‘Not one of the big clubs’: Titans coach takes aim at officials in fiery post match rant
www.foxsports.com.au
Titans coach Justin Holbrook was fuming at his side’s treatment by the officials after they copped a 7-1 penalty count and lost the game 32-28 after three late Mitchell Moses penalty goals.
A clearly frustrated Holbrook took aim at the officials and the captain’s challenge in a fiery post match press conference after the Titans had one failed captain’s challenge to three successful ones for the Eels.
“Yeah definitely,” Holbrook replied when asked if the lopsided penalty count was a tough pill to swallow.
“I’m not here to take anything away from Parramatta. Good luck to them it is not about that.
“It is about us as a club being not one of the big clubs and not getting anything.
“If they are 50/50 then make them 50/50s. Give us a couple and give them a couple and we are happy. I’m not asking for 7-1 and 3-0 in the captain’s challenges.
“You are better off getting me to talk about the first half
and the officials to do the second half rather than now you are asking me 10 minutes after a game.
“We had a great opportunity to try and win a footy game taken away from us.
_From reading the comments on here, it sounds like he has a valid point or two.
Can you imagine if Des (or trent) said that while greenburg was in charge. there'd be faux outrage and fines galore.
