No, at full speed I completely missed it. But Ganson saw it &, IIRC, asked the VR if there was clear contact with the head (I am sure someone has the tape & can say exactly what he said). I have nowhere said the VR had no inlfuence. I have repeatedly said Ganson would have sent him off if there was no VR & as it was there why not use it.

He asked if there was contact with the head. Meaning he was not sure. So without the VR he would have been on report.
I am not disputing the use of the technology at all, but it's never used for that is it? Not until now anyway.

I've definitely heard the referee check with the video ref if an offence is worthy of a red card before Sun.

You said I was mad when I first joined to suggest the referees were out to get us

Yes and one of those games was at Castleford and the referee in question was Steve Ganson asking video referee David Campbell "if it was serious" to Ganson said "ok so it's serious" cue the red card and Castleford down to twelve men.

It's an utter disgrace. Okay he was fouled but it was not malicious purely instictive. It was a penalty full stop. Problem is that Ratboy was knocked out and according to Statler & Waldorf on Sky, he is the greatest player in the game bar none. That fact alone meant GR was doomed from the start. The video refs should not be allowed to watch the replay in slow motion, it distorts the reality. Eddie and Stevo are now influencing the referees.

Hardly suprising.... Day they know what day it was?

VR was used when Andy Coley was sent off at Catalans last year apparently. Seems it has happened before i have been very reliably informed. The tackle was reckless, thats enough to warrant the punbishment under the rules, end of. Incidently, Sam got a ban earlier in the season when he was 3rd or 4th man into a bit of biff, so he gets targetted by the refs too.

Instinctive is when someone changes direction & a player shoots his arm out & invariably catches the other player high. No way was Raynor's tackle instinctive, whether he was aiming for the head or arm is a different matter. The next time Ryan Bailey swings his arm across an opposing players chest to dislodge or clamp the ball, misses completely & knocks the player unconscious I am sure you will all support his defence it was an accident, he shouldn't be sent off or banned.

Now we have established Ganson, the RFL & Al Qaeda had not hatched another secret plan & trialled it on the Bulls you will all be eating humble pie & apologising?

It's Cummings plan not Gansons

Since no-one alleged Al Qaeda was involved, the question is academic.

Meh, the inference is there for all to see.

Indeed it is.

You clearly implied we all blamed Al Qaeda for the sending off. For shame, sir.

You really need to stop getting all your news in ilkley just from the Daily Telegraph, and instead keep a bit more up to date with world affairs in the 21st century.

I thought TT is a Mail reader?
