im a wakefield fan and agree we got all the 50 50 decisions today the try halibut dissallowed when blaymire tried to place the ball over the tryline to stop him being tackled behind his line was a complete joke would have been a try every day of the week for me

Thaler is clearly not up to Super League standard, he is incompetent and clearly has a lack of understanding towards the rules. It has been said before.

I await my fine.

Glad it's not just me who thought he was rubbish then.

It turns out now that his brother is actually a Wakefield fan.

That is a joke in itself and if you are a fan of any other sport looking in you'd find it quite unbelievable.

I don't have a problem with "home town" match officials.

I still believe that they are neutral regarding games.

But how 6 match officials can perform that badly as they did last night was either a one off, (every team has a bad day) or there are serious problems.

I would prefer to think it was a one off.

Send him down to us in the Championship. He'll be in good company because they're all gash down here.

So relatives of referees are not allowed to follow a team?

What does that matter?

I'm still confused by the decision Albert gave

If it was knocked on in the in goal area it would have been a drop out but still a try due to advantage
If it was a [idouble[/i tackle - Pen defence
If it was knocked on in the field of play - try -advantage gained

I cant see where he got scrum attack from- bizarre

Another one was when the ball was caught in goal having touched another player on route to the catcher but still in the air-Drop out under the sticks
In the Wire game something similar happened and when Briers challenged the decision it was given as a "tap 20".

My final "observation" was the hooter went at 79:30 on the sky clock

I couldn't care less they are new I just felt the decision was bizarre. The player lost the ball ie tried to keep it in the field of play whilst still in motion. You can tell me all you want the ball carrying arm touched the floor but he was still moving hence why the ball continued to travel backwards towards the in goal.

Unusual

Nail on head.

Tackle was complete and ball lost after.
100% Correct decision.
