Justin Morgan is passionate about the game, the players and the club and he was interviewed within mnutes of the end of a game in which he not only saw his team lose but - as the majority of the crowd did - also saw a number of errors on the part of the referee and his linesmen which contributed to the final score notwithstanding the fact that the likelihood was that Huddersfield would win - WOULD YOU NOT HAVE MADE THE SAME COMMENTS _ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no ,i get annoyed when ref's dont give every decision but ATEOTD its human nature - if it wasnt the ref it would have been oiur tactics!!

every coach probably sees forward passes etc go unpunished every game but dont abuse the referee for it - they just get in with it knowing it will probably happen again next game

Give him a little longer in SL having to suffer at the hands or whistles of some referees and he may change his tune ...........

I could understand it if the score was close and a bad call hinged on the winning try but to get done by 22 and still call the ref is a bit sad really.

Was you at the game? yes Huddersfield were a better team today but come on, how many forward passes.

Yes I was at the game. I regularly comment on the cries of FORWARD from the East Stand these days. It's becoming embarrasing. Never heard it prior to 2006, I wonder why?

Actually no, when talking to a gentleman from Huddersfield in the HP bar after the match - I commented on the quality of Huddersfield's play and more especially your full back who ran the show for you today - you would have won, in my humble opinion, without the assistance of Mr Thaler, you were the better team on the day - after all any team who is able to get away with bending the rules to get field advantage is going to do it - Mr Thaler let you - you won ........

Its sound more to do with Morgan not trusting the correct channels of complaint TBH. He seems to have an issue with thaler full stop.

Dont let it detract from what the Giants are doing this season. A great coach and quality squad which will hopefully ANNOY alot more teams during the season.

Well done!

but 28 of our points probably came from bad ref's calls - Morgan is just peesed that his world beating superstar have been hammered at home by a team thats not even worthy of been on the same planet as his all conquering rovers

Sounds totally unprofessional to me:

"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."

I've seen the tries mate, Wilds is the only borderline one, im presuming there on about passes in general play and the flat ones we (and the rest of SL) do from dummy half

TBF you dont need to be at the game to see a massive dummy spit!

Morgans comments about every time we get 'him' would suggest its personal and he has a real issue with the Thaler.

More will come of this...
