Whilst I am not blaming him for today's result,( we have only ourselves to blame for that) I was wondering what our win stats are when he is in charge and do any other club have a particular Ref that they never seem to win with with such regularity?

No idea, I didn't think he was that bad to be honest.

No complaints about the referee today from either side. How it should be really.

Thought he hsd a good game, we on the other hand were gash

Thought you looked ok when you hung onto the ball. Too many errors cost you in the first half and the right side defence was shaky.

Dobson's v good for you, was impressed with his kicking.

This is getting silly. Both you and us are saying the referee had a good game. What's going on. It looks like we're both honest enough to say we lost because we weren't good enough on the day. Things have to change in both camps or the derby will be awful.

Agreed, but maybe we can both just blame the ref for the quality?

I'll certainly do that on derby day. It wouldn't do my street cred any good to admit you were better than us.

Just to add a bit off balance, there were plenty of Rovers fans who blamed Thaler for the defeat.

Thaler was as ever awful but i dont blame him for the defeat!

Didn't go, so cannot comment on his performance. He is, however the poorest ref in SL. I cannot recall him having a good game either when reffing us or when on Sky.

Good effort from Thaler awarding Kearneys try.
