Avoiding Liam moore is massive

Dead right,I’ve a soft spot for Thaler and Hicks to be fair,best of them for my money

Same with thayler

I liked Thaler as a referee but that was a truly awful display last night. Saints could lie on all night as far as he was concerned - he missed Roby's knock-on that nearly cost us a try - missed (or ignored) virtually every high shot and really insultingly, when Roby pulled (can't remember who's) leg when he got up to play the ball, Thaler did a 'dive' mime - the sort of thing that if a player did it, would be a penalty. Really poor refereeing.

Visited the dark side, ( the red V forum ) this morning for a bit of light relief and they are saying the exact same thing about Thaler. They don’t think he should ever ref them again. What l think upset them most was Wigan actually got some 50 / 50 decisions last night and they aren’t used to it.

I didn't think Thaler was too bad last night; he was a bit lax on lying on etc I agree, but maybe in the interests of letting the game flow... The unpunished ankle pull on Marshall (?) was a pen all day long, and a poor decision.

Robys in the refs ear constantly and not one ref has the balls to stand up to em ,the game is reffed for the armchair viewer not those on the terraces

I thought Thaler had a decent game last night
He kept pinning saints back and wouldn’t let them try their usual tactics
There were a few minor incidents but overall I thought he let the game flow unlike I’m on telly and I want to be noticed Kendall and child
