been ok at leeds.there have been far worse than him.suppose we all have bad days. i just think the overall standard isn't great

As much as I agree if Morgan felt hard done by a refs performance he has every right to voice his opinion I have to admit I don’t agree with it in regards to Thyler.

I actually commentated after the Wigan vs Saints game that I though he had an excellent performance that night and let the game flow which is more than can be said of other whistle happy refs in the league.

Like you said guess we all have bad days but at least we can admit it compared to ref’s who according to the RFL never put a foot wrong and are backed to the hilt.

He cant go round slagging the refs off they got beaten 30- 08 surley the ref didnt miss the tackles that lead to some of the trys, ok fair enough the fans can slag the ref off on here but the coach in a post match interview is wrong, expect a letter from RFL and a £300 fine.

that annoys me.greg mcallum used to admit the ref had made an error,they had discussed it and hopefully it wouldn't happen again. no problem for me.
under cummings the most obvious mistake he says the ref was right. he makes himself look stupid

Huddersfield deserved their win but the ref was shocking, this is what Morgan is trying to say.

He's not blamed the referee for our defeat (we lost because we were pretty bad). He's raised a seperate issue of the poor standards we have to put up with week after week from certain officials.

Like I've said a few times, if I was as bad at my job as some of these "professional" referees are at theirs, I'd get sacked immediatley.

Morgan claimed, allowing their opponents to get away with "blue murder"

Giving constructive criticism is one thing, insinuating a referee was bias is something completely different. Any validity he had in his claim is overshadowed by quotes like that.

Morgan is clearly a sore loser, this is all it boils down to.

He can say whatever he wants. All this 'don't criticise the refs', etc. is laughable.

He made a couple of major errors in that game - which is allowable, I guess, as long as he learns from them...e.g. in future dont shout "play on" when you mean "tackled", simple things like that.

Maybe if he wants to seriously raise issues about refs, he should perhaps refrain from raising the issue straight after his team got a thumping. It just smacks of sour grapes. Just a thought.
