Tbf mate he brought it on himself by chelping all the way through the 1st half so it was no surprise when he got the yellow warranted or otherwise!

persistent infringement and dissent

That would usually be after an official warning is issued, was there one?

this is a perfect example of what we get every year! gutted fans of other clubs use internationals to ease their end of season pain and frustration by slagging off other teams players and trollin these boards!! On this board we get the standard gf losers bitterness and the flock of general Leeds haters

Same sh*t different year!

maybe,don't know. does there have to be? if it's serious enough can't he bin him because he hasn't warned him?

IIRC he warned him in the first half to sort it out

Did the Thurston tackle on Smith merit a sin-binning? Was there a warning that the next infringement (no matter how petty) would be dealt with? Does a word in the first half carry over to the seventy first minute?

If not what was Ganson up to. Thurston had gotten under his skin and he used a nothing tackle to prove the point.

If Ganson gets the final we'll know about it (with justification) from the Aussies.

i'm not argueing about ganson,it was his chance to be star attraction again..
however how do we know he wasn't binned for dissent at the the Tj(again).

ganson let some far worse tackles go so i can't imagine it was for the tackle.

He deliberately slowed down a PTB from a poor tackle position when England were attacking near the Aussie line. That AND the cumulative back chat resulted in the yellow.
Last week you were chelping that Ganson was never fair to GB or England. I think there is a certain personal bias of your own involved here ( ), because most everyone else would not have been surprised Ganson yellow carded a player who had gobbed off at him all the game for a relatively minor offence.

yes

Yes. I heard it on the recording when I got home from the match. Ganson was clear in his warning to Thurston, who was a pain in the backside and fully deserved his sin binning.

pssst ....obsessed..

Agreed. I was a little embarrassed by the piggy backs Ganson gave us in the 2nd half.

The Sin Binning was ludicrous and evidence of Gansons' worst aspect of refereeing coming to the surface. "I don't like you and I will show you who is boss".

McGuire should be dropped, he was awful yesterday, but Sinfield was one of our best players, particularly when he was at hooker, so dunno what that guy was on about. Eastmond and Tomkins should be in the halves as they are the future for England, and was impressed with them both yesterday.

Whats the opinion of Leeds fans on Lee Smith? Do you think he should be in the team? Personally i dont think he should as he is not going to be in the team for the forseable future, and if T.Smith is building for the future it seems a bit stupid to include him in the team. Having said that our outside backs are so bad he doesnt really have too much choice in who he picks.
