Bentham Ruled Out of SL GF

[cpwigan]

Surely his weak effort tonight = No SL GF Spot

No video referee for a no try that then became a try before the most comedic handling of a punch up (?) since French referee Julien Rascagneres! What is a player supposed to do become a punch bag?

CP, I am absolutely disgusted with the officiating I watched tonight!!

Can not go to the video referee for a try after the ball clears the ruck area.

Punch up is a joke its a straight red and 10 min for Eddy for retaliation. Bentham will be on holiday before October.

Gimble when it suits referees bend the VR rule using it for all manner of things. Getting decisions correct matters! In part we had ourselves to blame because our 1st half made Bentham important.

The second half was Bentham and solely Bentham for his mishaps. Thank God we played so well!

Pathetic tonight. Frightened to make what he knows is the correct call. Wouldn't have him reffing a darts match match never mind the grand final.

Eddy for retaliation? It was self defence, he only retaliated after the 4th punch!! If he didn't throw one back I would have took him off for not throwing one!!

I did not go tonight but even Cummins said he could not go for the knock on as the video ref can not judge them. Wether he could have done is another matter but he should not have done.

But the rule needs changing.

But its still retaliation. Eddy should have just laughed at him and told him he would break his other nut.

I suppose in the letter of the law it is but for me it was more self defence!!

Can someone post some details of the scrap that sounds as though Woods started and Pettybourne got involved in.
Was in Whitby and Scarborough today, and couldn't get to the match.
Thanks.
