Ben Thaler this round.

woo-hoo my favourite

I actually find him to be one of the better refs. Not afraid to consult touch judges either.

The 2 worst refs in SL are Alibert, by a country mile, followed by Smith. After that they are all fairly similar and range from awful to decent depending on what mood they are in.

Alibert is comical, but his randomness does generally even out over 80 mins. I'm always pleased to get Bentham or even Ganson is okay. Silverwood only is only a problem, IMO, if you are up against a perceived 'big club', but as the cap sees their numbers decline it is less of a problem. Childs was very good on Friday. I find it hard to assess Thaler dispassionately, he might be a good ref normally, but if he never had another HKR game, I wouldn't be sorry.

The thing about Ganson is,he seems to be spot on most of the time,as the telly replays show.He doesn`t truck idiots either.

Still think he`s a prat though.

Same here..

The bloke is an absolute idiot

i take it he's reffed one of your recent games

To be honest he's reffed us once this season and we lost 30-0 but he had a reasonable game that day. It's his previous with us that makes him an idiot!!

If he had a reasonable game he has clearly developed area's of his performance





So if he refs you again and has a good game is he still an idiot?

We all have our opinions. Rovers fans seem quite happy with Child but Leeds are not as impressed
