After a dodgy start he wasnt too bad . he missed a few Saints forward passes. Missed the knock on just prior to Wilkins kick out on the full . I also thought that when Hall offloaded as he was going in touch there was an offside from sts that he missed. Hall passed the ball back one saint touche it in flight and another pushed it backwards from an offside position should have been a pen to leeds. He also penalised keith for 'jumping' (since when was that an offence- one that we have been penalised twice for this year) and the high tackle call agaisnt rob was harsh. Some of those are down to human error some down to his own weird rule making. Most of the game I didnt notice him though which is exactly as it should be.

No doubt about it that ganson is best ref in super league.



He was always going to be fair because he wouldn't risk missing out on another Leeds v saints final.



I thought he had pretty good game to be honest.

The Senior decision was spot on. He also missed a blatant flop on Webb late in the first half (and missed a similar one Sky bleated about where Leeds were the offenders later on).



However, I'm sure he missed a few offences against Saints too rather than your one sided list.



Overall I thought he did well.

It was a blatant, stupid attempt to slow the PTB which resulted in a penalty that Saints 100% didn't want to conceed.



You sin bin a player when he deliberately gives away a penalty rather than allow a PTB and probably conceed a try. There was no special circumstances behind that situation apart from it was close to our line. It was never a binnable offence and no one with any sense would call it that.

What offence do you think Senior committed?



IMO he was challenging for the ball and jumped for the ball. He was then barged off the ball by a Saints player (Gidley?).



Ganson then gave a penalty against Senior for barging.



It was a bull5hit decision.

He obstructed the player by jumping way too early with no intention to challenge for the ball.

TBF he does it every week and usually gets away with it.

Rubbish! Cunningham was behind Leuluai when he went to play the ball. He came round in front of him (from an offside position) and deliberately knocked the ball out of his hand to stop him playing the ball, which could well have led to a Leeds try. Professional foul + sin bin - no different in principle to the Wildcats sinbinning for stopping Leeds taking a quick 22 metre tap. Deliberate ploy by Cunningham to give away 2 rather than 6 points.

You're right to a point - he does protect his winger very well - but not usually as blatantly as that.

Granted he tends to be more subtle in his ‘attempt’ to jump for the ball.

Ganson didn't give the penalty for jumping too early. And that's obviously not an offence anyway.



Ganson gave the penalty for barging, and he named Senior as the offender.



Senior jumped for the ball. We don't know whether he'd jumped too early or not because Gidley barged him out of the way before he had a chance to catch it.



It was a bull5hit penalty. Your explanation of the penalty is bull5hit.

That's a pretty impotent response John.



He deliberately jumped way too early with no intention of going for the ball. He'd landed before it got there.
