He's relatively new to SL refereeing, I couldn't see anything he did wrong yesterday and no-one has mentioned anything.

I like to call it 'better educated.'
Bentham was OK. I'm a little uneasy about this new interpretation of the "tackling into touch" ruling, if I can call it that. If just lending weight to help your man being tackled is not enough and you have to stop momentum, there's a worry those situations could end up a bit like a yawnion rolling maul, which would be a worry.
I drove home after match - through rain. sleet, hail and snow - with a big smile on my face. Rugby at least, met up with our mates, had a good shout and saw a lot of good things in our side's perforamnce. Once we iron out the wrinkles and get the defence close to the line a bit better organised we'll be reet, I think.
The tackling was very strong - players generally looked to have put muscle on - Leuluai looked sharp and also strong in defence, Gaz Hock is even more of a monster than he was last year, Lockers looked creative at stand-off though it will not be his usual role and the rest did fairly OK. Only Ashton had a downright bad 'un but it's just our first full-contact game, so let's keep it all in perspective.
