Quote: FLAG EDGE TOUCH "More b*llox from the RFL...
"But there is plenty of discussion to be had about how the first half has gone and rightly so. You want to encourage dialogue between the referee and his touch judges and, when you have someone of Steve's experience and knowledge at the game in an official capacity, I think he has every right to go into that dressing room."
What about the other games played in this round? It's seems a rather 'hit & miss' policy...
[b]"There is absolutely no point in having the referees coach in the ground sat there for 80 minutes with no presence about the dressing room area. It's nothing new, I'm a little bit surprised it's hit the headlines."]
Again, it's just a matter of fortune (good or bad) that the referees coach is at a particular game...
"What he's said is irrelevant. It was a real ambiguous statement to say the game changed in the second half. We are talking about a fantastic St Helens team who were just behind on scoreboard."
Had Mr Ganson NOT visited the referee at HT there wouldn't have been any kind of ambiguity would there Jon?'"
That first bit makes no sense at all, unless Ganson went into the dressing room to say "Ref, speak to your touch judges. Touch judges, speak to the ref" and then left.
On the second bit, why has he gone to the ground at all? If it's an official monitoring visit, just say so.
