Phil Bentham (born 28 October 1971) is Head of Match Officials at the RFL and a former Premier League football VAR coach. Bentham was an English professional rugby league referee and video referee. He was one of the Rugby Football League's full-time match officials since the role's inception in 2007. Bentham was referee in seven major finals and video referee in nine major finals.[2]

Background

Bentham was born in Leigh, Lancashire, England.

Major finals

Bentham was referee for both the 2011 and 2014 Super League grand finals. He was also the video referee in the 2009, 2012, 2015, and 2017 Super League grand finals.

He was the touch judge in the 2005 Challenge Cup Final. He was the referee in the 2011, 2013, 2014. and 2017 Challenge Cup finals. Bentham was the video referee for the 2007, 2009, and 2012 Challenge Cup finals.

International

Injuries

On 4 May 2012, Bentham was refereeing the Super League clash between Wigan Warriors and Hull Kingston Rovers at the DW Stadium live on Sky Sports, when he collided during an off-the-ball incident with Rovers' Shannon McDonnell after 17 minutes, and suffered a fractured tibia. He was given oxygen while being carried off on a stretcher whilst being applauded from the crowds and was taken to the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan; touch judge Robert Hicks took over as referee, and Andrew Smith the reserve official took Hicks' place on the line. Wigan went on to win 36–22.[11] Bentham returned to full on-field duties at the start of 2013 Super League Season.

On 16 May 2015, Bentham was refereeing Leeds Rhinos versus Huddersfield Giants at Headingley Carnegie Stadium live on BBC when he did not return after the half time interval due to a hamstring injury. Touch Judge Jonathan Roberts replaced Bentham in the middle as he was the most senior referee having experience in the Championship and League 1 competitions. Reserve Official Phil Graham took Roberts' place on the line. Leeds went on to win 48–16.[12]

On 16 February 2018, Bentham was refereeing Widnes Vikings versus Warrington Wolves at the Halton Stadium live on Sky Sports when Chris Houston collided with him causing him to hit the ground heavily, landing on his back and the 'ref cam' equipment. Bentham had to leave the field due to his injuries. Touch judge Scott Mikalauskas took over as referee, and Marcus Griffiths the Reserve Official took Mikalauskas' place on the line. Mikalauskas placed the collision between Bentham and Houston on report and Houston was subsequently banned for two matches. In the same fixture in 2017, also televised on Sky Sports, Bentham was the referee and Houston knocked him over in that fixture but was found not guilty by an Independent Rules Tribunal. Bentham has not refereed since this incident and it is doubtful he will return to the field due to slipping a disc in his neck.
