No wonder you think that. Personally I thought he was totally inadequate, he ruined what should have been a good game by his complete inability or interest to police the offside rule.

Our players were knackered from a tough game on the Friday night and your players being consistantly offside didn't help their energy levels much. Can't fault your boys for exploiting that though.


Thaler was p*ss poor, Rovers were knackered, Huddersfield were good. That's about it.

Not according to Justin after that game and before the Hudds game you weren't. In fact he was bragging about how well rested you were.

Not to mention all the Rovers fans who claimed that Friday's win was easy.

It was, in fact it always is.

Have you thought that JM may have already done this in the past and got the usual reaction of the referee's (e.g 'lets look the other way and protect our own' and let's be honest here they do have previous).
IF that is the case what else is JM supposed to do?

I've seen one of Stuart Cummins "explanations" about an event at Catalans in 2007 to know he's simply not fit for purpose of his role - he is absolutely deplorable and in that context, Justin Morgan was right, especially when there is a player safety element involved with "referring" by Thaler.

So, when Mr Morgan talks about Mr Thaler missing forward passes, I can now agree.

I've just watched SLTV [[url=http://www.superleague.co.uk/page.php?id=626:3nlwgn88HKR v Giants tries[/url and Mr Morgan must be talking about the one leading to your first try.

2nd phase Ivor

How far forward was that beauty

pm me and i will be more than happy to post you a copy of the game, along with mr thaler and mr cummings.

What are you saying? Thaler missed a forward pass

well I never

Thaler needs posting a lot further away than Huddersfield

Instead of blameing the Officials why dont you blame the people who are to blame,your players and Coaches.

Why don't you learn how to read before you post? Just a suggestion...

He could learn to spell as well

anyone got a copy of the game then cos i wanna see what rovers fans were bleating about for 74 minutes before they went home

It nothing to do with sour grapes as you have commented above. In over a 42 years of watching rugby league i have witnessed some bad as well as good referees, they have a tough job and you expect them to make mistakes now and then, just like anyone else they are only human, but i have to say this guy Thaler is, in my opinion one of the worst on a consistent basis.
If a person makes a mistake in their job of work they would try to do better next time and make sure it did not happen again, if they continued to make mistakes, they would be given a warning and and eventualy dimissed or moved to a lesser position, why should referees be any differnt?.
Justin Morgan has continualy gone through the right channels in the past when making a complaint, as have many other coaches,but more often than not, they come up against a brick wall and usualy nothing happens to the official in question.
Somebody had to have the guts to openly question a referees performance at some point, otherwise it will be just like groundhog day, we will just keep on going over the same ground time and time again,making official complaints but, them falling on deaf ears at Red Hall.
Just for your information, Justin morgan has gone on record as saying how well most of the referees have improved this season and has aplauded them on many occasion. However like i have already hinted, imo one or two of the current SL referees are not up to Super league standard and its about time the RFL had the guts to listen to the coaches and the fans concerns regarding these particular referees and their under par performances, it can only benifit the game as a spectacle in the future and at the end of the day,thats all we all want, a good game of rugby league with a competent consistent style of refereeing. Is it to much to ask the RFL?

Its sour grapes you lost we won the reff was ok ,your coach will be fined and rightly so, because what he should have done was to rant at the players for loosing and not look for excusess ie lets blame the reff.

Well said BOYD2

If badly spelt

Carnt spell,but i can play,

With yourself?

And 16 others

Do you find the grapple tackle an effective tackle?
I wondered after seeing the highlights of Hudds/Celtic on boots n all when Lupton went over for Celtics last try he had a hudds player literally hanging round his neck


And they wonder why they are complained about

Dont know kid never done one ,but what we have done is beat all these teams fair and square,but small minded people like your coach and a few others detract from fact that they were beaten by a better ,fitter, and stronger team so move on ,carnt wait till you come to the pharm for another smashing.
