I assume the RFL have changed the rules allowing officials to referee any game now regardless of their birthplace/place of residence.
Steve Ganson continues to referee games involving Saint Helens. Having seen Roby referee on Sunday,in the borough of Wigan,where,although not having to make too many decisions he appeared to get them wrong,particularly from a York perspective.It seems he has spent his younger life in the west side of the pennines in Leyland,and surprisingly,Wigan. I cannot see where there is a York connection,or a suggestion that he was born in the city or resides there. LINK
EDIT - He went to York University for a degree in politics.

I won't be expecting many 50/50, rub of the green decisions going our way then.
