Ben Failure thats the game ruined then.

At least Tony can plan for the refereeing, devil you know etc.

oh

FOL

How the hell has he been given that, the clueless biff.

Him and Silverwood again this weekend, why isn't Ganson getting a game?

Even with Ganson being from St Helens, i would prefer him than Thaler, the guys a clown. A game like this, it needs to flow and not be stop start. Ganson allows that, Thaler doesnt!!

There's always next year.

Ssssshhh, or they'll change it to Halibut ..... but then at least we could leave the kick 'til the 7th .....

After his performance in the wigan v leeds challenge cup semi it is quite remarkable that the rfl have given him a Qualifying semi for the Grand Final.

After his unbelievabley bad performance in France I should be amazed that he's got any more games this season. Should be amazed, but funnily enough I'm not!

Oh no! the guy is a buffoon! Did he ref the first play off game v Saints?....made us stand way behind the line when defending our own try line....the same bloke that then allowed Jamie Peacock to defend his try line stood IN the ruck area with his arm on a Catalan player.

Astonishing. Genuinely amazed at this.

well lets hope he has another bad game but all his *bad* decisions go our way

not a funking chance!

Sky have started advertising the week-end games.
You never know, we might get some people who haven't seen much of our sport, giving it a watch.
They'll turn on the game and think "who the hell is this pr1ck that's refereeing. I've only seen RU previously, and the rules can't be THAT different. I thought you couldn't pass the ball forwards, drop the ball forwards, hit people around the head"

Seriously, WTF are the powers that be doing, letting this Berk officiate in one of the most important games of the season.

TBH, I fear for both Warrington and Stains. Thaler shouldn't be anywhere near a rugby pitch. He's an accident waiting to happen.

Child should of ot it, or Ganson, there the best two in the league

Since when were the playoffs in April? Sadly the only fools are those at the RFL. Usually I am very tongue in cheek with the failures of the RFL, but... they dun goofed!

Another typical Cummings decision.

Probably will give Robert Hicks the Grand Final.

Thaler is bad, but I love ut when he have anybody but Silverwood.

Who do we have playing Quarter-Back v Saints?

At least we won't be like the Wigan fans and blame it on the ref / RFL conspiracy if we lose
