He's been the best ref in SL this year. He won't deliberately impact on the game, he'll call what he sees, correct or otherwise. Someone has to ref and they will make mistakes. The players will ultimately decide who wins.

In fact, thinking about it, Leeds have a bit of a younger team than us. Shame we couldn't get Mr Thomason to ref the game, he could've maybe given 2 or 3 of the Rhinos young lads a slap.

How come sir Kev isn't reffing? A very odd decision

Refs don't really win or lose you games fans seem to concentrate on what goes against them and turn a blind eye when a wrong decision goes for them we all do it and I agree Thaler has been the best red this season

No doubt he'll try to at some point

One of Thalers strong points is he can diffuse potentially volatile situations, by jumping in between the miscreants, pulling them apart and then reading them the riot act. This, in such a vital and emotionally charged game could be pivotal and the difference between a team winning and losing.

Freudian slip? Do you know something those of us in Blue and Amber don't?

When I heard talk that Cockayne may not be in the 17 I thought he'd got the gig. He can gab that lad.

I just remembered the cheating little turd let Danny McGuire's try stand at our place which more or less cost us against Leeds at our place 1st game of the season (it was all thalers fault and nothing to do with the other 34 points we conceded)
