Rovers have come on so much in such a short space of time and they are looking strong so as a FC fan I must be jealous?

Ok we have had a bad couple of seasons including a trip to wembley, but look deeper into both clubs, a great U21 team full of local potential, 4 internationals still waiting to make a start this season and the best supporters in the City, not on your nelly.

Come on lets get behind the lads and Agar, it won't be too long before the east hull sand castles start to crack

First signs will be when they start to blame the referee.

Rovers get ted by 22 points and home and Morgan says:
"I am going to teach my side this week to throw forward passes, stand offside all day and tackle round the head because every time we get him, we get the raw end of the stick. He needs to spend some time learning the rules and getting in a position where he can understand the game better. It is absolutely disgraceful every time we get him. He is not up to this standard at all. He needs to spend some time at another grade, just like my players would.We turned up with the right attitude but got caned by the bloke in the middle and that is not acceptable in my eyes. Next time we get him we know what to expect - a substandard performance. There is no excuse for our errors and I am not saying we deserved to win but there is a very common denominator every time there is a poor game of rugby league and that is Mr Thaler."


Can't imagine the RFL are going to be too impressed with that little tantrum.

We all get frustrated and annoyed with refs from time to time but this sounds like a proper blowout!

Sounds a bit bitter and will certainly get a backlash from the rfl. maybe doesnt trust the legitimate channels for reporting the officials and is probably right!

Or the grass being too green!!

Justin was right in everything he said and im glad he got it all of his chest and was the one to say it like it is Ben thaler is cr@p and it should be well in Justins right to say so. We all know how Huddersfield play the laying on was unbelievable and it needs looking into aswell as the tackling technique which includes the chicken wing hence Rhys' dislocated shoulder

Sounds like a whingeing Aussie to me.

Sorry but i don't see it that way and yes i was there

Thaler isn't brilliant, but he's not the worst ref in SL. Smith and Alibert are both less competent IMO.

And NO coach has the right to slate a ref in public like that. How the hell are players supposed to show respect for the officials if they know that their coach has none? Undermines the whole game.

Morgan is likely to have got himself in deep trouble, and rightly so. He should grow up and learn to take these things on the chin. I recall him telling the media just that after the fiasco at MM last season.

Hypocrite.

Sounds like a coach who is sick of the same shiite we get everytime we have that kn@b in charge ofour games,at least Justin has the balls to say it and show his emotions something Agar could learn rather than looking like a fart in a trance all the time

Good point mate I remember that too. Hope they throw the book at him
