As mentioned, Ganson being VR at his hometown club, firstly giving a controversial no try decision against Wigan and then giving a try to Wellens when he was clearly short.

Re: First home town referee to officiate and what happens?
I agree with you that the refs did us no favours. However we were beat for several reasons. These are not in any particular order but they are as folows:-
1]Our pack was out musceled and out played by the part time props at St Helens
2]We gave away to many panalties through shear stupidity,the ones for lying on were very hard to accept. But the offside ones were even more stupid we try to gain a yard and give away 20 following a penalty
3]Our play the ball following a Saints tackle must rank the slowest in super league
4]WE WERE OUT-ENTHUSED AT EVERY MINUTE OF THE GAME. When we were walking back from a score or forming a scrum you could be forgiven for thinking it was us that was in the lead and we were trying to run the clock down
5]POOR DEFENCE We must of missed more tackles than an under 10 amature Sunday league team.
I could go on but I won't because my hearts breaking

Always had the VR situation... and being a home-town ref doesnt mean you support the club. Who'd support Wakefield?

The best form of defence is attack!!
Out of the black and into the red, remember you don't get anything for two in a bed!!
