HULL KR chairman Neil Hudgell says the RFL's apology for wrongly awarding Hull FC their match-winning try is simply not good enough for the club and its fans.
And he has called for officials to provide clear details as to how they will prevent a repeat of Saturday's costly wrong decision, in which Chris Green's 78th-minute try handed Hull victory.
Rovers were left seething after seeing video-referee Steve Ganson award the try – giving Hull a 22-16 Magic Weekend derby win – as replays clearly showed he was offside.
Hudgell labelled it 'the single worst decision in the last 10 years of rugby league' and said he owed it to the club, Rovers fans and coach Craig Sandercock to seek a full explanation.
The RFL did issue an apology on Saturday evening from head of officials Jon Sharp, but Hudgell dismissed it as 'wholly inadequate, empty and tokenistic'.
"I have a group of players who are distraught that their efforts have not had the reward which they deserved," Hudgell said.
"I have supporters who have again turned up in their numbers at great expense and who feel cheated, and a coach fighting for a new deal whose livelihood could stand or fall on these decisions.
"For all of them I need more than 'sorry' from an ex-Hull FC player, coach and vocal advocate down the years. It is empty and tokenistic and an insult to our fans. The clear impression is that 'sorry' is enough and all is forgotten come Tuesday.
"I owe it to the fans, players and coach to ask for the RFL to issue a proper explanation for what has to be the single worst decision in the last 10 years of rugby league.
"They are baffled and mystified and need to know why the call was made, and what lessons will be learnt from it."
Hudgell revealed video referee Steve Ganson had personally called him on Saturday evening to apologise for his error.
The RFL responded last night, with Sharp making a further statement on the Super League website in which he explained how Ganson had 'tracked the wrong player' when failing to spot Green offside.
Sharp said Ganson was dropped from being video-referee from last night's clash between Leeds and Wigan, and said all at the RFL had to be 'accountable' for performances.
That is something Hudgell is adamant is needed in the wake of the incident, and he added: "I had a call off Steve Ganson with an apology and explanation for making the wrong decision. I like Steve and respect him for doing that."
He added: "The amount of money and resource ploughed into the officials department entitles us to expect better and more consistently correct decisions.
"Legitimate criticism and debate is suppressed by a zealous desire to cover over incompetence and under performance.
"Every week someone, somewhere feels aggrieved. I have zero confidence that will change any time soon."
