Wasnt it Daniel Anderson who continually complained about a particular referee and in the end the RFL decided to never appoint this ref for any Saints game?

Maybe that was in Justins thinking.

Don't agree.

Using the press to air grievances towards match officials is unprofessional. I like Morgan he is an astute coach and very articulate, but his post match rant at Thaler was poor.

Might work for Saints, but I expect a more than average number of our games given to Thaler for the rest of the season.

He is a poor referee, even on the televised games I have watched him in. I did notice one thing yesterday about him, when the fans were getting 'irate' enough for a tannoy announcement to be made, he looked over and grinned, a more mature and professioinal referee would not have reacted in any way at all. Maybe he has an ego and needs to be the centre of attention, in which case a public demotion to the National Leagues might curb it a bit.

............but accurate.

I agree if it is a regular occurance however it isn't

Once is too much imo.

You seem to be quite content to have poor standards of refereeing. If the RFL don't act this is what happens through frustration.

Not at all.

Referees will always make mistakes.

Agreed, we have all fell foul of poor decisions as well as been the beneficiaries of them, but my point about yesterday is that it was his LACK of decisions that made it a poor performance, its all well and good to have a game 'flow' but if that means you totally ignore the rules, then we could save money and not bother having officials at all. I am a great believer in letting the game settle and the ref to give a few warnings, but not to totally ignore rules altogether, which seemed the case yesterday.

You sir are an idiot, its one thing to accept you were beaten by the better side on the day, but to have the defeat compounded by a totaly inept and incompetent display by a referee who imo should be demoted to the lower leagues, as he simply is not up to super league standard.
Honestly speaking, he is in my top ten worst referees in 41 years of watching rugby league.

Stan Wall apart, Thaler is the worst.

very poor that.mayeb he didnt shake hands with any rovers players cos they had all disappeared down the tunnel?

i can honestly say it became tiresome after about 30 minutes of listening to the rovers fans boo, scream and wail at everything!
surely if we were breaking the rules and throwing 20 forward passes(

) then a professional referee would penalise us for it?
i hope your club does put in a complaint because then maybe it will stop any referee in future allowing the home fans to try and influence his decisions
