Quote: Alphabetti Spaghetti Go! "Its nowt to do with balls, this outburst (reminiscent of his post-match reaction at Whitehaven in 2006) does him no credit whatsoever. There is a time & a place for these statements, and its not in front of the press.
It just looks like sour grapes, and lumps him with Phil Brown in the bad loser stakes.'"
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?
well I never
