But if talking about the ref makes you feel better the go ahead

Getting us up and keeping us up was massive achievement, getting a team to over reach is what a good coach does isn't it?
Yes we might look a poor squad ATM and time may soon be up on JM's tenure but please don't deride what he has done in his time here, he will go down as the coach who oversaw our rise back to the top league and should be recognised for that.

I'm not a Morgan apologist and he has some serious questions to answer but that is going too far.

By the way he hasn't had the full cap to spend this year, Hudge signed Mason and cocked it up thus losing us a minimum of £120k cap, do you think his time is up as well.

Selective penalties is cheating in my opinion. There were quite a few 'gifts' of posession to Leeds when we were attacking.

Also, Newton quite clearly grounded the ball for a try, but he decided he was held up and when he awarded a drop out when Leeds lost control behind the line and a Rovers player touched it down, it was clearly a try.

We put ourselves under pressure a lot with handling errors, but he helped the Leeds cause as well with several poor decisions.

Its ok some saying he has credit in the bank, but I'd like to know how many would be that generous if relegation was still in operation.
