Morgan's side felt the effects of Friday's gripping derby win over Hull as they were worn down 30-8 by the Giants in their engage Super League clash at Craven Park.

"It is the Easter weekend. It is difficult for everyone and it didn't help that they were allowed to get away with blue murder." Morgan said. "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 added: "If I had a player that wasn't up to standard he gets dropped.

"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."

He added: "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."

On the general issue of playing two games in such a short space of time, Morgan was equally forthright.

He said: "I'd just can it, can it altogether. They talk about revenue but let's get some good games. That was not a good game."
