'Hoping we get a fair crack': Fuming Hannay lets rip with stunning ref claim
Titans coach Josh Hannay expressed his frustration during the post-match press conference after his team suffered a heartbreaking 22-18 defeat to the Storm.
Deeply disappointed, Hannay voiced his belief that his team fell victim to several questionable officiating decisions.
"I'm gutted that they didn't get the ultimate result but how can you not be proud of how they're representing this club?" Hannay remarked.
He noted that sometimes, luck plays a significant role in the game. "Sometimes you just don't get the bounce or the rub of the green and sometimes, that's all you need when you're putting in that much effort," he said.
"We had none of it tonight, which is often the case for some reason with this club, but yeah, I couldn't be prouder."
An early call for a forward pass against the Titans prevented a clear scoring opportunity, but it was the timing of a decision right before halftime that particularly stirred controversy.
Hannay's comments reflect the ongoing frustrations faced by the Titans, as they strive for fairness in future matches and seek to continue representing their club with pride.
