Morgan charged over referee comments
Justin Morgan has today been charged with misconduct and breaching the RFL’s RESPECT policy following comments he made about match official Ben Thaler on Easter Monday.
Morgan is charged with breaching Operational Rules B3.33 and D1.10 (i) which state that it is an offence for any Club official to criticise the character of a referee or the manner in which a referee has controlled a game in which a Club has taken part in.
The matter will be heard by an RFL Operational Rules tribunal next Wednesday (22 April 2009)
About time too. Public attacks on referees by club officials is to be totally condemned. I heard Morgan's comments on Sky and he needs the book thrown at him.

I agree Alan. Whatever we say or think of referees in private they should not have to put up with public comments like that. They do a difficult job and, in the main, they do it well.

Morgan handed £4,000 fine for referee comments
Hull KR coach Justin Morgan has been fined £4,000 after he was found guilty by an RFL Operational Rules Tribunal of misconduct and breaching the RFL's RESPECT policy.
Morgan must pay half of the fine within the next 28 days whilst the remaining £2,000 will be suspended until the end of the season and will only be paid if he is convicted of a similar offence.
Should Morgan fail to pay the fine, which will go towards the RFL's RESPECT campaign, within 28 days then he will be suspended. He will then only be allowed back to work once it is paid.
The fine follows comments made by Morgan about match official Ben Thaler on Easter Monday at the conclusion of the match between Hull KR and Huddersfield Giants.
The RFL Operational Rules state that it is an offence for any Club official to criticise the character or manner in which a referee has controlled a game in which a Club has taken part in.
At the hearing Jim Spencer, Chairman of the RFL Operational Rules Tribunal, said: "Everybody in the game is entitled to respect."
