Ferres had to go fair enough but that was a drop goal no doubt about it.

There is doubt about it. On some angles it looks good, on other angles it looks to have missed. I'm not sure that a VR would have actually been able to properly rule on it.

''you robbing f*cking b*stards'' could clearly be seen being shouted by brough, and you don't need to be a lip reader to see it either.

When it doesn't go between the sticks.

YOU WENT TOP THE VR FOR EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO DENY The GIants the game.

When you should have gone to the VR for the drop goal you did not.

YOU are a cheat, cheat cheat.

The only people you should blame for Huddersfield's loss are Brett Ferres for being sent off and your coaching team for coaching the team to hold down and interfere in every tackle.

Re: Phil Bentham cheat : Sun Apr 06, 2014 3:16 pm  

Huge injustice.

Saints were given numerous pens to march them down field. Brough's drop goal went over (why would he celebrate otherwise), Luke Walsh also says it went over. Why was there no pen at the end for the voluntary tackle? Why don't we just scrap that rule because it is never enforced.

The ref decided that game, not the players. A real shame considering the quality 79mins we watched only for it to be fixed by Bentham.

Ferres is the man to blame.

On the kick, looked good on one angle, looked like it slid by on the other. Ref can only give what he sees. Pretty sure the tech wizards at Sky could conclusively prove that either way.

Luke Walsh even said it was over.

Re: Bentham : Sun Apr 06, 2014 3:18 pm  

Absolute gash, his decision making in some instances were bordering on deliberate bias/agenda..
The thing is Smith can't even see when a ball goes completely backwards and calls it a knock on WTF? Hudds actually denied a clear try there in the first half.

As Dally ssays, fans are being turned away from the sport by this incompetence..

Pretty much every decision in the last 10 minutes went to Saints. Saints player gets up to play the ball but throws a punch instead, creating a melee, pen to Saints. Saints lose the ball in front of the posts, there's a hand in from Hudds like there is in 95% of plays, zero ball security from Saints, pen to Saints.

Nah. The only decision that he got wrong was the one under the sticks to level it up. The Walsh one was a clear pen, tackles him, humps him, then tries to steal the ball, all whilst denying Walsh a quick play the ball.
