Quote: Grimmy "It changed for Ganson as Saints kept making the final which ruled him (the best ref at the time) out of contention. They changed it and he reffed Saints in a final (which they lost).
You either accept they're impartial or you don't. If he's the best ref he should ref the final. Even if you do think they're biased, you could easily end up next season making the accusation that he's trying to ensure Wigan didn't make the final so that he could ref it.'"
I agree he is the best ref and by a distance. We also don't doubt players integrities when they play against teams they supported as a lad so why should we doubt refs. I get that 100%
However as I said, given the comments from Gausch after the 2021 GF then there could be a lot of controversy if there are any controversial decisions.
Lets hope no-one notices the ref and he has little influence on the result.
