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 ?

At least we havent got him this week. www.therfl.co.uk/referee/appointments

No Alibert instead, great!

I know hull fans have the reputation of being dim,but they have excelled over ganson.28 pages of abuse levelled at ganson. Ganson was behind the dead ball line and although he may suspect the pass was forward from that position he couldn't possibly know so he asked the touch judge who was bang in line and he said it was ok.So your gripe is with the touch judge,not ganson.He is not me favourite ref but why not ask yourselves,what is the point of touch judges.??

after this match you gotta wonder

You are correct in saying that it was a touch judge decision not a Ganson decision in the forward pass incident so Ganson had to go along with it. Would have been interesting to have heard the conversation between the two officials aspecially after the Hull fans erupted.
Bad forward pass decisions are ,unfortunately, part of the game and even in the NRL where we have an extra on-field refereee we have had a worse case earlier this season but it was not match-defining so not controversial.

I have no answer to how we can get forward pass decisions consistently correct, so bad decisions will occur from time to time and this one goes into that category and we move on.Touch judges afterall are only human!

Ganson is not the reason we lost against an average KR team, no excuses we should have won the game at 30-16.

KR have 3 cup finals a season, when they play us, there season is based on games against us, and thanks to a team collapse and players thinking they are better than they are we now we have to put up with the supporters of that horrible little club giving it the big one.

The fans are owed a big performance against Saints.

Utter .

In the past 4 seasons Hkr have finished above us in the league 3 times and in the only time we finished above them they went further in the competition by beating us in the play offs.

Believe me when I say this they could finish 2nd from bottom every season but if they beat us they view it has a job well done.

They is no excuse that our smaller neighbors have finished above us other than we did have the worst coach in SL so yes for those 3 season.

Since 98 they have finished above us 3 times.

Have appeared in no major finals we have 3.

They are lessor neighbors and extremely irritating ones.

No they wouldn't, some of their fans might but so would some of ours.

Since 98? and we say they live in the past.

I don't know any supporters who view beating KR with the same level of importance as KR supporters do beating us. I'd go as far to say the people I know beating Leeds was more important than beating KR in the derby me included.

I think history is extremely important when discussing why I believe
KR supporters view games against us as cup finals.
