Good result all round, joint top with a game in hand.
Have to disagree there. Ganson also gave a drop out claiming the FB had touched the ball in goal (he hadn't) and from the resulting set of six saints got a converted try. Two big decisions wrong and we would be livid if they were given against us.
Poor from Ganson and while I'm at it somebody really needs to get Eddie Hemmings off the TV adn replace him with Wells/Carney etc. He is just awful and I get the impression that even Stevo is getting sick of him as well! the amount of waffle he comes out with is frankly embarrassing.
Ganson: The penalty he awarded to allow Saints to reach 24 all was IMO a penalty, much as I didn't want it to be.
The Hull player took out the Saints player in the air, and didn't look to be challenging for the ball.
Some other mistakes were made throughout, but all in all, we have seen far worse reffing this year, and Hull should have won, but them not doing wasn't really Ganson's fault.

sorry but after rewatching this game, especially the "taking the man out in the air" he was clearly challenging for the ball, both players were airborn at the time, hull were quite simply robbed of 2 points.
Ganson obviously came out at half time paniking that his home town team were about to be embaressed and put on his stains shirt,
on a side, puletula(?) this man is a freek, wouldnt mind him on our team when were 10mts out, gadjet arms or what???
I could see why Ganson gave the penalty, at first viewing it looked a bit dodgy. On the replays though it seemed clear to me that Washbrook went up challenging for the ball and they just collided. The fact that he ended up on the floor and the saints man landed on top of him showed he wasn't trying to take him out and his eyes seemed to be on the ball.
All the moaning and blaming of referees is a bit sad at the minute. There'll always be mistakes and the teams who can take the ref out of the equasion are the ones with the mental strength to win comps. Agar has had a pop at a few refs recently and all that is doing is putting the idea into his players heads that it's not all on your own shoulders and that is encouraging a weak mentality. After all, if they could catch the ball from the kick off they'd never have been in that position, yet all people are talking about is the ref. Sad.
Not sure what game you lot watched!
Ganson was just plain awful!!!!
He was pro Hull in the first half and pro Stains in the 2nd in the end the ref's neglegence evened out, the only loser was Rugby League because he was utter dreadful!
Was I happy with a draw? OH YES, that may have some bias though seeing as I had a bet on it being a draw! !
Watched the stainsv hull Tackle before the first Hull try Roby isde on below the knees blatent attack much more deliberate than any from Lima. Now fair is fair it has to be two,

after the penalty, both Carney and Clarke were going mad saying it was never a penalty and he challenged for the ball.
Eddie just said "well i give Ganson 10 out of 10 for that decision.
Then when Eastmonds drop kick was blocked and he had to turn to re-gather, he screams " well done Kyle Eastmond, he's stopped what could have been a match wiining try for Hull".
He should be impartial, and just comentating on the match. He's more biased than Ganson.
Haha yes Eddie is very biased and IMO losing it a little, I have always got by listenening to him but this year he seems to be well i dont know but his head isnt in it, he aint remembering players names hes calling players different names hes biased and a sham to listen too.
Never thought id say this but Stevo is actually doing a good job this year.
Not sure what everbodies thoughts are but Carney, Stevo and McDermott would make a good team!
