What are they supposed to do? Just let him run around and do what he wants?!

Red card absolutely the right call for that challenge. 2 game ban as well. 

Only in the opinion of the one eyed Keighley fans

The RFL disciplinary for Roden indicates a Dangerous Throw/Lift……. Grade D charge with a 2 Match Penalty Notice plus £40 fine.    Nothing yet for any other cases.

As I've said earlier in the thread, go back and pause the video at whatever minute I said, and tell me how it isn't a red card?! I presume all the panellist's that have banned him for 2 games are Keighley fans as well?

That was quick. Did we get preferential treatment ?

The club have stated they are appealing and there is a cost to an appeal I believe, so they must feel they have a strong case to appeal it.

I watched the game back on YouTube yesterday, and its never a red card. If you watch the footage yes his legs go above the horizontal but he lands on his arm / chest / side. Thaler clearly isn't sure and you see him take the view from his touch judge, who you can see tells him he landed on his head (which he didn't) as the camera is focused on them at this point. Thaler then gives him a red and says he landed on his head based on the view of a touch judge. 

Its a penalty for sure, possibly a yellow card at worst, but never a red.

Fingers crossed common sense prevails.

I'm not sure why it was so quick to be fair. I was wondering if it was due to it being a play off game and there not been the same number of games to asses? I'm guessing though.

The club have nothing to lose from an appeal (other than the money it costs to appeal) - As it stands Roden will miss potentially the 2 biggest games of the season, you may as well roll the dice and see if you can get a reduction.

Above the horizontal is the understatement of the century, his legs are almost completely vertical.

Possibly the softest “ spear tackle “ you’ll ever see. I had a good view of the incident and my initial thought was “ What a really good one on one tackle “. Roden isn’t the sort of player to try to injure an opponent. The speccies behind  the goals gave that, not the officials.  I see Thaler has called it a day, a week too late for us unfortunately.

No chance with the appeal. They won't embarrass Thaler

Spear tackle

I remember Thaler when he was a young ref disallowing 4 Hornets try’s for not grounding the ball in one game . Mind you, if memory serves me right, not a given these days unfortunately , it wax against Featherstone so probably not a surprise. I have thought of him as Bent Thaler ever since. The Rugby League will probably make him Head of Referees next

[glemiln]

Thaler has a new role with the RFL in the recruitment and development of match officials!

He will remain available as a video referee in a new role.

Yes it was against Feath, I’ve never seen anything like it. We still won but no thanks to the ref.
