Very sad and pathetic. Most uncouth, arrogant, blinkered, insular, ungracious coach in Rugby League. Wigan fans deserve him. Most of them possess the same traits.

I find it really hard to believe that the RFL would tell any coach that video ref decisions cost them a game and especially not Fog Horn Leg Horn. But if they had, I bet they'd be well P'd off that said coach went and broadcast it to the press. He really is a class free zone.

If someone at the RFL has admitted that Sinfield knocked on in the build up to Hall's try, someone at the RFL needs to go away and learn the laws of the game. The only direction that anyone with functioning eyes could say for certain that ball didn't travel was towards the Wigan try line.
Yes, there was arguably a knock-on in the build up to Moon's try but I don't recall seeing a camera angle which showed Sinfield's arm completely off the ball at any point, and in any case that's not reviewable by the VR as it was on the previous play.
I get the feeling the fat oaf is basically making this up to excuse his failings. I cannot believe for one minute, unless he produces proof of the conversation, that someone at the RFL has sat down and said that all three of the VR decisions were categorically wrong. He'll be telling us next that "the RFL" agree Hardaker's drop goal didn't go between the uprights.
Wane is a man under pressure, and he's cracking. Another trophyless season and I reckon he's out of a job.

I suspect wane is attempting to build a siege mentality for the club. Along the lines of the world is unfair to us. Similarly to Ferguson at Manchester United. If you recall his mantra of all referees are against us. If they were beaten it was never his our the teams fault. It was always down to somebody else.

Who cares what he says? The result still says Rhinos 25 Wigan 18. He'd be better served making sure that his side has players who can convert tries they score. That could have made a difference to how the game went. Wane is totally one-eyed unlike McDermott who may say different in private to the players but who in public rarely blames the officials.

Rumour has it that O'Loughlin once tackled someone below the eyeballs!
