Most ridiculous ban ever. Becoming a common theme for Mr Bentham.

I’m not sure you can blame the collision on Phil Bentham.

You certainly can’t blame it on the player. Funny how Mr Bentham has these incidents more than all other referees put together. Something not quite right there.

Not sure you can blame it on the Widnes player either. In all seriousness, I think the referees need to be more aware of their surroundings and positions, same for both codes. Amount of times a player is having to move the ref or gets obstructed by them is ridiculous, as is this ban. I agree the refs needs protecting but every case needs judging on its own merits.

We are without Ah Van, Gerrard, Houston, Runciman,and Dudson, that's 5 first teamers.

I just thought I'd get our excuse in early!

I think you will find we will have a few more out than that plus factoring in the jet lag when some players only landed Monday might still tip it your way.
Like you say just getting our excuses in early too mate.

You forgot the plastic pitch

Leeds are also without their best player...Chris Houston! The guy is a penalty machine and an absolute liability whenever I watch him play. Shame he is banned.
