Whilst I admit Morgan could have been a tad more diplomatic what else can you do when these are the guidelines of the RESPECT campaign.
In a statement, the League said: "The RFL operational rules state that it is an offence for any club official to criticise the character or manner in which a referee has controlled a game in which a club has taken part in."
In other words the ref can be as sneakily bias as he wants cos theres feck all you can do about it.

If a ref was shown to be biased, rather than just incompetent, that would be the end of him. I think Thaler and other refs have been poor on occaision, but I don't believe any is dishonest. Words like 'cheat' might slip out among fans during a game, but what we really mean is 'rubbish' or at very worst 'unduly and subconcsciously influenced', I hope.

I stick to "poop". Covers all bases.
"You were never made for risks, mistakes, or regrets..."
The RFL won't publicly admit if any of Justins complaints were warranted, but I wonder what's gone on behind closed doors?
Anyone notice that the following fixture Rovers got a ref that allowed a quick game (resulting in a big win) & Giants got a ref that was prepared to rule against them (resulting in a big loss).
Might turn out to be the best £2K spent in a long time.
