Absolutely laughable refereeing. If he'd called what he saw he would have got it right, if he'd called what he saw and he'd seen McGuire knock on then fair enough. But to go to such a huge amount of trouble to get the wrong decision was hilarious.

What I couldn't understand was that having given a warning (to both sides?) in the 1st half why did Silverwood not bin someone when offences continued in the second?
Does half time nullify previous warnings?
Can Silverwood only remember things for 5 minutes?
Were the offences different & therefore not covered by previous warnings?

Towards the end when it was clear that there was insufficient time left for the Dragons to win I was very worried that they would simply knock as many of the Rhinos team out of the Grand Final as they could.
Especially Casey McGuire who seemed to lose it big style.

Saints!!!

Beating Saints in the GF will prove that we can not only beat our rivals again, but prove we can beat the next top team to us under pressure.

And yes when I die, I will be at the gates of Valhalla

wheres the "other" choice?

Either way it's going to be tremendously tough.

Theres a reason no ones won 3 super league gf's on the bounce before.

Can't ever remember beating wigan in a final though, just a whole bunch of defeats in the early 90's and before that I don't know.

I feel like nobby and wigan will have our number on neutral territory, so i'll go with saints.

I've been ambivalent about it but St Helens supporting referee Steve Ganson (from St Helens) who is refereeing St Helens's game tonight has just given two very ropey decisons to penalise Wigan and the second of these gave the posession for a try to put them back in front.

Despite Ganson's occasional 'look at me' ego matches I do think he's the best referee we have. I'm happy that he's just made a couple of uncharacteristic errors but it doesn't [ilook [/igood.

I hope either Wigan go on to win or St Helens will go on to win comfortably so referring decisons can't be seen to have influenced the outcome unduly.

In the build up to Saints 2nd try the offside decision was wrong and the pass from Long that went along the ground was forward.

You must see in 3D passovision because I couldnt tell in the real world and the video evidence was inconclusive.

I don't like you, your posts irritate me and smack of being a pecker head of the highest order, please don't reply to me, I have no intention of discussing anything with you again.

It’s call ‘Panoramic vision’ – all Wigan fans (bog-brushers) stood on the Western Terrace also have it.

I thought it was forward as well. It was the way the ball went forward that gave it away.

I wasn't sure from the angles we got to view. Jones-Buchanan to Hall on the other hand.

I didn't think it was forward. Not in the initial pass, it bounced then went forward.
