And no English refs to cover games involving English clubs?

Or is it only 'Johnny Foreigner' who can't be trusted?

Pathetic.

Wrong.

His nationality is not the issue....he is just shiit...kept us entertained though as we never knew what he would do next, mind you clearly neither did he

Last time I checked, Alibert wasn't from Perpignan and wasn't a Dragons supporter. That should be all that matters.

The fact that he simply isn't up to SL standard and in fact would probably struggle to ref two pub sides is the problem. His nationality and which teams he attempts to referee is inconsequential.

I'm not that fussed who refs the game as long as he is fair and capable.

I thought the 'E' was for Engage!!

Getting Ganson in th C/Cup final was even better too.
I always sit near the away end most games apart from when we play Quins and Catalans due to the non existant away following so last night I was at the other end and all I can say is never again, the amount of so called Hull fans sat there screaming abuse, wait for it... at the Hull players, "hull your F@@@ing S@@t", "Longy your S@@t"...Why do some people pay the money to get in, pay for shirts ect, go to the game and scream abuse at their own players...Absolute morons!!!

If the Ref had been from Hull and was a big Hull F C fan should he be allowed to ref any Hull games ps for me just Rovers games

That rules out all of them!!

i couldnt care less who refs the game,but i'm so miffed at the clowns that are touch judges..wtf are they there for?

I would like to see 2 refs like in Auss ..The only problem in this Country we cannot put 1 good ref on the pitch

Alibert shouldn't ref Catalans games for the same reason why Ganson shouldn't ref St Helens games, been biased. Even if Alibert isn't from Perpignan, he'll still be in favour of the French team winning.

Don't agree. I've no problem with Ganson refereeing Saints games.

How far do you take the idea that a ref might be biased in favour of a particular club? You might say Ganson shouldn't ref Wigan or Warrington games as they are Saints' big local rivals.

You wouldn't take it that far, just Ganson can't referee St Helens, Bentham can't ref Warrington, Thaler can't ref Wakefield.
