You tend to find that as most refs become less star struck as their experience grows. In the end the endless gamesmanship employed by certain top players backfires and the refs end up detesting them.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Thaler has been suspended because some Coach at a ‘top’ club has moaned that he isn’t leaning towards them as much as he should.
Only Klien never seemed to change, he hated us from start to finish.
That PT was not speculation it was an opinion, one I stick by. Some coaches have a well documented history of complaining directly to the Controller of Refs after defeats where they feel they were treated unfairly, it’s in the public domain. Most seem to come from ‘top’ clubs and are more often than not Aussies.
Tbf I bet CC would like to do the same but is savvy enough to know that nobody would take him seriously, not with that accent!
