St Helens v Harlequins RL 8pm
Ref S Ganson TJ P Brooke TJ D Griffiths IG G Towey IG S Tordoff RR R Cowling MC P Taberner.

Makes my mind up. Was trying to angle an "appointment" on Friday afternoon in the St Helens area......won't bother now!

Failure is a Wakey lad, Ganson a Saints Lad and we even got the frenchie when we played Les Catalans......what is going on?

Ganson is ok when reffing Saints, his "odd" decisions are usually evened out.

Don't get all this whinging about where ref's come from and why we should not be reffed by them, Catalans [a French side] get reffed by English refs nearly every week when the halibut isn't down for them, do they whinge? Celtic get reffed by English or French refs every single game, do they whinge?

It's not as if we have an unlimited supply of refs to pick and choose from is it.

Just find it odd that Harlequins Rugby League are the only team to be reffed by halibut against the French, Failure against his home town and now Ganson against his home town..........
Don't let reasoned argument get in the way of a decent conspiracy theory.

I agree with the both of you.
This whole who's the ref stuff has never bothered me but when you get three homer refs from four games it does stink.
How many pro refs are there? cuz even if it was just blind luck thats something like 216 to 1

Quins in 4th thats why, you watch we will have Thaler when we go to wakefield again.

Just think of the uproar in a couple of Years time to a cockney ref reffing Us at the stoop

it didnt do us any good at murrayfield against the pies when he was reffing.
........... ......

no i think its just bizare that when we play wakey we have thaler and now we play saints and we have ganson i cant see the same happening elsewhere .............. can you?

what gets me is all the choices cummings has to send the refs to different games ..and he sends a st,helens ref to knowsley rd...

No to be honest

For God's sake, this is ridiculous. What other sport would appoint a home town referee? It puts unneccessary extra pressure on the ref as well - Saints fans will look out for Ganson giving us extra decisions to prove he isn't a "home ref" and any 50/50 call that goes Saints way will see him "prove" that he is favouring St Helens.

What are you lot whinging about? If Ganson didn't fix it for us to beat Wigan in Scotland, which he clearly didn't since we lost, he's hardly going to fix it for us to beat you, is he?

And besides, on Friday we will have both our wingers missing, one makeshift centre, two of our props missing and almost all our young recruits who were supposed to be there to step into the breach are injured. On top of that if Wilkin does return, which he is scheduled to do, it will be his first match back after injury. And on top of all that, because it's a makeshift team, no-one will know where anyone else is playing and it's likely our defence will be shot as a result.

So really, you have no excuse but to beat us!

Our gripe is not with the fans/clubs of Saints/wakey and les cats. Rfl would not have homer ref against anyone else or am I being paranoid

Forward pass. Could not believe the linesboy kept a straight face
