Thaler in Leeds Charity Match Shocker : Fri Jan 29, 2010 9:36 pm  

Couple (or more) shocking decisions by Thaler to gift Leeds the game. Been trying to get some southerners interested in RL and I'm a little embarrassed by this TBH.

That last try to Lautiti was a joke, if the officials can't get decisions right when theres little to no pressure on them, what the hell are they going to be like at getting it right if it's a match decider with heaps of pressure on them.

I thought the worst thing about tonight was Leeds constant holding down, I know all side's do it, but Leeds were really taking the p!ss tonight and Thaler just let them get away with it all night.

JJB does a lot, especially. Bailey struck out at a grounded player but nothing was done.

Leeds got some beltin decisions from Thaler all night.

Thats what happens when you start to dominate the game though and refs get a little overawed by you especially when you've got a group of players that put pressure on the ref at every opportunity.

Bad all round from Thaler, but that Lautiti try was perverse! Nearly spat my beer out in the pub seeing that given!

Hmm, not too sure myself. There were a couple that went Leeds' way at the end of the game but in all honesty I thought he gave Crusaders a fair bit of leeway around the play the ball. If the same thing happened next week I'd be furious.

Be interesting to see if they can back that up next week.

True.

It will be very interesting to see if Crusaders can keep it up next week, they do have some new arrivals expected next week also (if rumours are to be believed). If they keep up the same commitment and enthusiasm shown last night through out the season they'll certainly win alot more than 3 games and avoid heavy scorelines.

I do expect Wigan to put 20+ on them next week though.

Anyone else who seen the match get flashbacks to last year with the way the Crusaders played the game?
