I watched the Ablett elbow thing again, the Saints player was running at him, he stuck his arm infront of his face, and from first viewing it looked like he elbowed him but watching the replays you could see it a lot better. Bit harsh.

In reality this is all the officials had to go on, so clearly they saw it the same as you.

Having watched the replay, it was something of nothing, but Bentham stayed consistant on how he awarded penalties in such situations.

You're right he gave them to Saints!

No need to there, it appeared an astute observation, when in doubt penalty to Leeds' opposition.

Just didn't want it to appear that I was blaming the ref for the defeat. Out of interest do you keep a breakdown of when the penalties were awarded in the game? We seemed to get a lot of ours late on.

I don't but basically it appeared that Leeds got the majority of theirs in short burst of three (one after the other) twice during the game. Whereas St Helens got theirs individually and just when they needed them most. Just in case.

What an absolute Joke, Burgess is banned but Greenshields gets no ban he nearly decapitated Halley. The RFL disciplinary panel is a farce.
