Morgan? Remember when we went to Caravan Park in 2007 ref Hewer gave 17 penalties on the bounce to Rovers. Didnt hear him complain that day.

Yes he did,

Hull KR coach Justin Morgan (on the appointment of non-Super League referee Gareth Hewer to the game)
"The two biggest games this weekend were Leeds v St Helens and this game, for two very different reasons, and I think the appointment of the officials should have reflected that - and that is all I am going to say.


Oh and it was 13 penaltys

As much as you stick-up for your coach, even if Morgan had a valid point (And he probably does) gobbing-off after your team have taken a pasting just makes any valid points redundant with each Teddy that leaves the pram.

If he is genuinely concerned at refereeing levels then he should have raised it last week. Or the week before. Or at anytime that doesn't make him seem like a whiny schoolboy.

Coming on the forums and defending every point someone brings up that contradicts a Hull KR view just makes you seem desperate and wrong, whether you are or not.

or just not raised it in the press. surely if as a professional you have a problem with the people refereeing your sport the people to talk to are the RFL or the ref's!

Every good coach lays blame away from himself and his team when it suites them. You can only be impressed with what he has done there so far. Its just a shame he is not a young English coach
