I missed most of the pre game chat, but their was something mentioned about the Batley game, and had i5 been a different ref, the result might have been different, not really sure how but hey.
So only summising but maybe the RFL thought the game against Dewsbury would be close so they made a decision to put an experienced full time ref on to stop the complainers, it actually worked in Dewsbury favour in this game.
What’s the problem? Ben Thaler goes out nad Refs community games!
