Ganson has his flaws (most of them personality-based), but he's the gutsiest ref I've seen in 30 years of watching RL.

His decision to (correctly) send Morley off at the JJB (within the first 60 seconds?) in the Ashes test a few years ago took stainless-steel cojones.

Any and every other British ref (and you can add Klein to the list, too) would have bottled that decision and handed it over to report.

Respect.

I would say marginally forward but I am basing some of that on the fact that Ainscough really had to stretch out to take the ball.

As for Ganson, imo he had a decent game last night but as ever when we have him and we lose some people look to point the finger at what he (in there minds) did not give us.

I thought he had an ok game tbh.

Some old guy last season said that the ref can't over rule the TJ.

I said he can do what the f*ck he wants he's the ref. He can bum him if he fancies it. Didn't sit near me again all season

Well you advocated bumming, maybe he thought you might try it on him!

You said it, I merely ran with the inference

Pretty weird to me because I have actually played rugby with him and in 29 seasons of turning out he was by far the biggest naughty person on a rugby field I have ever seen. Weird Innit.

Typical of me that

Someone could have blimmin told me the linesmen (sorry, touch judges) posted on here

Get off the fence.
