Well if that's his decision so be it, however I would ask why he had no problem reffing us for several years and what made him decide to stop.

Well, move it on to Child then.
I mean, they're supposed to be professionals and be completely dispassionate.
If they're not, do we say Child is being just a bit too anti Wakey to avoid the same accusation.
He doesn't have any qualms about reffing wakey games despite being born in the city, leaves himself open to it.
Thaler is the best ref we have, if he cant ref dispassionately, we're in trouble.

| I seem to remember DC tweeted about Ben Thaler reffing more in Denver than Belle Vue?
Mc “Statto time. Since July 2014, Ben Thaler has referree’d more games in Denver, Colorado, then he has regular Super League games involving Wakefield Trinity “

| I quite like Hewitt?? But we only get him once a year.
You know what I think PB - I think it’s the Wakefield syndrome. In the same default way that we only beat teams who are playing badly I reckon it’s the same with refs, I think that consciously or otherwise it is the default reaction of any losing coach to assume the ref was poor and complain about them. So in the end nobody wants to ref us because it’s to much hassle. Just a thought.

| I'll take any ref, they're just blokes like me and you, non of them are out to be biased towards one team over another, they're all human and thus make mistakes, some more than others but they're just as likely to fux it up for the opposition as us.
Luck and the chaos theory have more influence over a game than which side of the bed the ref got out of that morning.

He refs where the controller of refs tells him to. Perhaps we should be asking Steve Ganson why we never seem to get Ben Thaler.

| 19 games played - James Child reffed 8 of them, Kendall reffed 4, Hewer 3, Hicks and Moore 2 each. Not a single refereeing appearance for Thaler, Bentham, Mikalauskas or Smith in any of Wakey's games.

It is "Fifita" not "Fafita"
If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.
Sharing First World problems so you can get it right first time.

Bentham has been injured for a few months after a collision with Chris Houston. Latest rumour is that he'll be back at some point for the 8s.
Smith went part time last year and is mainly linesman for SL games and refs the odd Championship match.
That aside over the last 2 years there does feel to be a heavier weighting in appearances to Child and Kendall. The RFL should monitor this more closely to ensure an even balance.
In recent times I'd welcome Hicks back. Although this year I think Hewer and Moore have been the best refs I've seen at Wakey matches. None get everything right.

Yep, he has been allocated Batley vs Leigh.
