Mr S Ganson. Your thoughts people..

Oh Great. I could have bet it was him or Thaler before I'd clicked on the message.

Cue shouts of 'Why did he give that?' and bemused looks from players and fans alike.

There is one bonus though, it isn't televised so he's not going to hand every major decision upstairs to the VR.

He's fine. The ref shouldn't even come into the equation against Celtic. No disrespect to them intended but if we can't beat them whoever the ref is we're finished! Apart from which, he was the best ref last season anyway...

The best ref in the competition.

The refs haven't really been an issue this year, IMO. Unlike last - when they penalised us out of the game by half time against both Wire and Saints.

Any misfortune we've suffered this year, we've brought on ourselves through ineptitude of that spectacular Wigan variety.

I dont want to sound like a hypicrate and knocking your fans but how many you bringing on a nice sunny afternoon at wigan.

We moan about Wigan not turning up, so it's good to see the RFL have organised an official.

By a bloody long way.

Doesn't that say something about the state of super league refs

Not really.

He's been the best ref for a number of years in my opinion. I can't think of one of our games he's been ref that I've had a problem with how he's handled the match.

No that's Thaler

Anyone but Bentham.

Never used to like him, but as others have said he is the best ref in SL.

Would rather have him than any of the others.

Never thought I'd see the day when Wigan would be happy to have Ganson as ref.
Must admit though he is probably the best at the moment.
