Glad somebody picked up on Thalers contribution to this. You see refs lose count quite often though, weren't the Hull players counting either?

Every man & his dog have had a say now, not seen any statement from Ganson though? Poor form imo.

If the RFL is supposed to be accountable, transparent and whatever other management speak Jon Sharp chooses to spout at us the point here is that there has been no explanation to the paying speccies.

Accountable and transparent do not sit well with me as descriptions of private conversations between Sandy, Hudge, Sharp and Ganson.

This is already being swept under the carpet so we will probably have to wait til Ganson's autobiography before we have a story. Even then will it be the truth?

The bottom line is that the guy either isn't up to the job or something else distracted him last Saturday.

It's easy to track the wrong guy on first viewing of the video replay but once he knows who scores the try surely with HD pictures and a wider angle than we see on TV it's impossible to see how a competent official could get that wrong on a 2nd, 3rd, nth viewing which he has at his behest. Suggesting we need 2 people to do that job is ridiculous and an insult to every working person. Most of us do responsible jobs and accept the accountability that comes with that, we don't have the luxury of people shadowing our every move as an independent check.

Whether he is a nice guy or not is irrelevant to me. We all have minimum standards to achieve in our jobs and those who don't meet them have to go.

Ganson is a laughing stock. He ruined last year's Magic derby which Hull FC deserved to win and ruined this year's when Hull KR deserved to win. Jon Sharp is a unconvincing laughing stock for publicly backing this clown.

The current British pysche for saying lots but doing nothing means we should be expecting that ubiquitous enquiry that seems to folllow all scandals but we aren't even being offered that.

Ganson should have been on Boots and All to explain himself. If it was an honest mistake he could have taken us through his thought process in real time.

I was philosophical about it after it happened but am more and more angry at the insulting way paying speccies have been ignored this week. Anyone would think there was something to hide?

Also, I won't go to the Ethiad (or wherever) again unless the allow people to take their own food and drink in (I'm not talking alcohol). Yes, I know people smuggled stuff in and some people went under the radar oblivious to it but the principal is that it's not on to expect people to be in a stadium for 9 hours paying those prices for a family. Beer was (as expected) extortionate but I can live with that. Ticket prices are good but it'd interesting if there are any plans to get more people there as there is capacity.

All in all a fantastic weekend. I hope that everyone enjoyed it as much as we did.

Rubbish. What did you expect him to say that he didn't?

Gutted I left at HT in that game now! We swapped ends after the derby, mainly because we planned on supporting Saints and it was quicker to the exit. But there was a group of lads pi$$ed as newts who wouldn't sit down and in the end were told to by the police and eventually moved along, one was ejected before HT. Was it them? Noticeably none of them were wearing any Saints (or any other teams) attire.
