Oh, ok. Sorry if you're offended Morph!!!!
On the thread topic, Morgan has said on the sportinglife website, under the Headline, "Mcrae happy with win", halfway down the page, Morgan says of Thaler, "I don't want him to referee us any more".
Ok, then we don't want Bentham again after Monday, or Ian Smith again after his display with Leeds vs Wigan a few weeks ago.
Morgan, just shut up!!!!
You will get what refere that is appointed. If it is Thaler, then you're just getting some hard luck.
Here is what Morgan said in full:
"It didn't help that they were allowed to get away with blue murder. I'm going to teach my players to throw forward passes, stand offside all day and tackle around the head.
"That's the parametres he sets out. Every time we get him we get the absolute raw end of the stick. I'm not the only person who says that. If I had a player who wasn't up to the standard he gets dropped.
"He needs to spend some time learning the rules and get into positions where he can understand the game better because it's absolutely disgrace every time we get him. People pay good money to come here to see a fair game of rugby league. It's hard enough on the players as it is, and then he tosses up that all day.
"Standing offside, tackling around the head and forward passes, so that's what we will practice all week and hope we get him as referee next week. He's not up to this level, this standard at all.
"Unfortunately he's not, and he needs to spend some time in another grade just as my players would have to. There's no excuse for errors. We most probably didn't deserve to win. But it's a very common denominator and every time it's Mr. Thaler.
"I don't want him to referee us any more. I just don't want him any more. I don't want him to referee any of our games. He's the common denominator every time there is a poor game of rugby league or there's controversy involved.
"We'll go and practice those things and hopefully we get allocated to him. But if anybody has got any sense he'll find himself in national league next week. You can't give instructions to your captain before kickoff and then not be allowed to enforce them.
"I'm not going to go into details but you can't do that. It's not acceptable in my eyes. I thought the definition of the word move and when you say movement you have to move. So why say it in the first place is you are not going to enforce it. This game is a hard game physically and mentally.
"We turned up with the right attitude and got absolutely canned by the bloke in the middle and that is not acceptable in my eyes. I'll get nowhere as usual but we know what to expect the next time we get him - a substandard performance. If I had a substandard performance I'd find myself out of a job.
"I can only talk about this game and there were at least a dozen forward passes in that game from both sides. It's not fair that teams have to back it up.
"We are in the modern age of professional rugby league and 'professional referees'. We need to treat it that way, not amateurish.
The bit in bold is how he is behaving in my opinion, amateurish. This has been taken way,
way over the top.
I said it above and I will say it again now:
