Any thoughts on what might have happened had Huddersfield got first possession and the first penalty?

I'm going for a 47-0 Wire victory.

Oh I have no doubt that Wire would have won by a handsome margin, but not by as much and the Giants would have scored too.

The one "good" thing is Ganson didn't effect te result for once. But he totally destroyed it as a contest from minute one.

And in no way did he ref both teams evenly.

But Huddersfield did get first possession and were awarded the game's first penalty for a high shot. So you can understand my confusion.

Indeed, for a high shot. He ignored the fact that every other tackle of the set Wire laid on.

As they did all game.

Ganson made it clear early on that he wouldn't accept slowing and interference at the ptb; Huddersfield were guilty of that, so they got penalised.

For me, he had a good game - if they've finally decided to come down on the Wrestlemania tactics that certain Aussie coaches favour, that can only be a good thing; it may be a couple of seasons too late, but better late than never.

So I guess we'll never know how it would have panned out if Huddersfield had got first possession and won the first penalty.

Bizarre video ref decision from Steve.....not a great weekend for the officials!

Why wasnt he penalising Warrington for doing exactly the same thing?

Because they weren't doing it.

HTH.

People still whining about Ganson now?

No, didn't think so..........

yeah, it's one style when it suits wire, and one when it suits wigan.

This performance is arguably more laughable than his last effort, owing to the fact someone has obviously had a word and told him not to penalise anything. Blatant offences ignored all over the place by both sides. The play the ball is a complete mess.

yes. He has favoured the Wigan side already. He has missed quite a few 'penalties' against Wigan today. And as for Wigan - 'Road Kill' achieved.

Questionable to say the least there.

Wow, Ganson has disallowed a try for one reason, yet he would have disallowed it for another reason too.....
