Ganson is being very harsh on Leeds. He has got numerous calls wrong tonight.

Nothing major, just loads of niggly little decisions going against leeds which are combining against them.

Niggly things like a forward pass given when it's not, so from resulting posession warrington force a drop out, then score from the drop out.

Knock on given as steal, back to 6 given as play on.

Just niggly little decisions.

I don't think he's bias I just think in his head he thinks 'i've not blown my whislte for 5 mins, i'll soon make up for that'. It normally ends up in one team getting hammered for something that's been unpunished all game. In this case, Leeds.

Well he's giving leeds little tonight.

He's out there giving his all for Warrington now

Keep him away from these big games. Terrible refereeing

Is that benefit of the doubt to attacking side? Hard to show it's a knock on. It's definitely marginal.

Not sure what we were doing offloading there anyway. Should've driven to the sticks.

Taken the easy option out there the video ref. Minds you I'd have moaned had it gone the other way.

He got the big one wrong because Myler was not offside!

the PTB rule says: "no player of the team not in possession may advance until the ball has cleared the ruck."

doesn't look to me as if the ball has cleared the ruck in that screenshot.

Myler was offside

Sensational game though and Ganson had as good a game as both teams. never thought I'd say that but credit where it's due

Any one trying to claim that is not offside, using that screen shot needs their head inspecting. Wonder boy was offside, no argument whatsoever.

Clearly offside by half a metre or so. Both feet need to be on or behind the line these days remember.

the fact is that the whole warrington line is in front of Ganson as it is, so anyone in front of them is even more offside.

Eh? You've posted a screenshot of Myler offside fgs.

And the markers aren't square either. There are three in front of the ref on that screenshot.

Strange game that one. Ganson gave Leeds nothing for an hour...looked like Leeds would be reffed out of the game, and suddenly things seemed to swing even. Ironic then, that a contentious penalty in Leeds' favour wins them the game. IMO, the penalty was correct.

Absolutely epic game, fantastic to see twitter full of praise from non-RL fans. What a shame that wasn't the Grand Final. Even as a Wigan fan I was breathless at the end.

What happened with the clown who confronted ganson on the pitch??

He obviously only turned up to watch at half time

I don't think Myler is offside, he's in line with the other players in the defensive line and if you look at the pitch markings he's definitely the full ten metres.

Is he in front of the referee? Yes he is (as are a few other players) that and the fact the markers are not square I don't see how anyone could say it was a contentious decision. Right decision. But the Hall's third try should have stood as well.

I love these "I don't understand the rules, therefore the referee is wrong" threads … mind they're never going to go away while Mike Stephenson continues building his commentary on nothing more than "I don't understand the rules, therefore the referee has got it wrong" reactions to every decision.

And then he who layeth the truth down did bugger off in to the sunset on a motorbike

it doesn't have to clear the ruck for the ball to be deemed as back in play.

[iPlay with foot (e) When the ball touches the ground it must be heeled (i.e. backwards) by the tackled player. The ball must not be kicked or heeled by the player marking him[/i. [i=#0040FFThe ball is in play when it has been played backward[/i.




Since when did the rule say that the referee should take the defence back 12 or 13 metre's

[i=#0040FFRetire at play-the-ball (g) players of the side not in possession other than the player taking part in the play-the-ball and the acting half back are out of play if they fail to retire ten (10) metres from the point at which the ball is played[/i

It's an offence not to retreat 10m, if the ref (as Ganson, and a lot do) stand 12m back to observe better then it's not an offence to stand in front of the ref.

FWIW Myler was offside and the pen rightly given .
