Ganson was at the same place as the incident - but he wasn't involved.

The police were investigating, Ganson was a witness and the RFL had to suspend him due to that.

The RFL made it worse by not issuing a proper statement but I think you'll find, Ganson didn't beat up any old women

I never ever want to be a witness.

On the radio last Thursday Ganso was talking about taking charge of the first play-off game and said something like, "i have to set a standard for the rest of the play-offs in this game."
He must have been instructed by Cummings to penalise liberally to send a message to the players. Spectators can always tell when refs are under special instructions and the players don't seem to have been informed.

who is nathan brown to say the game is refereed the correct way surely he means the way in which his team will give away the least penalties.

i think the players have to make sure they don't give ganson any reason to penalise them, then the referee has no bearing on the outcome

some common sense at last...

I'd rather have SG stopping the game every 2 minutes than Bentham only spotting 1 out of every 73 non-square markers at the PTB.

The latter simply smothers any attacking play and is like watching Bob Blackwood, Terry Hollingsworth et al all over again.
