I see Silverwood is the latest to be involved in some off field antics, and has been suspended. Should these people be in responsible positions at all?

There's only Silverwood who has been found guilty of any off field antics in recent times

yes, the lady who was gunning for Ganson's head on a stick, mysteriously, dropped the charges... and nobody ever found out why....

Probably because it's no one elses business.

maybe cos' he was innocent ?

for the sake of a rugby league lets hope Ganson cuts out the total crap tactics from both sides at the play of the ball,

The video is priceless

Commentator "Here come Manly - WAIT FOR THE NOISE! (silence) well, not like grand final day, is it?"

I'd say all of them because the teams walk out together

Interesting comments from Nathan Brown about Ganson"Steve Ganson obviously got the game wrong the other day. I'm sure he's aware of that. That certainly wasn't how the game has been refereed this year but it's happened now and I've been assured by Stuart Cummings that it will be refereed the correct way this week. That's what you want, a good fair contest."'"

Nathan Brown has an assurance that the Giants game will be refereed in the correct way this week, maybe because the referee is not Ganson.

Ganson is running our game and we don`t have any such assurances about it being run in the correct way!!

Or am I being a little bit paranoid?

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.
