There are way and means of doing things at certain levels but clearly the guy has issues.
Whether or not the match officials are "bad" , in his position a degree of restraint is required.
It is quite probable that the match officials made mistakes, as did Mr Morgan, as did all the players and probably a lot of the spectators as well.
So what!
Life is full of ups and downs, this and that.
It's how you cope with them that matters but sometimes..................
It's a shame because I always thought of him as one of the more personable coaches.
The point is, everyone you mentioned above is publicly accountable for their mistakes except referees. Ben Thaler is shocking, and has been shocking refereeing everyone one of our games previous to this.

Justin Morgan has certainly made sure that Mr Thaler won't be reffing them again in the near future. For this Machiavellian manoeuvre - the book should be thrown at Mr Morgan. Who does he think he is? Alex Ferguson?
The RFL seem to wrap ref’s up in cotton wool meaning they are immune from criticism.
If they have a bad performance then the coach should have every right to publically speak about it.
I agree totally and after being at the game in question I back Justin in what he's said. Thalers inability to keep a consistant 10 metres and complete disregard for the offside rule is just unacceptable at the top level. And after walking off the pitch with a smug grin on his face, whatever fine (if any) Justin has to pay is well worth it if it means Ben Thaler doesn't referee another Rovers game this year and beyond!

If I was the RFL, I'd make a point of appointing Thaler to ref as many Rovers games as possible after Morgan's unprofessional dummy spit.
