Just a random rant but yet again our fave French ref gave 7 tackles again and yet again a try was scored on the seventh tackle! It's not acceptable.... What action do you think should happen??

He should be made to retake year 4 primary school class.

Bring back Ashley, at least he can count.

Won't bother Cummins, he'll still take wages for doing sod all.

bet he has now problem counting his wage.

Quote ="1873"But he denied this after 20 odd looks. img638.imageshack.us/img638/4990/36374215.png'" It was Russell Smith who didn't give that. Awful decision.  The refs are all bad, it's just varying degrees of bad. The one thing that bothers me is the likes of Child, Ganson and Silverwood in particular seem to have a massive chip on their shoulder. It's not necessary.

There is no way Ganson would leave a chip on his shoulder and it let it go uneaten.

When it's something as fundamental as the tackle count, the resultant try should be chalked off; this idiot could end up having an adverse influence on league positions come the end of the season - no one seemed to care when we lost to a Warrington try on the 7th, but if that 2 points ends up making some difference to them and another 'big' club, there'll be an outcry.

Ganson's hitler type attitude is very amusing though, especially when he knows he's got it wrong.

Super League referee Thierry Alibert has been punished with a one-match suspension after allowing a try to be scored on the seventh tackle for the second time in a month. The error was made during Catalan Dragons's 36-18 defeat of London Broncos

Yes, a one match suspension has clearly proven to be a very effective intervention, given how well it worked the last time he lost the ability to count to six.

he could get a six game suspension, but be made to serve 7.

Didnt have much to the final outcome in the Catalan game but cost Wakey 2 points now I wonder what would happen at the end of the season if it had cost Warrington 2 points.Ok we all give the refs some stick but when one cant get the basics of counting to 6 thats another thing.

There were people defending him when he made the mistake the first time. Wonder what they all think now he's done it again?

I kicked up a stink at the time and was largely shouted down - it happens, people make mistakes, they've got a lot to think about etc etc.

I put it down to the WTW effect - it doesn't matter, it's only Wakey. Imagine if Wire were to squeeze another club that does actually matter out of the 8 by the two points they nicked off us - there'd be a lynching on the cards.

Oh well - one day, perhaps we'll be a club that people actually give a schit about?

It's obvious to us that he is a rubbish ref, he always makes mistakes and is unable to us a proper sign when he gives a pen. How many times does he give a pen and you have no idea what he's given it for?

I don't understand why the RFL bother with him, they should get rid and put money into developing another ref.

Old pea head is a clown, has been from day 1. He even manages to baffle Stevo, it doesn't help when certain pundits champion his wacky decisions declaring he's " a character ". He shows no signs of improving , Alibert out !!!

thought Ganson had a good game (for him) at Perpignan

regarding Thierry.....

merde alors,quel con !

Same to you pal

Agreed with you when it happened and agree with you now, still have a hard time accepting it and by rights we turned over Warrington and Catalans two games running and should have been 2 points better of right now and maybe the vibe would be a bit different around the place.

Complete and utter farce

The Farce is Cummins, he should bin him off and promote a young up and coming ref instead of playing boys club with him.

Half the problem is there aren't many of those available either. Let's be honest, if it really was easy money, half the members of this site would be volunteering. We have enough experts, and a fair proportion of them can probably count from 1 to 6 as well.

Can they not use that device that Dickie Bird used to carry in his pocket to count the number of balls in an over?

Apart from a couple of tries scored from forward passes and blowing up for every suspected bit of holding down for the first 20 mins, then ignoring it for the rest of the game and letting Wire get away with murder.

On that subject - what's happened to Benny Westwood? He's turned into a reet dirty get.
