Heard a couple of things could be ballocks but you never know with our sport:

1. He's been match-fixing, using a family member to bet on games he's been reffing.

2. Someone mentioned on another forum that the NRL had sent some Australian referees across for some experience and he's been saying stuff he shouldn't have.

If he does get found guilty of match-fixing for example, won't Leeds vs Hull FC have to get replayed? I hope nothing comes about cause I've said for years Thalers's been the best referee in Super League.

I really can't see it being a match-fixing issue.... (I'd be amazed, and massively disappointed, obviously)
I reckon Thaler has been the standout ref for years, despite what some may say on here.

I hope not either because I agree he's been the most consistent referee for years and you look at his interaction with players on the pitch he has a good relationship with them.

I hope so we need to get back to winning ways after yesterday

If anyone is guilty of match fixing the Hull v Leeds game its Leeds' defence not Thaler lol.

100% this.

It’s not match fixing, but I think we should leave this here and let the RFL deal with it appropriately.

We get told not to spread rumours on here and then someone mentions match fixing

Another thing aswell, if people are saying leave it, then why was it thrown to the media and they were then allowed to publish it everywhere! People are now going to be curious and wonder if it had an impact on past games naturally!

Exactly

Could be whistle blowing.

Two things -
the reports suggest it was an incident that happened before the weekend of the Leeds-Hull game; if it was match-fixing or something like that there is no way he would have been allowed to take control of another game.

the fact that he wasn't given a game last weekend seemed to be missed somewhat but for him to miss this weekend as well was already beginning to raise questions so the RFL couldn't ignore the matter any further.

With things in the media having caused a number of celebrities and people to take their own lives in recent weeks / years, I’m going to lock this thread.

Think so
