A difficult one for the RFL: Ganson bailed until October. Do they keep him out on the field or put him on gardening leave? It can't be good for his game-head if he has this hanging over him.

Permanent video ref duty might be more appropriate than gardening.

After having my last post deleted, I can presume Ganson won't be the Wembley referee? Right booking Wembley trip now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give the Final to Betham, good performance at Semi, lets hope he doesn't get invited to any parties involving 87 yr old women.....

The RFL need to deal with this in a serious manner.
Before people start shooting me down i know the law of the land is innocent until proven guilty.
My concern surrounds the individual who was arrested and issued with a fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly last year.He is now involved in a separate supposed drink fuelled incident less than twelve months later.
The common trend here is ALCOHOL.
Alot of high profile professions would now take a stand and put him on gardening leave.
The RFL need to sit him down and give it to him straight.
Something along the lines of "You are employed by us and this is how it is going to be".
If it turns out to be true that he was steaming in the early hours of a cup semi then is it any wonder that the video ref often makes mistakes.
Lastly i think he is our best referee but he needs to take a serious rain check and think about the situations he is allowing himself to get into.

Time to lock this, I think, before anyone says something they might later regret and to reduce the pressure on moderators having to keep a constant eye on it.
