Quote rover49="rover49"
The policing of the Hudds defensive line was at best incompetent, they were offside at 90% of all the plays, so much that Crabtree managed to get to the first receiver as he caugt the ball, which makes him quicker than Usain Bolt.
I also estimate at least 20 forward passes, including two in the build up to Wilds try, how they were missed was unbelieveable. JM said on Humberside that the officiating was diabolical, I personally thought it was so biased it was bordering on cheating by Thaler. Why the hell was Robinson not sent off for his professional fould on Cooke, we have seen a minimum of sin-binning for this most of the time.
Thaler is a disgrace, I hope the club put in a strong protest to the RFL, he is also a coward, he left the field after shaking the hands of the some Hudds players and never attempted to do the same for any Rovers player.'"

Thaler is bad, he and Bentham are not good enough at this level by a long way,
Its about time the RESPECT was reciprical, the RFL show none to the fans or players by churning out sub-standard referees.'"
Quote rover49="rover49"I hope someone buys the match DVD and puts it on Youtube so you can all see how shocking Thaler was.
He is a poor referee, even on the televised games I have watched him in. I did notice one thing yesterday about him, when the fans were getting 'irate' enough for a tannoy announcement to be made, he looked over and grinned, a more mature and professioinal referee would not have reacted in any way at all. Maybe he has an ego and needs to be the centre of attention, in which case a public demotion to the National Leagues might curb it a bit.
Thaler was an embarrassment to decency in refereeing, he was so biased it was sickening.
