Haha, yeah that could start getting old.

Don't like Silverwood but heis the best of a bad lot , Can't have Thaler , Child is still the worst along with his sidekick

Thaler is the best of a poor bunch IMO. He was brilliant in tough circumstances during our game against Leeds at the magic weekend and usually let's the games flow.

L.O.L

Or did you mean to say Thaler was brilliant for Wigan at magic weekend when he totally bottled it

I reckon we have a pretty good set of refs at the moment.
I’d say the best two are Silverwood and Thaler, but I think Thaler has come on a bunch, and so he gets my vote.

For the wooden spoon, I don’t think any of the rest are “poor”, so it would be unfair to vote for “the worst”.

Whatever happened to Halibut.

Retired after his seven tackle count incident.

I can't think of any ref that doesn't consistently produce inconsistency in their interpretations and come up with poor decisions every week.

Now in charge of referees in France

Same here. Worst set of refs in years.

Always liked Thaler for last few years, but has become far too lenient in games and loses control.

Silverwood is a joke, as is Hicks.

Think Child has improved immensely from previous, and could end up a good ref next year. Bentham was awful earlier in season, but over last few weeks been fairly impressed with him.

Personally I think Thaler is the best ref by a distance. He seems to create a good relationship with the players on the pitch.

I'd agree with Gotcha re Child. He has improved a huge amount.

My biggest problem is still inconsistency from the refs. I understand that it's incredibly quick and they have literally hundreds of decisions to make every game but it's not the one off decisions that may be right or wrong with the benefit of viewing a replay but the interpretations, both at the play the ball and whether it was stolen/knock-on.

When they're full time those interpretations should be nailed down by the refs during pre-season.
As should how the refs use their touch judges and the VR. There's too much variance on how they're used.
