Anyone but Bentham.

Has he been The "Man in the middle" for any of our SL games this season?

He obviously took charge of last seasons GF

I reckon it will be ganson

In answer to the St Steve questions, last time Leeds had Steve Ganson:

26-Mar-10 ..... 15 - 08 ..... Away ..... Wigan 24, Leeds 4

Last time Leeds had Steve Ganson at Headingley:

19-Mar-10 ..... 15 - 07 ..... Home ..... Leeds 10, Hull KR 17

Even though we lost I still think he had a good game in those 2. Nothng springs to mind anyway. Heres to hoping. I really wouldnt mind him for the next 2 weeks TBH.

Carefull...that could be seen as a 40k fine by our Cas friends

Ganson it is.

Just as long as it isn't Ben "Hodgson flapped an arm and the ball was somewhere nearby so we'll award a try" Thaler again.

I also notice that Jamie " slow it down and watch from 6 different angles and still get it wrong" Childs in one of the touch judges

So which Ganson are we going to get? The "keep the game flowing at all costs" Ganson or the "blow the pea out of the whistle just so I can get to hear myself on the telly" version?

What's wrong with this. He's an international TJ and thats still his main role with the RFL.

It doesnt matter really. At least with Ganson he's always the same for both teams no matter what time of the month it is.

I'd say given the way the two teams like to play it could have a significant bearing on the way the game pans out. If Ganson decides he wants the ruck area cleared quickly and is prepared to give out some early penalties to ensure it happens that could suit Leeds IMO, as so much of Wigan's defensive structure revolves around getting numbers into the tackle and stretching the patience of the referee.

I'm quite astounded by the appointment for the Burtonwood Cup Final on Saturday night.

Why would the RFL need anyone to fill a role that doesn't really exist?

The fact that Child has taken control in 22 of the 23 SL Regular Rounds played so far this season might suggest that being a 1st grade referee in now his main role with the RFL.

The only one missing from the set being way back in round 3 and it's a run he'll be continuing at Odsal on Sunday for the visit of Les Catalans.

He hasnt missed a round TJ'ing though has he? He's not full time so maybe my working was wrong. You're just having a moan because I called you Danny's bitch arent u?

I've no idea how many SL rounds Child has touch judged this season (geek alert

) If it's more than he has reffed then he's been kept a busy boy.

My comment on the other thread had nothing really to do with Era Of The Biff.

I'd sooner have the ashes of that dead cat off Coronation Street, as ref, rather than Bentham !

How much did they go for?

IIRC they got over £300 for them. Daft buggers !

I didn't know they did that.

How much did Alan Bradley go for?

A Mars Bar and half a packet of wine gums.

£700 iirc

Still over £300 though
