SATURDAY 4TH APRIL
Carnegie Challenge Cup
Harlequins RL v Huddersfield Giants 3pm
Ref B Thaler TJ T Roby TJ RJ Stokes IG P Stockman IG C Neilson RR J Cadogan MC J Connolly

He was useless 2 weeks ago and we get him again against the same opponents

Biased i know but i think Thaler has been one of the better ones this season. Didnt call many penalties at all but was even with it and the game seemed to flow better because of it.

As bad as failure can be, I got the impression (from reports of course, I wan't there) that he wasn't too bad and the fact we were hammered was down to combination of us being pants and the gnats being on fire.
Still, I will always believe eye witness accounts and therefore join in your chorus of Booooos

Altogether now:

We love Ben Failure...

I think Thaler was rubbish two weeks ago, the only reason we haven't made too much fuss is that even if he would have had a Quins RL shirt on we would have still lost.

Still, can't go into a match with a negative attitude already, let just make sure we are very loud with our offside and forward shouts, seeings as this is how to win penalties/posession these days

Not my fav Ref, along with alot of Quins fans. But just incase he's reading this forum and post. welcome back to the Stoop my dear chap,do enjoy your day with us in Sunny London, in fact why not make a weekend of it with the Wife/girlfriend and take in some of the wonderful sites of this fair Capital of ours. Or if you are married and have kids why not look at the offer of going to Chessington as well for a day out.





But if he aint reading this, well i always get the feeling hes quick to blow if we dont get off the player in the tackle and allows the other side a skinny 10 yards.

...what a silly and sad lot you are. It's totally pointless, maybe even counter productive, slaging, complaining etc about the Ref.

Get a life, perhaps even better take a Ref. course and if you pass - which for the majority of you is very, very unlikely - see how you like being shouted and abused by fans like you lot.

i would be rejoicing if I were you, it's a well known fact ben thaler is a homer (yes I did spell that correctly!

)

We've been stitched up countless number of times by him away from home, this season and last but whenever we have had him at home everyone (in the home crowd) has gone home satisfied. I don't think you'll be disappointed and I've a feeling you'll beat hudds this time despite the thrashing last time. you re a far better side at home

He doesn't favour the home team at the Stoop, I can reassure you of that.

To be honest after seeing his display at the Goat Farm two weeks ago I'm glad I'll be at a wedding for this one...
