you introduced the sarcasm sunshine. Close the door on your way out.

Did you see Ganson take Sinfield to one side explain your run on pens explain next one was in the bin! Then 5 mins later you give a pen away and low and behold no binning!!!

Mr Ganson Bottled it , fact ! he had told Ablett he was offside and not to make a challenge so when he made connection automatic penalty , but the man led with his elbow at head height and not even a yellow , ganson must have seen enough to give him ten , but saying that the RFL may have said it was punishment enough where as now he should face a ban .
as for Bailey , the man is a gormless idiot , he has no balls and there was intent when he led with the Knee , aweful , again ganson seen enough to put him on report so come on TEN minutes sit down . then , ok Wigan were warned for persistant foul play but he sent Coley for tackling burrow , ok a little late but nothing malicious about it .then when later on he warned Leeds they then within a couple of minutes gave away 3 penatlies and nothing was done . get out you Rule book Ganson or at least be consistant in what you are doing !

As the rules stand, the ref can't give a yellow card for foul play (other than fighting).

If I could choose one rule to change, that would be the one.

Much as I dislike wendyball, I think their system of red & yellow cards is a better one. Red card for serious foul play (like Ablett's), yellow for less serious ones (like Bailey's), and 2 yellows=red.

For not the first time I will say that the GF will be decided by a referee. 1999, 2002 and 2009 have been decided with bad referreeing decisions, and i think 2010 will be the same.

I have to say, as one who welcomed the selection of Ganson for this match, that I have been royally shown up.

That was a very shallow and disappointing display from a referee who previously I rated (at least as an individual with his own mind, if not as someone completely fair). It was as bad as anything I've seen from Bentham or Silverwood, and is really starting to beg the double-question: how do we get rid of this controller of referees, and who would we trust to replace him?

this is very simple

ganson

It gets worse every time i watch it. For me, the report system is a joke. Its only giving the ref an excuse poo out of a major decision.

I agree ganson normally is fair with sendings offs, like 8 seconds with mozza at JJB stadium GB V AUS but he must have had a word in his ear to keep ablett on but he should have walked for thuggish behavour.

True. Scary, but true.



That's what makes the Ablett cop-out so blatant.

I shared that view until Friday. But I was less than impressed with what followed. The biggest disappointment is that Ganson too, it seems, is very quick to send Wigan players to the sin-bin, but very slow to mete out the same punishment to those we are playing. Something I'd never have said about him before.

This both annoyed and concerned me on Friday.

ganson no balls we dont need that sort of thuggery in rugby leauge red hall red faced
