As a 'neutral' in the 'away' end last night, I totally concur with the majority of the postings here. Ganson 'killed' the game off in the first 15 minutes. Yes Wire played well and were going to win ... but Ganson was strutting around like a peacock ... and looked like he was trying to gain respect of the players by the use of the whistle and not through 'on pitch presence'

Either all the Ref's have been told to re-interpret the rules in the manner Ganson did .... or he really is a %$&*($

.. and credit to the Huddrsfield fans who did there best to cheer Ganson up by singing at him most of the game ... priceless !

What he said, I honestly don't think I have ever switched a game off because of the ref................

maybe we should nickname him robbie williams, - he who wants to be centre of attention.
Last Firdays game against Hull was also a disgrace, especially that 1st try from Watkins, in which section of the rule book does it say a man can make a tackle for 15mins and then steal the ball from him?
Ganson should leave the British Isle

I can't believe Ryan Watkins was allowed to drive the player back and then take the ball, what a joke that is.

and where does it say that in the rule book?

Every week players are pushed to the sideline by multiple defenders and an attacking player joins to try and stop it but play isn't stopped. Same applied here, and Atkins had the sense to pinch the ball and jog in for the score.

Your forum name and your location suggests you were far from being a "neutral". You don't need to pretend mate.

Speaking of appalling officiating, the in charge of the Saints - Wigan game is only seeing things one way. Utterly corrupt or utterly incompetent. Take your pick.

Phil Bentham you bent prick.

11-7 the penalty count in your favour.

Why is he bent? Because you got beat by the better team?

Suck it up and take it on the chin, you lost. You'll still be in the mix. You are not the champions for nothing.

Well the first 10-20minutes he didn't want to blow at all. After that it was reasonable other than wellens should have walked for his professional foul.

Not an argument, merely a discussion. However, I did not say what you said. I said decisions in rugby league do not even themselves up because they do not follow the laws of probability. If a referee makes 500 erroneous call during Wigan matches in his career, the calls could be 400/100 in favour of Wigan or 150/350 against Wigan. However with a 'fair' coin those results would never happen. Try it.
