i thought it was slightly harsh tbh. but understand why he was sent off

Moron??
Ok If my opinion is not the same as yours then I'm a Moron, seen players laying on far more ( even 3rd players in the tackle ) all weekend and every week, by the book he should have walked but I feel he was hard done to, as a moron I also retract my twice the sets and possession statement

You sure thats in the rules??

No doubt it was forward and a poor decision,but I keep asking the same question,what is the purpose of touch judges,match after match they run up and down the touchline and do nothing.It wasn't gansons call,he may have suspected it was forward and he looked at the touch judge for help and got nothing.Everybody is having a go at ganson,but the real culprit was the touch judge,he simply has not done his job.!

the thing that gets me is how unfit all of the officials are, they seem like they'd struggle to play bowls twice a week, let alone officiate a multi million pound sport. Russ Abbot had slimmer and fitter dancers than Ganson.

I'm notan expert on the rules by any means but in a pre-season summary/intro to rugby league (I think it was sky not BBC) it was definately stated that the Doctor can be identified by his red shirt (rather than the physio's orange ones) and as soon as he enters the field of play the game must be stopped. It stuck in my memory as I thought it was a ready made recipe for abuse.

Now you are talking like a complete 2@.

Ganson was closer to Hodgson, when he went over, than any of our players

Ganaon may be public enemy no. 1 in Hull but for me the above is the true position.

On Field policy guidelines allow the doctor on the field when the game is in progress. If the doctor goes on when the game is in progress because of a situation, the game should be stopped, but the medics must try to attract the attention of the officials to stop the game. Bear in mind in this case that the stretcher and the full medical pack was also taken out onto the field; that should have been just cause to stop the game.

So would I, we would have won the game then.

No it wouldn't have been OK.

can we play the match again

Thought that's what you meant. As you say, if the catcher is in front of the passer at the time he receives the ball, it was a forward pass.

I fully agree that Dobson's sin binning was the correct decision. My gripe about it though is that this happens all the time (professional fouls) and no one gets sent to the sin bin, yet on this occasion Dobson does. In short its the inconsistency of officiating which annoys me and why I feel aggrieved that Dobson was binned.

I take it by now that Steve "look at me" Ganson has officially apologised and the RFL have actually suspended that fat useless tw4t ?

Any official comments ANYWHERE or is the silence deafening ?
