Will ref the cup game

Just seen it on the Leeds board too.

At least he's equally bad for both sides, could be worse it could have been Ian Smith or Ganson

I think you did very well out of him to be honest, not saying he favoured either side just that you got the penalties when needed.

TBF though Leeds have been pretty shocking with disciplin in thier own half this year so you cant blame Bentham for that.

as long as he gets a grip, and controls any handbags, i dont mind

best one for it really.

he should have got a few yellow cards out last week, but was fairly even handed throughout the game.

It is going to kick off big styleee - so he will need to be strong and stop the Leeds niggling in the tackle.

Ganson wold be the only other option, but the game would end up about 6-a-side if he is in charge.

I thought Bentham had an excellent game last week.

It is so easy to penalise every little offence but he was even handed to both teams and kept the game flowing.

I'm looking forward to watching next weeks game from a bar in Ibiza.......

... and at least it gives me an excuse not to watch Leigh lose at Wakefield if I'm over there!

few dodgy calls for either side last week

otherwise sound,

With the Webcam Prince going back to Aus this shows how short we are of top refs in the game

I don't know, Ganson, Silverwood and Terry Halibut are performing quite well at the moment. Not seen much of Thaler so far this season, but he had a decent season last time round.

in all fairness, the ref can only see what the teams are doing
