Going to Cas with us on sat

Thats good of him, Who's the ref?

not had much to complain about him for a while so ok.

He'll be clueless without a video ref to tell him what to do

Corrected your statement for you

Oh FFS Ganson's completely insane, not much better than Hicks. But having said that, being the control freak he is, he'll be more likely to want to wind up the Cas fans than ours. But then again, he's ultra keen on quick play the balls, the area where Cas will have the upper hand.

I'll never forget that moment at Huddersfield on Sky when he produced a straight red for a waist high tackle!

... or ... after constantly constantly constantly going to the video ref all through the match, not going to a blatant vid ref call in that "Magic weekend" match between the whinos and the bullies, when the whinos were given a ridiculous penalty in the last minute (they were losing by a point), they kicked at goal, all their players were offside at the kick, the ball hit the post, and there was a dodgy grounding of the ball by an offside whino. Did Ganson go to the vid ref, when it was so obvious he should have? NO! He gave the try LOL!! He really is a total [iprick[/i!

I never used to be able to stand this guy but these days we get far worst in Hicks etc so may be good to see him saturday. Lets hope I dont eat these words.

I.M.O. Ganson is and has been the best ref in this country for several seasons.

I've just noticed on the RFL's appointments page that the Hudds v Rochdale game kicks off at 11.30 sunday morning, that seems odd.

They said its so supporters can get home in time to watch Saints vs Catalans

If the two games clashed timewise then they were expecting a lower gate so they have spread the start times to encourage people to go and watch what should be a relative walkover for the Giants.

Think its only £10/11 entry as well.

I just remember a semi final (at Castleford) where we lost by 2 points, only a few years ago and Ganson chalked off a decent try (no video ref there then) by us, which could have seen us go on to win? Cant remember the year, but it wasnt that long ago.

If he is the best ref in this country then the rest are absolute rubbish....... But then again.....

The last time we played at Castleford in the challenge cup was February 2000.

Halifax won 11-10 and Ganson was the referee AND he sent the winning drop goal from Andrew Dunemann to the video ref.....

Shame he didnt do the same for the drop goal from Sinfield against Bradford in Cardiff last year.

We have played them since that in a NL1 semi final, at Wheldon Road where he dissallowed a try, which on watching the replay was a clear touchdown.

You're not thinking of the Karl Kirkpatrick game when he dis-allowed Dids a touchdown in the play-offs ( 2005 ? ) are you ?

I thought it was Phil Bentham who disallowed Dids's try at Cas in 2005....?

I'm sure it was Kirkpatrick as didn't some kid have a chat with him before the game on Rugby League Raw?
