Ref: thierry Alibert
Video: Phil bentham

Bleeding hell how the flying fook can the dipsh#ts at the RFL come up with that?

Should be fun.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB!!

JAAAAAAAMY SURRRRRRRRRRRENDER

Second worst referee in the league.. should be an interesting evening.

Have you got those two the correct way around?

I saw Thierry playing Boules in the centre of Leeds on Sunday at the Boules court thing near Greek Street... was tempted to make some sarcastic comment of other, but didn't... even ref's deserve time off! Mr Ganson likes a good 'ole' punch... sorry, knees up at a wedding I understand... each to their own!

If TMFMISL isn't mentioned this thread will sink.

Anyone?

With Silverwood, Bentham and Thaler being the other three appointments it looks like Wigan and Leeds have drawn the short straw or perhaps there's a perception at the RFL that it's the least competitive fixture?

I'd have appointed Ian Smith as the video referee for all nine play-off fixtures personally but at least he's got two of the opening four.

to be fair he reffed the recent warrington v saints game and handled it well
the only blot on the day was that he allowed graham to rant at him without penalising him but seeing as we're getting a reputation for moaning to the ref that might be to our advantage

handled it well??...14 penalties to 6 to the wire (thats why he probally overlooked graham moaning..he thought he'd give warrington enough already)..

Would like to know the home team win ratio when he is ref ? He seams to go with the crowd.

i thought ganson may have got this gig?

I hope so, based on his video reffing decisions I've seen so far, on the pitch is the best of the two options there.

Sunday will be Alibert's Play-Off debut.

Wasn't it Bentham in the box at Old Trafford last year who allowed Smith's try?

Think Thierry (Homer) Halibut may help in our downfall.
He is very much swayed by the home crowds and was shocking when we played at Hull KR.
Certain the pies will shout for everything and don't think he'll have the bottle to turn them down

OT but who was the VR that disallowed McGuire's perfectly fine try at Hull KR?

James 'still learning all the rules' Child

But to credit him, with Cummins words ringing in his ears, he allowed the Shenton try last week and even had the foresight to watch two replays at full speed to confirm that Shenton was still moving when he promoted the ball.

I don't think he will get that wrong again!

What's so funny?

Brilliant

Very good. Where would we be without a sense of humour.
