I've said for years that the touchjudge should officiate the offside at the PTB. The ref would then be able to focus solely on the tackle & ruck without thinking, "I have to run back quick to set the defensive line offside". Also, only having to look one way across a line, the TJ could see much more easily whether there were any transgressors.

No arguments here. Bentham is truly shocking when teams are defending close to the line. He has a habit of turning to face one touchline which allows players behind him to walk yards offside and never been seen.

Today was a total fiasco. I've never seen a defensive line managed so ineptly.

You idiot; it is because he gave four consecutive penalties without taking any action the Saints fans are complaining. There should have been a yellow card. wiginers = nitwits.

The standard of refereeing in SL is a joke.

Having said that, I had the misfortune of sitting in your main stand today and had to listen to Saints fans whinging about not getting the rub of the green from the referees, cheating Wigan etc etc

They went very quiet when I pointed to the big screen, which appeared to show Soliola failed to ground the ball for his "try".... an incident which the referee felt he didn't need the VR's help with...

He gave 3 penalties in a row for off side, then called finch out to warn him about off sides.

The next penalty was not for off side.

The next time we got the ball, he decided off sides weren't important anymore and didn't even look at your line.

I was surprised that Hughes wasn't binned. It was clearly a professional foul and stopped Roby scoring a certain try.

What made it worse was that he sin-binned Shenton for a similar professional foul

Thought he did an excellent job. As it was a tv game his role is only to make sure there's only one try in it up to the 65 minute mark to keep the viewing figures up

Did well when he gave us all those pens and the Soliola non try to get us back to 12-10, must have seemed a very exciting game on sky at that stage
