Great win tonight under the circumstances, thought we were great in patches.
However I can see why fans are walking away from the game, the standard of refereeing was terrible at points tonight, compared to the NRL dual referee system it makes our game look like a joke! Some completely bizarre decisions allowed Huddersfield to march up the field and cop a few tries- which got them back into the game. Credit to the boys to show resilience and show who we are and what we can do!

Totally agree with these comments.

I agree, what was the penalty for (the start of many) start of second half we kicked on the last? Lads did well to remain focused.

Up the Trin

Yep. I'll have to watch trinity TV to confirm but it looked like child at his worst, reffing us out of a game as he so often has. Well done trinity for hanging in and winning a game you richly deserved to win

Well i completely disagree. I thought the ref let the game flow and penalised when it needed doing. I saw 1 maybe 2 decisions i would like to have explained and if thats the case through a whole game, i can deal with that.

He pulled them up for offside from Woods kick, it was a terrible call as there was no one even near him!

Few baffling calls but in general I don’t think the referee has a terrible game, in fact it’s one of the better performances I have seen this season which I guess kind of backs up your point re the standard thoughout SL.

Agree with this exactly
He let the game flow well in the first half

We're the two decisions when reece was taken out on the shudds like and his no try for I think bjb grabbing?

Think the problem lies at the very top. The controller of referees was one of the most unpredictable refs the game has ever seen in fact Ganson often seemed to have his own rule book. This is bound to have transfer to his new job and then down to his charges.

I can imagine Ganson is a nightmare boss who’s reactions and instructions will be muddled. This in turn leads to refs not knowing where they stand and thus reffing inconsistently.

Ganson was a rotten choice imo based on his days with the whistle. Of course I can’t prove it as such but I do know as a rule most problems start at the top.

That said I’ve seen worse than last night.

I'd pretty much agree with you. I thought he tried really hard to let the game flow.
There were as you say a couple of odd decisions but generally speaking he was better than the refs we've had recently.

Think your right about him it must rub off to the other ref's, Always ready him penalising Andy Ralleigh for not playing the ball correctly against landon when all the game everybody had done the exactly the same thing which Landon score from and we lost.

Yeah! I remember that. Andy was fuming hahahahaha

Never liked that Andy Raleigh anyway

Watched the Shudds game on Trinity tv and some of the second half decisions were baffling and before you say I’m bitter, I rewound it a couple of times and there was nothing wrong or anything that resembles Child’s signals.

To be honest I am now subscribing to the theory that there is too much going on for refs to handle and we need two. The NRL have admitted this and put this in place and we should too.

Agreed Supercat, but where is the quality of 12 referees going to come from + you need reserves for injury & illnesses ?
On a lighter note could you cope with Childs & say hicks or Kendal on/in the same match ? The mind boggles !
