless they are best buddies.

Does it matter?
