I'm pretty sure he went onto Hull's board, when he retired from fixing games.

Bevan should have had a hattrick in that game v Hull. The one that springs to mind was Cullen using the knees when he made no contact whatsoever, and then Davies getting penalised a further 10 yards by Russell Smith for questioning him. We all know the consequences of that one.

I wait for Eamonn McSaddened to cite Robert Hicks, Wembley 2019. He should be along shortly.

Although most of these recollections will doubtless be for incidents that have gone against us, I do also remember one time when we played Leeds at Headingley, I think it was 1991, and the great Dessie Drummond dropped the ball from about three feet high whilst going over at the corner, only for the ref (can't remember who it was) to somehow award us a try!

Chris Joynt in the GF lol. Though tbh even then, how many voluntary tackles have ever, EVER been penalised?

How about the penalty against Andy Brachek in 2005 I wanna say, against Saints when we were up 16-4 with 10 mins to go. I believe it was for not playing the ball correctly, despite that thing happening all game every game for all of time. We all know how that ended.

Don't start the voluntary tackle stuff off again.

That wasn't even the most controversial one in Saints v Bradford games either. The knock on by Withers was. He still claims he didn't touch it. The video ref decision seemed to take about 9 days.

As a decision I can't say it was the worst ever, it was very tight and far more blatant ones have been given incorrectly than that. But another one we don't need to drag up again, especially given he's recently fessed up to it being a major error.

And the Hicks interview was treated with such maturity on Redvee.

I think I must have some in-built blood pressure protection reflex, I can only remember the previous balls up (Hi Liam).

The Russell Smith one stays with me though.

And I think one of the tries in the 80-0 Saints drubbing was a bit dubious. 74-0 feels better.

I was there for that game. It was absolutely shocking.

You sure it was 2005 as we played the Chemics 3 times that year and won all 3. The one at the Halton we won 25-24, Briers DG. That was Ian Smith who was the referee.

In the video ref era Ganson giving the try in the Hull Derby at magic weekend when the player was well off side. The RFL later apologised

No, ganson gave the try(quite arrogantly)in the Leeds game without even going to the VR. He was the video ref for the Hull Derby shambles.
