I thought the problem with that was that Ganson listened to the Video ref when he shouldn't have and awarded the penalty. One that in fact was incorrrect too!

If anything we should applaud everyone's favourite Jade goody lookalike for chasing after a lost cause (even if he did start in an offside position).

Wasn't the ref Ashley Klein with Ganson as VR.

Other way round, really takes the pi$$ that he looked at both touch judges before awarding the try

Ganson was fooled by Klown, and while he shouldn't have been taking illicit advice from the VR, he was on the QT not as a one-off but because despite the loose "rules", that was how they all worked it.

The bitter pill for me was that it never looked like a knock-on by Harris even live, something odd happened but nothing you could be confident WAS DEFINITELY a knock-on - yet Klown took it upon himself to claim he had seen a definite thing which we now now never happened. At such a critical point in the biggest game. And to bark that down Ganson's earpiece.

I can't blame Ganson for listening. After all, he would be sure that Klown wouldn't depart from protocol unless he was certain Ganson had missed a key event. Having had the illicit call - what would YOU have done if you were Ganson - ignore it, and knowingly let the "offending" team benefit? I don't think many would.

I have no clue how neither Ganson nor the self-styled Hawkeye Klown never saw Tansey run offside. And I have no idea even if they didn't see it, why the thought didn't at least occur to Ganson that one explanation for Tansey being a furlong down the field might just be he was offside. Before and since, they ask the VR to "just check the onside and grounding" as a matter of routine if there is even a chance of offside and yet in that key moment, Ganson chose not to. That's what I was sed off with him about.

But at least Ganson had the balls to apologise for the farrago. The arrogant Klown never did.

I have no clue either but what I do know and we can all be sure of is that Jordan Tansey is a dead ringer for Jade Goody:



Jordan Tansey



Jade Goody

Did we end up getting the 2 points back from Leeds after Peter Hood asked for them

Yes. After we went bust, I bought them off the liquidator, for £1.50 and I keep them in a box in the loft. You never know when they might come in.

Random Useless Fact - Tomorrow is the first time we have played in October for 9 years!

Thought it might have been 10 and the 2005 GF but apparently the game where Hull FC beat us in the SL semi was in October. I know we reached the playoffs a couple more times, but you forget what it is like for the end of the season to mean something!

Was that the 70-0 game??

If so, probably right to say 10 years!

Been a long time since I've been as nervous before a game. And yet, part of me knows that win, lose or draw its irrelevant really.

Just 3yrs ago we nearly lost the club we all love. Its amazing to think back to then and how far we have developed since. Its been twists and turns but the last 18months with Marc Green have been some of the most enjoyable moments I've had.

A Super League return would be amazing as it would be a return to the league I do believe that we deserve to be in. However, I'm more happy to just watch us in any league after the recent experiences.

So really, all I want is to see the guys that take to the field give their all. If they do that and we lose I'll still be happy!!!

COYB

No, we lost 19-12 at the KC IIRC.

The 70-0 game was the first after Omar Khan took over.

Yeah, the game I was referring to was the one at the KC - whichever side won that got to the GF - FC won and appeared in their only Grand Final so far the following week. I believe that year we had ended their reign as cup holders and they then ended our reign as champions so nice bit of symmetry there.

I believe the 70-0 in question was when we thumped them in the playoffs at Odsal in 2005, rather than the game OK was in charge for.

Ah, yes I remember. Thought you meant the one where we lost.

The one where we thumped Hull was when Stephen Kearney got sent off right?

Just a quick reminder that KO tomorrow is 2:50, not 3pm.

In the semi, we scored a perfectly good try (karl Pryce I think) and the touchy put his flag up. TV showed he was inside the line.

Anyone got any parking recommendations?

Either the superbowl car park at the ground or the Hepworth Art Gallery car park which is a 5 minute walk from the ground

Thanks

mystic eddie and his family are all parked in the super bowl car park, once you've gone over Chantry bridge take the left fork on donny road then first right up sugar lane, you would be better off going on Barnsley Rd right at the fork and park anywhere on the left past the bus depot

Just seen team sheet. Nielsen at centre and Blythe on the wing. Surprise inclusion of Baile on the bench although he played ok against Halifax and does have utility value. I find it difficult to understand why he hasn't featured for ages if Jimmy rates him highly enough to take Ryan's spot.

Really hope not having a specialist winger doesn't come back to haunt us. I'm sure he'll be targeted.

Anyway, signing out now to watch the game. Good luck to all involved at the Bulls.

Bad decision to go for 2 instead of touch.

Hope Silverwood gets a ban after breaking the rules regarding this decision.

The end result was the correct decision, but yeah he wasn't allowed to do that and should have just had the conviction to go with his initial thought.

very good effort

Love silverwoods attempt to win game for yous makes our victory better
