Ganson needs his own show. He's too big a star for Super League. He'll be kicking Hull's winning drop goal at this rate.

I think Ganson has had a pretty decent game tbh.

Awesome game. Ganson MOM?

He's not afraid to make the big calls. Mostly right I think today, the penalty certainly was. Not sure on a few of the passes and their relative directions however.

He just kicked your winning kick and acted as your edge defense instead.

Shrek wouldn't have stopped Roby even without the dummy run straight off the training ground.

That doesn't happen. Otherwise the whistle wouldn't have a pea.

As I said on the FC board: if Hull's players were watching the ref put his whistle to his mouth, then they deserve a slap. They should be watching the opposition.

"Play to the whistle" is drummed into five year olds. That means listen for the whistle being blown, don't watch what the referee is doing with it.

Ganson had an excellent game. To suggest either that his putting his whistle to his mouth affected the defence, all of whom had their backs to him, is so ludicrous it's actually bloody funny.

Why not?

Players do it all the time!!!

Loads in the fax-bratfut game - Bradfords second try was a mile forward, with the linesman and ref on hand, and neither gave it. L'Estrange is throwing loads of short ones from dummy half.

It seems certain refs didn't get the rl memo.

Finally, as I type, he's given one!

All had their backs to him? Really? They stopped when they saw he had the whistle in his mouth, as you'd expect. In an atmosphere like that, you can't always hear the whistle, and players are tought to scan their environment, including the ref. He shouldn't have done it.

Of which they're accountable for. Are refs?
