Feel sorry for Wakefield. Can’t fault their effort in this game. Hull fc though look as bang average as normal and no threat to the big 2 of Saints and Wigan

Hi wrenners Ben Thalers mum here

can't help but notice your comment regarding the difficulty the ref had in real time recognising the foul by the FC player, not sure what's changed your mind over the weekend, but you were adamant at the time that the ref was as much to blame as Kendall the video ref, and in your opinion Thaler should have dealt with the incident much sooner, would you care to comment on your change of mind.

Thanks for the interest Mrs Thaler, I'm touched by your concern



It would have been interesting if the game had not been televised, whether the ref or his assistant (linesman in old money) would have seen or done anything about the incident.

Primarily, I'm more concerned that one of Trinity's youngsters is going to be missing some game time after "swallowing" the FC player's shoulder.

Of course it matters, if it was deliberate, the punishment would of been more severe, an instant red, or a four match ban today, we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

Had the game not been televised then the FC player would not have been suspended, Thaler clearly did not see the incident as he was as per usual up with play, and without the luxury of eyes in the back of his head would rely on the touch judge for assistance which in this instance was not available, not sure what your agenda is here fella as one minute your attacking Thaler for poor refereeing, and the next your defending him.

I have no agenda here, other than young Jowitt being injured by a late hit and Trinity being left without a FB.
It should have been a red card. Hope that's ok with you ?
