last year a try was wrongly awarded which cost hull the game. this year a try was wrongly awarded which cost hull kr the game. both were wrong decisions and should have been picked up. but the forward pass last year was so far forward it should also have been seen.
people seem to think its ok to win from a forward pass because theyre more commonly missed.
both are as bad as it changes the result

Ganson has always been a premadonna. Enough is enough. #sackganson

That try didn't win the game last year though. Hodgson still needed to score his to win. This year was not a mistake. It was purely vindictive and gave them the result.

What kind of review are you suggesting? We will always have human error, the introduction of video referees was to eradicate the glaring errors from the man in the middle.

How ironic with all the camera angles available to the viewer that the game is decided by the video ref.

I am never usually over critical of officials. The ref and touch judges have a challenging role and have to make lots of contentious decision which are open to interpretation. Video refs have lots of calls which are far from black and white. Sometimes decisions go in your teams favour, sometimes they dont.

However the decision tonight was inexcusable. Incompetence beyond belief. This was basic stuff, blatantly offside. Ganson has always been controversial but he has shown himself up tonight.

on the field it can be easy for refs to miss forward pass/offside as they are at ground level and the game moves fast, but with video ref it should be much easier, and with the centre line to use as a guide it was an horrendous decision

Yep. If the on-field ref had missed a player being a metre or 2 offside then I think you've just got to accept it as one of those things. With the video ref its inexcusable.

Not seen it as we were too far from the screens at the ground to see properly, but if he has screwed up there's a big issue to be sorted out.

As a Hull fan, I think "hahahahahahahaha" and am just enjoying looking at the table.

He has screwed up, big time! The governing body have admitted it & the official, through the RFL, has admitted it. The wrong call was made & therefore, in the case of this game, the wrong result was reached as a result of the officials error.

I refer you to my last sentence

As a Leeds fan I felt the same in 2007, when the same official made an error which also brought about the wrong result at the end of the game. However, that time Mr Ganson made the mistake of not deferring to the video ref for a decision & made the decision himself. The subsequent video replays proved that he had made an incorrect call in not doing so... but this situation was far worse & a much bigger error!

Lets go back to 2007 and play out an alternative theoretical outcome!

Mr Ganson has doubts about Jordan Tansey being behind Kevin Sinfield when the penalty is taken in the dying seconds of the game, which of course resulted in Tansey regathering the ball from the missed kick & scoring the match winning try. He calls time off, puts the square-in-the-air & defers his decision to the video ref. What happens next? Well, the argument put forward at the time was that of course the video ref would clearly have seen, as the video replay angles proved, that Tansey was offside & the try disallowed. It was obvious! Well, that the theory!

So, in actual fact, this is where we got to today. Mr Thaler has doubts about whether the try scorer (and other Hull players chasing downfield) where on-side when the ball was kicked & defers his call to the video ref Mr Ganon. So, myself, everyone else watching the live game on Sky, the commentary team on Sky, Stuart Cummings, even the players on both sides watching the big screen, could see that the try scorer was in front of the kicker when the ball was kicked, he wasn't played on-side by the kicker as he was always behind him, Eden never touched the ball, meaning the try scorer could not get within 10m of the ball, never mind pick it up & score a try!

It was a huge error & one that should never have happened. This game, unlike in 2007 BTW, should be replayed to maintain the integrity of the game & the video ref system.
