Wrong choice, Bentham has been the best ref this season

Silverwood was the best ref was had a few seasons ago, which was why he was called up to ref the Aus vs Kiwi game however he has be dire this season and his performance in the Wire Hudds game was nothing shy of shameful

hope he cant get away with the Pro wire stance this week

A poor choice. His form has nosedived since a couple of seasons ago.

Watch out for that Video Ref as well.

After watching his display last weekend we should be in a position to take advantage of his refereeing style, this will include slowing the PTB down (a big bonus against Warrington as they have a number of players who are adept at this) and limit the scoots from dummy half. Secondly, there is no need to retreat the full ten and therefore we can limit their passing options.

If we are good enough we will win with or without the aid of the official. I am just hoping that his decisions are consistent.

Heard RFL & Leeds not happy with Bentham's performance at Wigan where he gave a scrum to us on the Leeds line, after Hansen knocked the ball out from Joel Moon by the corner flag following his break.

H went for the man not the ball, so no knock on IMO
