This morning om RH 6:25 sports bulletin Justin Morgan openly complained about the referees performance at the KC derby stating we were given 4 penalties in the 1st half. He also said he was going to speak to Suart Cummins to make sure the referee would not be swayed by the crowd at the KC and was not exactly complementary about Phil Bentham.
As I understood it coaches are not supposed to comment on refereeing performances in this way and worst of all is he trying to influence the outcome of a game which has not kicked off?

"I will speak to Cummings to make sure the ref is not swayed by the crowd. I will ensure that he is swayed by the coaches comments in the media."

Not the best way to get a ref on your side then is it, would he have been happier if Thaler had been given the game?

Seems to me Mr Morgan is a little worried then.

Good luck Justin, Cummins can't get the referees to ref the game correctly let alone take on board anything else.

Morgan has got more spin than James Rule, he is a a**, pleading to Cummings it just makes me laugh. Bless.

Surely this isn't allowed though? as his comments could clearly affect how the ref refs thematch, ie implanting a seed.

Could also work against him

Getting pretty desperate. I think as a player I wouldn't like to hear my coach whinging on the Radio... then again maybe it's a massive ploy by Justine so he can relate with his main man Clint.

He's been whinging about his team not winning a play off game yet too coming back with 'the other team hasnt even been in them for the last two years'

Tart!!

More like complete T0$$er

Maybe he's just showing Clit Newton how to whinge properly without having to paint his nails

What do you expect he a Aussie ..If I was Bentham I would make him suffer
for sh-t stirring

So he's not happy with Bentham, i'm pretty sure he was their saviour v Huddersfield and v Castleford??

Ah, and you don't have any Aussies in your side do you



He's certainly reeled you all in though hasn't he

It's not us he has to worry about, it's the fact that he made the statement in the public domain, think I would be more worried about the reactions of the RFL then a few Hull fans!

You're thicker than I thought if you actually believe what you've written. The only Aussies whining in the press are from your team. Poor old Hull kingsford Australia, do they play 'Cry me a river' in the dressing room before every match?

Desperation by Morgs.

Oh dear

Let's hope our Aussies do their talking on the pitch, that will show them!

He is a Welsh/Aussie If and when he returns to Australia will he have to reply to get back in like the rest of your lot

Sorry, Trace, but this is not an attempt by Justine to reel Hull fans in - bit more serious than that.

Bentham's taken over from Ganson as the RFL's favourite big match ref who'll not be influenced, though - no Smith or Hallibut here - so guess he's just wasted his time and pee'd the RFL off to boot. Nice one Justine!

Oh, okay then

It is

What else?

I don't mind people playing mindgames, it's just that you need some form of mind to start with.

Has Clint been to the nailbar yet?

I thought Silverwood was the new 'big match ref'....I know that Bentham's had both derbies at the KC this year, but Silverwood's been given the CC final, and the WCC.
