Really gets the goose bumps going does that! Can't believe it was back in 2016.

The referee on Sunday is Thaler which I don’t mind despite him coming back from a demotion just like the one against Leeds.

We usually struggle with Thaler as a ref as his mum is a Trinity fan so he has extra pressure to prove to be neutral - though I do trust him for honesty more than most

Thaler was he the ref who told the vido ref when he awarded a try to Catalans ,that it was the wrong call and got suspended .What every happens on Sunday think he is one of the better ones

Always thought we’ve done well out of him on the occasions he’s reffed us. What son would want to upset his mum eh?

Said on the RL site he'd been "rested"

Ben is a trinity fan himself Kyassor and attends games as a fan when he isn`t reffing (Either that or his mum just drags him along )

For me Thaler is the best ref in the league by a country mile, just a fan of how he referees the game in general and I think he knows how to keep control of the game.

That said, I actually think Hicks and Childs have improved over the last year and I don`t think Moore is as bad as he was, it`s tough for them with constantly changing rules.

I’ve never seen him at a game, where does he sit/stand?

My son did a referees course and Ben was his mentor and he said that Trinity were his local team and he wanted them to do well and had watched them occasionally but he wasn’t a fan, not even before he was ref.

My lad didn’t become a ref but that wasn’t Thalers fault.

Yes, I heard something similar. Yet apparently his brother is also a Trinity supporter.
Maybe Ben knew he had to be impartial from a young age!
