Should confuse a few, they wont know who to abuse. Pity Tommy Lee has to sit this one out

tommy lee is at huddersfield now this season

Both teams conceding penalties for fun , Chuck in Ganson as well .. Jeez , Should be a cracker!

I know, he won't even be there

So out of the 4 games we will have played we've had Ganson for 50% of them. Why is this? If its not him its that other imbecile, Hull hater, Silverwood. Why can't they operate a rota so that you only get an individual once every 10th game? For me it puts a downer on the game straight away when you see this guys name.

And Moa Returns

I don't mind Ganson at least he's consistent

Wish it was James Child!

Because we ain't got ten SL Grade refs you muppet

Consistent in his inconsistency

It will either be a penaltyathon or he will let everything go

Who cares who the ref is, we should be beating Wakefield at home, no excuses!

Is he a man or a muppet?

You have now put the mockers on it.

Sit down Thick 'ead and I'll explain this for you in very very simple terms.

There are 9 full time refs - Alibert, Benthem, Child, Ganson, Hicks, Roby, Silverwood, Thaler and Turley.

If we had Ailbert in week 1 then we would'nt get him again until week 10.

Is that simple enough for you MUPPET?

That's every 9th game - i.e. 1 game in every 9.

Now explain how this works given that there are two teams in every game.

Sadly he's consistently crap.

Oh dear.

What's 10 minus 1?

Plus each game features two clubs. Trying to ensure that [iboth[/i clubs only get any given ref every 9 games would be pretty difficult.

Now factor in the ref who serves as VR for the televised games and you get some idea of why the distribution of refs isn't as even as you might hope.

nail on the head - he usually blows up a lot (and don't some of us hope this happens to him

) or as demonstrated in the 2005 cup final he can let everything go in the name of a fast open game, sadly not all that frequently though

At least its not a sky game so we 80mins of rugby without it turning into the ganson show

I wouldn't believe that if I were you. Almost certain to be the Ganson show, regardless of tv coverage.

To be fair when he lets the game flow, he is one of the best ref. Didnt he ref a derby game and only give a few pens and one of them was when we kicked out on the full at the begginig of the game

Like was said earlier, when he wants to be he is the best in the business, but then he will take on another match and look like he was only informed of the rules the day before hand, and thats the inconsistency of him he can be great and he can be bloody aWFUL
