Thought he was rubbish today

your right big bloke stud at the side of me never shut up about him

You should be back in the home by now

give the guy a chance, i thought he did ok.

it was a hard game for him to ref in fairness because Les Cats are the most ill-disciplined side i have seen in a long time.

that could have been me lol

said if he reffed like he did at cas he would get chased off did i have a green cardigan on lol

No worse than any of the others really, but as plenty of others have already said, I find it hard to believe that he didn't even speak to anyone about the constant messing about at the play the ball, staggering the amount of times they were penalised for it, and got away with it.

Two ways you can look at it

Yes we as a supporter we do not usually moan when we win and certainly the holding down and interfering at the play the ball was ridiculous, he also never looked to his left at all for offside from the defensive team.

On the other hand he is young he is learning his trade, i'm assuming he must have come through the co-op leagues ? give him a chance. Was not as bad as the "HOMER" and i do not mean his sexuality IAN SMITH on Friday who dare not make a decision against Leeds Dolphins sorry I mean Rhinos but might as well have been watching American Football with all the forward passing.

One thing I will say try refereeing then you will see how hard it really is.

It is hard Fred and i did not really want to start a witch hunt on a young ref, but you have to admit they did hold down several times and he should have sent one to the bin.

so hes fair game

I didn't think he did too badly. He didn't impose himself on the game too much, but then again, he is new at being in the middle. And I didn't go to watch him, which seems to be Ganson's view of spectators, that we pay to listen to a whistle.

I agree about the lack of a card for holding down, but he penalised them frequently and probably gave us the game because of it.

In all fairness it must have been a very big day for the bloke reffing his first SL game. I know a more experienced ref would have given a warning
then a yellow for the holding down. However he never stopped penalising them and thats what counts in the end.

They got away with it all last season and finished 3rd this season teams are wise to it they will be nowhere near the 8 this time
