Oh dear...the ref for Friday is..... : Tue May 19, 2009 10:53 am  

St Helens v Harlequins RL 8pm
Ref S Ganson TJ P Brooke TJ D Griffiths IG G Towey IG S Tordoff RR R Cowling MC P Taberner.

Makes my mind up. Was trying to angle an "appointment" on Friday afternoon in the St Helens area......won't bother now!

Failure is a Wakey lad, Ganson a Saints Lad and we even got the frenchie when we played Les Catalans......what is going on?

Ganson is ok when reffing Saints, his "odd" decisions are usually evened out.

Don't get all this whinging about where ref's come from and why we should not be reffed by them, Catalans [a French side] get reffed by English refs nearly every week when the halibut isn't down for them, do they whinge? Celtic get reffed by English or French refs every single game, do they whinge?

It's not as if we have an unlimited supply of refs to pick and choose from is it.

Just find it odd that Harlequins Rugby League are the only team to be reffed by halibut against the French, Failure against his home town and now Ganson against his home town..........
Don't let reasoned argument get in the way of a decent conspiracy theory.

I agree with the both of you.
This whole who's the ref stuff has never bothered me but when you get three homer refs from four games it does stink.
How many pro refs are there? cuz even if it was just blind luck thats something like 216 to 1

Quins in 4th thats why, you watch we will have Thaler when we go to wakefield again.
