Talking .

It was his team, coached by him who were spoiling at the play the ball and slowing everything down with Cameron Smith being a master at this.

Only the ref can stop the spoiling tactics though

Him and Kearney are making it sound like we play it that slow!!

I agree but Smith is a master at it and Aus were the worst culprit but Sheens is making out it was his team who were hard done to.

It doesnt matter. Benthem allowed it to happen and shouldnt of. Poor refereeing. No different from a football ref who allows constant fouling. Benthem should of blew the whistle early and it would of stopped.

Bentham lost the plot tonight... He decided to just let them do it.

Very poor display of authority.

Australian tactics - slag off the ref this week so that next week the ref is scared to give any decisions against them - Bentham was scared of it this week and you can expect more of the same at wembley

Yet everyone slated Ganson for 'blowing up for it' and when it didn't stop, and he continued, he ruined the game. It's a very fine line for the officials.

My thoughts exactly.

Effectively 90% of people are happy to repeat whatever Hemmings and Stephenson tell them. There was nothing wrong with the PTB speed tonight, it made for a good game rather than a scootfest.

Sheens is a , but then he's an Australian.

It was a poor game not helped by the officiating. I was shocked to see how much slower the play the balls where tonight when compared to what we see every week in the nrl. But, ultimately it's down to the official to stamp it out and not let them slow the game down. He didn't do that at all tonight and I actually felt at times that it was even slower than an average sl game which was disappointing. Typical of the aussies to make a big deal over the reffing, but when they are used to playing the game so much faster it must be frustrating.

Awwww bless did someone stop the Aussies playing their own game? A disgrace.

God he does moan don't he. I remember last year him moaning about "garbage tactic" His team were the worst tonight, but Bentham should have stopped it.
