reffed todays game superbly with his usual bit of wit..just hope he gets the cup final and the grand final...best ref by a mile today proved it

loved the stop kissing remark to morley and macilorum

Missed the blatant forward pass from Hodgson to Monas though

Let quite a few high tackles go in my book, best in the league by a country mile though.

+1

Have to say i though he was superb. The players know who is in charge with Ganson and they respect him. Plenty of referees could have lost control today. The kissing remark was worth the sky money alone

Best rugby league referee by a country mile. Still laugh whenever I think of Leeds in the play offs last year. Leeds player (forgotten who) " me!" Gans "speak to me like that again and I will!"

One of the last remaining blokes from the part time generation, let's all hope we have him again in two weeks time.

11 Wigan players were offside at an early potb; Gansen gives a scrum to Wigan for something (can't remember if it was a knock on or the ball kicked out) and says "Sean, I'll let you off with that one!" to O'Louchlin and winked at Briers. Lee was looking around as if to say 'what the funk?!'

Then missed a forward pass for Joel's try and saw him say something to Lee.

Other than that he was excellent.


Decent ref. such a tough job and he is one who does it well!

One swallow doesnt make a summer . He's a bent rubbish ref who loves been the centre of attention.

Please can you provide some evidence to back up your rather slanderous allegation that he is 'bent'?

I don't particularly like Ganson, he often seeks to make the game about him. But last night he was about as good as you can be in a game of that size and with so much niggle on either side.

Had a good game. He's not afraid to give it to the players who gob off. Good game.

Also seemed to miss quite a lot of that dirt merchant McIlorum's misdemeanour's.
