Straightened his arm and then swung it, should have been a straight red.

Horrendous tackle.

On report. If that's not a red, what is? Total cop out.

Boom! nuff said.

The 'on report' system needs to go. All it does is give referees the opportunity to dodge making difficult decisions.

Spot on mate.

Bentham's bottled it after a dreadful challenge. The only ref with the balls to have made the correct call there and send him off is Ganson.

Just what does anyone have to do to get sent off?

Right in front of Bentham, not even ten minutes, he’ll probably get three or four matches for that, but that doesn’t help Warrington right now.

Sheer thugary from Lee, Bentham is a jelly.

Yup. From what I heard on Sky (would have to play it back) the touch judge was trying to tell him how bad it was, but all he was interested in was putting it on report.

I think it's seriously unacceptable for a referee to stand 5 yards away from an incident like that and not reach for a card. The touch judge said "He's got to go." If a referee cannot or will not use his authority to protect players from that sort of assault then he needs to be removed from his position and "retrained". Disgusting abdication of his responsibility in my opinion.

I didn't think it was as bad as it looks. Briers stopped just as he was going to be tackled and was going down at the time. He will get a ban though. I thought Waterhouse did one just as bad and yet no one says anything.

The touch judge said " In my opinion he (Briers) was going down at the time"

Are you a Huddersfield fan?

I think that was Bentham.

Definately not.

Well I don't know what you were looking at then, but it was an awful tackle. He straightened the arm and swung it at neck/head height. Briers wasn't falling that much that it wouldn't still have been high.

high???? it was just above his knees

Bentham has lost control.

whats happened now?.. dont have tv pictures etc

Bentham reaping what he's sown now.


It's turning into a brawl. They're kicking off every other tackle. It's a farce. He still won't use his card.

Minor scraps breaking out every two minutes, high tackles, leading with elbows...

This has turned into a joke. Bentham is completely inept.

Bottled it again. Warned captains, another penalty, no sin bin. Poor.

3 on report?

I think he's just put everyone on report to be safe.
