The look on Kylie's first said it all for me when he ruled a knock on(that never was!), just shows won,lose or draw we are never happen with them. I always get the impression with Alibert it's all too much for him, the mcshane/elima incident for example hardly a word said to either player.

Hate to say it, think Ganson is best of bad bunch this year

Agree with you on the Leuluai 'knock on' although he did fumble the ball in contact so I can also see where Alibert got a ruling from even though with the benefit of replays I didn't agree with the call.

Was the Platt one on the Bradford line where Webb shakes his head at the play the ball call? Alibert got that one spot on as Webb had instinctively placed both hands on the grounded player effecting the tackle. Realising he wanted Platt to get up he moves his hands away but it was too late.



Yes that was a terrible call. Nothing more to add on that one.

However I was impressed when he gave Leeds the penalty for the Ah Van obstruction (and the lead for the first time) on Jones-Buchanan which I had completely missed the first time around and had called a penalty against Leeds. Hardly a 'home call' decision that one.

Just watching the Wigan v Saints game back and exactly the same thing happens about half an hour in.

Carmont went to ground with Wilkin hovering over him, Wilkni then put a hand on Carmont’s shoulder while he had the ball grounded effecting the tackle. Carmont then played he ball and Silverwood pinged him for a voluntary tackle.

But Silverwood did shout play on, don't know what, if anything, Alibert shouted.

Yes noticed that one from Friday myself.

For me, Alibert 1 Silverwood 0

We'll be expecting consistency between referees next.

I note we had a classic piece of nonsense from everyone's favourite Mr Ganson on Friday at Wrexham. Crusader player cops a suspicous looking raised forearm while takling a Huddersfield for'rad. Crusader player (Witt?) has a word with Ganson .... Ganson penalises Crusader player (presumably for bringing news of potential foul play to his attention) .... Crusader player has another word ..... Ganson's whips out the yellow card quick as a flash.

Lesson of this story, next time you feel you've been fouled (and Ganson's missed it/doesn't agree) .... keep it to yourself.

The referee may not always be right but he's always the referee.
