Just been reading what is now my local paper the St. Helens Star. In it there is a piece written by Jon Wilkin talking about the farcical decision to allow Dobsons try. It also says that Ganson asked his touch judge if it was ok and the touch judge said it was.

Harrigan told Trent Barrett that it wasn't a try, then backed his ref's in the press conference.

Who witnessed this conversation between Harrigan and Barrett? Harrigan admits he walked to the car park with Barrett and they discussed aspects of the match but denies saying he told Barrett he thought it was not a try. Barrett said he did, so unless there was a third party present who knows the true facts? Surely your post should have began "Harrigan allegedly told Trent Barrett........."

Well were not in a court of law.

Harrigan's hanging on by his finger nails.

Unlike you I am not in the habit of calling anyone an idiot but will agree about his passion for RL.Out here in the Penrith area he does massive work for the School and youth teams and is highly commended and respected in this activity. Admittedly he has some controversial views which is probably the reason he is currently on the NRL Fox show. His comment about a return to 1 referee was typical MG and he is in the minute minority I believe!

He jumps on headlines without reading them through.

The games to fast to go back to one ref.

I'm not knocking him on his work with youth and in the community though.
