The Bulls have every right to be spitting feathers about Gansongate'.

Having witnessed too many refereeing debacles at City recently, I can understand the fury surrounding the last-gasp try that should never have been.

How Steve Ganson could award Jordan Tansey's score straight away, when the Leeds substitute was clearly offside, and not even bother with the video official beggars belief.

But the prospect of a law suit against the RFL is surely taking things out of perspective.

Yes, it was desperately unfair; yes, it should not have happened. But to lodge formal objections, citing specific competition rules, risks going too far into the realms of sour grapes.

Instead of deserving the sympathy of everyone else in Super League, and that probably includes the Rhinos themselves, the Bulls could be seen as a bunch of bad-losing moaners.

As for the conspiracy theory that this was some kind of marketing ploy, then Kevin Sinfield should be in the circus if he could kick against a post like that on demand!

Ganson and Ashley Klein, who gave the penalty, have been dropped from Challenge Cup duty this weekend as punishment for the blunder, which knocked the shine off the Cardiff carnival.

Leeds have held up their hands and admitted they got lucky - and that should be the end of it. What will the Bulls achieve by relentlessly pursuing the RFL for justice?

The idea that they should be given the two points back on moral grounds, however noble that may be, went out with the ark and I'm sure, deep down, the Odsal players would be embarrassed if that did ever take place.

As Leeds said in their statement, Bradford will have another chance for the points when the sides meet yet again on June 29.

Steve McNamara, rightly let off by the authorities over his post-match rant, won't need to deliver a team talk that day.

Millennium Magic should have been a great advert for the game but has been totally overshadowed by one regrettable incident.

The fall-out does nobody any favours and there will be no winners from dragging it out any further.
