Couldn't give a monkeys mate.

I'll concentrate on the final now.

Personally I didn't think it was a try. Similar to the one disallowed against Hull. Although after he looked at the grounding 3 or 4 times I thought it was going to be given.

And he took his son to the game. Just looks so unprofessional. His son wearing a Saints shirt and him wearing a suit and RFL tie going to the stadium together.

will there be an expenses claim for travel?

Bribes are only required if the ref doesn't already want the team to win.

You just knew every 50/50 would go Saints way..makes our game look silly TBH..he should never have got the gig..

he didnt obstruct him as Lomax tried to tackle but was stepped....

My Dad used to be a ref in north west counties leagues when Ganson was coming through. Ganson told my Dad he hates Wigan and if he ever to to ref them he would make sure every 50/50 decision went against them. I think he's an honourable man cuz he sure kept his word today! Wembley here we come!!

Agree with all the above. Ganson does seem to be biased aginst Wigan and very rarely if ever gives Wigan the benefit of the doubt in any 50/50 call in close or important games.

I mentioned this to my daughter before Saturday's game and was again proved right - it would have been interesting to see the decision he would have made if Saints had "scored" a similar try with a suspicion of obstruction. He gave them a couple of very dubious tries last season (one shocker against Salford iirc). Both calls when the ball went dead went Saints way

It should not be forgotten that Ganson was the ref when Wigan lost both CC semi - finals in 2007 and 2009. True, we underperformed in both, but particularly against Catalans he missed a blatant knock on from them in the first couple of minutes and then caned us for penalties which gave Catalans the momentum to dominate the game early doors. and thus set the all imporatnt pattern to a game. He was also the ref when Wigan lost play off games against Leeds in 2007 and 2008 and against Saints in 2009 ( remember Longy dragging Joel into touch when the tackle was completed a couple of minutes before the end of the game?) and he was the VR when Wigan lost against Leeds in the CC last year. He made a "howler" just before half time when he chose to ignore Lee Smith's initial knock on and gave Leeds the scrum. Instead of a Wigan attacking scrum 10 metres out, Leeds got the head and feed and then went upfield to get an equalising penalty.

Without seeming to be paranoid is there a pattern emerging....?!

True, Wigan won against Hull and Castleford this season but were made to struggle in both games. Guess who was the ref?!

I'm just praying he isn't involved in any way at Wembley...!

The fact remains a Saints member should never be allowed to officiate in any way in a Saints game - there was no need at all for this as only 2 games were played last weekend. The fault thus lies ultimately with Stuart Cummings.

Yeah 33p per mile

I've spoken to Gans many times and he makes it clear that he hates Wigan
