Ben Thaler : Sun Jun 16, 2019 2:35 pm  

2 huge mistakes so far.
1. Knock on by Leigh in first minute as we attack was clearly not touched by a Leigh player.
2. Matt Costello manages to not be tackled in goal and Bradfords 24 clearly punches the ball put of his carry arm after the tackle is made by 3 players. Clear penalty to Leigh. Thaler gives a knock on.

Has also missed a crystal clear obstruction with Bradford on attack and some howling offsides.

Otherwise, so far so good.
Unfortunately we are helping him with our aweful discipline. We are clearly the better team so far just cut out the silly stuff and keep tackling......
Oh damn not quite quick enough with the last comment. They just went the length of the field

Re: Ben Thaler : Sun Jun 16, 2019 2:37 pm  

And now misses a clear forward pass that they fortunately duffed with a poor kick

Re: Ben Thaler : Sun Jun 16, 2019 2:42 pm  

And again. Hock does not knock on. The ball is clearly pulled loose by Bradford with 2 in the tackle, AND does not travel forward at any point regardless.

I give up !
Now he gives an obstruction against us that was no issue.
Last comment from me on this or I'll miss the game typing !

Whilst he may have missed both ways I dread to think what would have happened with a Ch referee.

He'll have got most of the decisions right. It was clear pretty early on that he was going to be harsh on defenders for hands on the ball, messing around at the ruck. But we kept on offending. The half time score could've been a lot different, with their bombed chance at 6-2, and the breakaway try on the hooter.

Brian Barwick was at the game, he was trying to impress him by being strict.

Re: Ben Thaler : Mon Jun 17, 2019 7:37 pm  

We had him earlier in the season and he made a point about back chat and yet still players opened their mouths.

He can be a bit stop-start regards play, mainly until players get used to his calls but I find him to be consistent and even handed for both teams.

I didn’t see Barwick, but most definitely saw Rimmer.
