What is the rule when you drop or knock the ball on in your in goal or on your try line?

The thing which bored my about Ganson, is his interpretation of the offside rule. We looked to be stand at least 12yrds yet Cas players especially 14 where standing in front of Ganson moving before the play the ball and making the tackle, no foul. What is all that about, I swear Hock got the ball at one point and the guy was 5 yrds away????? And there try in the the right hand corner in the 2nd half the lad who scored it, was a good 5 yrds off side, the Linesman had a clear view and did sweet FA. The officals where, are and always will be a joke.

But saying that not matter how bad the team of officals where we should have batter Cas last night we are proper crap.

have a look at owens disallowed try, the number of high tackles by wigan players that went unpenalised. wether you like or not wigan were beaten by the better team on the night

Are well nearly 24 hours before the ref was to blame. The bonus is you only get him twice more this season!!

Wait until you get one of these second rate refs like Quins had a Cas last week. He couldn't keep up with play.

The knock on was the worst refereeing decision i have ever seen. It wasn't a little fumble, he was stood up and dropped the ball it hit the floor bounced up and caught it again! Unbelievable! The touch judge was at fault more than Ganson!

If you drop the ball and it goes forward then you regain possession that is a Goal Line Drop Out. Should the ball not be gathered and is touched down by an opponent then it is a try. If you drop the ball and it travels toward your own dead ball line then it may be picked up and play will carry on. The ball is deemed to be In Goal if it is on or behind the Goal Line, or the player carrying the ball has at least one foot on or behind the Goal Line.

I'm not being pedantic about the 'Try Line' but you often hear Eddie and Stevo amongst others referring to a Try Line but it simply doesn't exist and never has!

Pugwash.

I wasn't at the game. The incident that is being referred to(On the try line) in light of what you are saying, was Gansons decision wrong?

he didnt knock on in his in goal he dropped it in the field of play it wasnt even close

Who cares about the ref, Castleford played well and fully deserved the win, we are not good enough.

Didn't think he did too badly personally.

After seeing the highlights at half time I didn't think Ainscough's try in the first half was forward. Did anybody else see different?

I didn't see much wrong with their disallowed try either.

I didn't think it was forward either.

I couldn't see their try.

Ganson has his flaws (most of them personality-based), but he's the gutsiest ref I've seen in 30 years of watching RL.

His decision to (correctly) send Morley off at the JJB (within the first 60 seconds?) in the Ashes test a few years ago took stainless-steel cojones.

Any and [ievery[/i other British ref (and you can add Klein to the list, too) would have bottled that decision and handed it over to report.

Respect.

I would say marginally forward but I am basing some of that on the fact that Ainscough really had to stretch out to take the ball.

As for Ganson, imo he had a decent game last night but as ever when we have him and we lose some people look to point the finger at what he (in there minds) did not give us.

I thought he had an ok game tbh.

Some old guy last season said that the ref can't over rule the TJ.



I said he can do what the f*ck he wants he's the ref. He can bum him if he fancies it. Didn't sit near me again all season

Well you advocated bumming, maybe he thought you might try it on him!

You said it, I merely ran with the inference

Pretty weird to me because I have actually played rugby with him and in 29 seasons of turning out he was by far the biggest house on a rugby field I have ever seen. Weird Innit.

Typical of me that

Someone could have blimmin told me the linesmen (sorry, touch judges) posted on here

Get off the fence.

Being able to take an attitude likes that makes you a credit to your club.

You're related, right?

Not even Mrs Ganson according to their milkman.

Ganson had a good game, but he got the forward pass wrong. The knock on was the touch judges fault not Ganson's.
