I would agree with you upon till Maguire and Sinfield as they seem to be good at reffing the game!!

One thing that gets me with Ganson is that hes looking for things that may have happened in previous games rather than just ref whats in front of you and if you upset him early doors he will pick you up for everthing!!

Best ref in the comp by a country mile.

Can you ask Fielden to pick a fight with him again?

Just my opinion, but I don't think Ganson is a particularly outstanding referee and neither can I get excited when he is appointed referee for us.

Precisely the reason I don't like him as a referee.

Once again, same as every week, would should be good enough regardless of the referee.

Good choice of ref cant complain as if we play rubbish and lose you cant blame ganson.

My thoughts exactly. We should be aiming to win by a big enough margin so that any errors by the referee don't affect us winning the game.

That's all well & good, but for the big games the scores generally tend to be very close and so a referee's error or decision can be the difference between winning and losing.

Best ref around to be fair but agree with Hogan on this one. Whoever the ref may be has little to no bearing on a game if we preform to our best. The fact that Phil Bentham has reffed alot of Wigan defeats over the past couple of years is just a conincidence and other factors were the main ones in losing those games.

Still i'm glad he isn't ref this Friday!!!

Don't give him an excuse to penalise us and he can't.

If he wants to penalise you he will. Simple as that. The Leeds home game was a classic example. The press during the week had rambled on about our "holding down tactics" and in the opening ten minutes Ganson had it in his mind he was penalising Wigan. It was absolutely ridiculous.

They were all correct calls. We were holding down. The only problem I had with it was that he wasn't consistent when Leeds were holding down.

We're not the most penalised side in the league for no reason.

You idiots!

x 2.

x 3

I wonder if people will swallow some pride, hold their hands up and admit they were wrong?

Oh dear !

This thread has turned round a bit.

lol

Why? He had a bad game, but it was a horrible game to referee with dreadful play around the ruck from both sides.

He made a big error with the Coley sin binning, but players also make big errors every week, he is only human. He is still by far the best referee in the competition by some distance.

Ganson is the best ref we have

he was just poop last night! handled the 'on report' incidents all wrong
