It would be interesting to know the Leeds win/loss record with Bentham as the ref over recent seasons.
IIRC we had great results with him as ref initially, but it may now have changed.
I could of course be totally wrong but I'm sure that TVOC will provide us with the relevant info.
I wonder how long it will be until Thaler turns against us?'"
Phil Bentham: Complete with Leeds:
2006 - Won,
=#FF0000Lost, Won,
=#FF0000Lost, Won
2007 -
=#FF0000Lost,
=#FF0000Lost, Won,
=#800000Drew
2008 - Won,
=#FF0000Lost, Won, Won, Won, Won
2009 - Won,
=#FF0000Lost,
=#FF0000Lost, Won,
=#FF0000Lost, Won
2010 - Won,

2011 -

2012 - Won,

2013 - Won,
=#800000Drew
Played 36, Won 22 (61%),
=#800000Drew 3 (8%),
=#FF0000Lost 11 (31%)
(The 11 losses were as follows: St Helens 4, Wigan 3, Hull 2, Bradford 1, Castleford 1)
Leeds' record V All Teams with All Officials over the same period 2006 to 2013:
Played 248, Won 168 (68%), Drew 4 (2%), Lost 76 (31%)
The interesting thing to me from the above is that Bentham has officiated in 75% of Leeds' draws over the past complete 7 seasons (and a bit) and all three with Bentham were V Bradford. The shift in % with Bentham appears contained within the win transfer to draw column.
