Sorry but the match officials performance in the Celtic /Wakey game was at best best appalling and a disgrace.


Now I accept that their decisions are sacrosanct but even I will not defend that!!

That did not do this game of ours any favours at all.


Yes!!! Leaguefan having a go at match officials but that really was bad.

I expect Mr Cummins to say a lot of that was wrong, but I wont hold my breath!!!

The RFL need to review hometown refs again, and as previously said Alibert should not be allowed to be the video ref.

I've never seen a team have as much bad luck as Celtic had in that game.

Yep, it felt like any try that the Crusaders would have been chalked off by Mr Alibert.

Did anyone hear Bentham right on half time of the Hull KR - Warrington game?

He stopped the clock (Clearly heard saying 'Time Off'), with 4 seconds to go, then the hooter went and he blew up for half time. Then when Warrington said he called time off, then he said he didn't. He clearly did.

Wasn't that full time?

that was full time, wire packed down bentham signalled "time off" with 4 seconds to go, then the hooter went, was the timekeepers mistake not the match officials

I*m afraid that is what happens when you are bottom of the league,,hopefully they can turn it around in the weeks to come.

you sure it was not just lucky wakey...

tbf if the game had been close then i think the Celtic fans would have justification for being annoyed that idiot in the VR room should not be allowed to officate under 8s rugby a totally incompetent

Wakey had some luck tonight

Wes is not happy

Correct it was. Don't know why i put half time.

It was the correct decision by him. He doesn't control timekeeping, the time keepers do, and AFAIK there is nothing in the rules that allows him to overrule them

I was stunned by some of the decisions made by Thaler on the field and would go as far as saying he has a dislike for Crusaders.

He seems to enjoy upsetting the players and fans alike.

Smug grin on his face all game.

Hope he never refs us again and hope the rfl have a look at the hometown ref thing.

Make no mistake we were $hite but the ref and VR only compounded matters. Once again Thaler was the biggest tw@ out there.
