Ganson (and Sinfield).

make sure we stand square......

Id rather have Thaler, think he's best of the bunch.

Thaler

I think in general he has far more good games than bad, compared to the ineptnes of Alibert, Hicks or that other young one (not Child). put it this way, i dont say 'oh no' when he is announced as the games ref.
Funny how we all see things differently.

It's on Sky, so it's inevitable that at some point, Ganson will do something to grab attention; let's just hope it's to them and not us.

Thaler, Ganson & Silverwood are the better refs, I actually think James Child can become a very good ref a bit to go yet.

Alibert is shocking and I think a large part of that is down to Mr Cummings hanging him out to dry for his mis-count earlier this year. Yes it was a bad bad error, but the sanctions should have been private, the poor guy has no confidence in his own judgement.

For your match against Leeds you really wanted Silverwood - he is a Leeds fan but overcompensates in trying to not show favour. Failing that its a toss up between Thaler & Ganson, though Ganson may put on a TV special (he is much better in non-televised matches imo).

Having seen Leeds surrender to Giants on Sunday I think you have a very good chance, but you need to be at your best as they are capable of beating anyone when they click.

Sin bin Sinfield for backchat....we can hope!!

I didn't notice anyone complaining about Thaler's performance on Saturday. I thought he did well.

Sinfield hardly ever speaks out of turn or back-chats to the ref. He might talk to the ref quite a lot, but he always does this within the laws and as captain of the side he is fully entitled to speak to the ref. You might not like it, but he doesn't (generally) break any laws!

Ganson seeks attention by giving dubious decisions usually against the favourite. Plus he's the sort of ref that won't listen to the whingings of Sinfield.

The sun really does shine out his every orifice? Him and Wellens should start a little club!

Personally, I do think he probably does speak to the ref too much but the point about this is that he doesn't do it out of turn, never shouts or swears at the ref, or gets in his face. The rules allow every team captain to ask the ref for an explanation of his decisions, the worst thing Sinfield ever does his pull & face and shrugs his shoulders when he disagrees.

The thing I would say in Sinfield's favour is that the refs clearly like him. If he was disrespectful or out of line with them they wouldn't.
We should learn from that.

I'm sure I heard that he threw the water bottle down the other day in a tantrum over a decision that went against them at Shudds

No, that was JJB mate.

He may well operate within the letter of the law, but not within the spirit of it; I absolutely can't abide watching one professional trying to get a fellow professional penalised - it's abhorrently footballesque - and he does that all the time.

It was a wonderful moment when Mr Child binned him for backchat at our place - I hope Mr Ganson shows a similar lack of tolerance.

Having tried to have a conversation with him following the Wigan home game, I can assure you there is no lack of confidence, his arrogance is quite something.
The match commissioner and other officials had, shall we say; less confidence in his judgement and prowess!!!!

sinfield's name got mentioned, must of been trying to calm him down

anyway we'll have ten yards off him then instead

Pleased with Ganson being the ref Sat.
Hope Im still saying that Sun morning!

Good luck to any ref whose in charge with Sinfield moaning in one ear and Wellens grumbling in the other.

On a similar theme WTW are the only team this year not to receive a yellow card, www.superleague.co.uk/stats/clubstats We conceded the third least penalties too which could have been better had Andy Raleigh not upset the ref ............. down at London.

well said i would like to see more captain keep within the laws

Only if the ref asks to speak to him first, he doesn't as captain have any more right to talk to the ref as anyone else otherwise.
I have seen him approach the ref and try explaining to him where he's going wrong on numerous occasions without firstly being beckoned.
In fairness he's not the only one and probably not the worst offender but a saint he ain't (unless they have signed him instead of Hull and i haven't heard!!!).
