ADAM Pearson says poor decision making in Super League is creating suspicions about the integrity of the game.
Pearson has launched an attack on the state of officiating in Super League in a bid to see improvements made before fans are driven away and the matter worsens.
The Hull FCowner has spoken out following a number of perceived poor decisions on and off the field across Super League in recent weeks which have seen his coach Lee Radford join the likes of St Helens coach Nathan Brown in being critical of refereeing in particular of late.
Pearson stopped short of going into exact details regarding what in particular has caused him concern, mindful of already being handed a hefty fine by the RFL this season for speaking out regarding the disciplinary process.
The owner is eager, however, to highlight what he believes is an issue which must be addressed.
Speaking to the Mail, he said: "Yet again we see decisions so palpably wrong as to create suspicions in relation to the integrity of the game.
"People can guess as to what sort of decisions I am referring to, but hopefully in being ambiguous people close to the game will finally act, rather than wonder whether the ambiguous nature of my comments can be interpreted as a criticism of referees or themselves in order to justify a further fine for me rather than rectifying perceived injustices."
The Mail understands Hull's coaching staff were livid following the performance of referee Ben Thaler in Friday night's defeat against Warrington at the KC Stadium.
A frustrated Radford used his post-match press conference to highlight a number of incidents in the 24-18 loss to Warrington at the KC Stadium which he felt went against his side, including Gene Ormsby's controversial match-winning try.
