Refs against rovers, injury problems blah blah blah

Imitation as flattery, yada, yada, yada.

8th is what we've got and 8th is what we deserve. Injuries are part of the sport and it is a squad game - I think the injuries we've had this year and last could be used in mitigation, when comparing CS to Morgan, but that's all. It's given players like Salter and Cox more opportunities, which helps squad depth.

Sandercock does lay it on with a trowel - creating realism to the point of despondency, sometimes. But there's no good image after a loss - I've seen Gentle's laid back, affable persona criticisized as too nice when Hull have lost.

On the refs - why we do so well under Hicks is in some ways as legitimate a question as why we do so poorly under Thaler. Though it is not quite so far from the overall W/L ratio and is a smaller number of games. But how often do fans 'credit' their team winning to a ref - they only ever get blame.
Just one of those things, I assume.

Historically Thaler was very anti Rovers, leading to the submission of a formal complaint to the RL over remarks he allegedly made, the outcome of which was never offically released.
However, since this complaint there has been a marked improvement, although most 50/50's go against you. Yesterday I thought he gave a reasonable performance and was not a major factor in the defeat.

Think I might do that next, look at the opposition, whether it was a home/away game etc but specifically look at Thalers figures

i`m sorry, but they know the guy has a chip on his shoulder for rovers , so they(kr) should do better to counteract that flaw and don`t give him a reason to penalise.... It`s the only way to beat a bias ref...

Priceless

Tragedy

widnes have scored more points than half of the teams in the top 8 so no real surprise that they beat you. Tough side on their own pitch

Surely all refs hate you as much as the others so this proves nothing

As Ben Thaler gone to the Queensland Cup? www.triplem.com.au/sydney/sport/ ... super-cup/

Which lot is that, why make assumptions because I post on this site.?

Generic. Because I've posted on Rovers forum, it relates to Rovers.

Why not post "Why would he go there when apparently it's Rovers he hates" As you quite rightly say you posted on Rovers forum as did I does that mean we are both supporters of the red & whites? I don't think so.

If its upsetting you so much I'll do just that. Let me know.
