Thaler should have been stronger with Chris Hill.

He tried explaining things to Hill but he just showed a total lack of respect for the ref and just kept talking over him and arguing.

Do you mean Jamie Shaul, at hooker, have you gone stark raving mad?
There are so many reasons not to play him there, that includes tackling big blokes who he isn't used to doing and isn't one for getting his hands dirty on the defensive line.
He's fine where he is, yes he's not perfect but FB is his position and he does okay defensively. We put someone in a position to do a workload they're not used to and they will not perform as well as their normal position.
Too often we keep shuffling around when we have injuries, what's the point of a back up hooker if we aren't going to give them a chance even when the player in front is error strewn, slow and can't get to the tackle.

He was stepping into the hookers role when we were coming out of our half v Warrington. That's fine with me putting us on the front foot. That's all I'd want to see from shaul at hooker

I mentioned on another thread that he is being asked to do darts from dummy half since Houghton’s been out, so is getting clobbered by bigger players. Bound to have an effect on him but only my opinion.

There is a world of difference between taking some scoots out of DH and playing hooker.
