And yet Leeds made many mistakes to balance it out. I still think Bentham tipped the scales and there's a little part of me still seething inside.
Sends a Wigan player off for next to nothing.
Doesn't send Senior off for kicking Joel who missed over 20 important minutes of the game.
Doesn't send Peacock off for two swipes at Sam's head. The league game showed that he was targetted and I don't just mean the Ablett attack.
Rogue, I've still not forgotten the Pat 'no try' at Castleford courtesy of Presley.

And gave Leeds seven - thats clear bias to Leeds that is!

The worst refereeing "mistake" against Leeds in the CC, though, was by the VR ( the one currently on bail) when he failed to give the Lee Smith knock on from the high kick, even though Bentham mentioned that to him. Instead of a Wigan scrum 10 metres from the Leeds line it was a handover. Leeds then got a penalty to take them upfield and then Coley was harshly judged to have barged late into a Leeds player which resulted in a kickable penalty - none of this would have happened if Ganson hadn't made a howler!

Same as in the Saints game, it was the VR who awarded 2 dubious Saints tries and the touchjudge who judged Carmont had impeded the Saints player while Carmont was playing the ball. Another game changing moment and harsh/wrong decision which led to 2 Saints tries in the following 5 minutes!

None of these were Bentham's fault - failing to punish Peacock/Senior harshly was.

I see robert hicks has got the very nice weekend away in the south of france, must have been gansons game before what happend at that hotel in haydock.

How many more times will Ganson be arrested before he gets the boot? This guy may be 'the best ref in RL' at the moment, but I can't see him keeping his job for long. Russell Smith and Karl Kirkpatrick and even Ashley Klein could do a better job without the need to make their own headlines.

'Cockle', ha haaa, it was you buying those tickets !!!!!!!!!!!
