Had MM been put on report the outcome could have been the same ban-wise but that isn't the point either.
The reaction of Ganson is akin to what you would have expected from a Saints fan not an official. Oh wait a minute....
Many incedents are available via video footage including Gaz Hocks gouging offence.
The fact that Carl Abblett was not banned for the very same offence when it was also available to the RFL on video footage is not a weakness by the RFL it is purely corruption.
Abbletts finger ends were in the blokes eyes, and it beggars belief how the RFL can simply ignore this but yet they choose to.
Whilst I agree with the sentiments of each poster.Can I ask how many of you who are vocal on this forum do anything about redressing the balance.Re Yorkshire led bias.I often email both Scummins and the Rfl on a regular basis.One reply was forth coming from Scum but alas none from the other scum that is the Rfl.Scums response was so banal it really need not have been responded to at all.So I suggest that you do as I do and become more vocal by email rather than from the terrace.Alas a majority voice will no doubt be ignored as is my minority one.

I always use this email address for the attention of Scum enquiries@rfl.uk.com hope your luckier than me.
The higher up you go in an organisation the more you become aware just how corrupt those in key positions truly are. You even become part of it by keeping quiet.

I used to Kooch, but eventually I gave up wasting my valuable time.

Very good point.
Rugby League is up there with Whippet racing in respect to media coverage down here in darkest Essex but surely this gets picked up in your local media? I've been following the reaction to this latest and perhaps most blatant injustice (in the context of the next 3 games) with some interest. Corruption is a strong word to use but the evidence seems to continue to pile up, one would think that some local journalist would see the opportunity to put together a piece on this. Obviously they would have to be careful but presenting the inconsistencies is not a crime, has this ever happened? I’d be interested to know if rival supporters you guys speak to see it the same way or just accuse Wigan supporters of whingeing.
Whilst it no doubt helps the individual to whack an email off to the RFL this ‘corruption’ will best be tackled by press interest until then I fear more nights of throwing beer at my TV.
