Castleford Tigers head coach Ryan Carr has refused to give his full opinion on some of the officiating decisions in his side\u2019s defeat to Leigh Leopards, stating that he would just get fined.<\/p>\n

Carr was left visibly frustrated after his side\u2019s 24-18 loss to Leigh<\/a> and in appeared prickly in the immediate post-match interview with Sky Sports<\/a>, often spinning the questions onto the commentators and asking them for their verdict on some of the game\u2019s controversial calls.<\/p>\n

Among those calls were two disallowed tries for Jason Qareqare, the second of which came for a soft obstruction call, as well as a sin bin for Louis Senior that Carr was simply unable to explain.<\/p>\n

Speaking post-match to BBC Radio Leeds, Carr was asked again about some of the officiating and he tried his best to hold his tongue.<\/p>\n

\u201cNah, I won\u2019t,\u201d Carr responded when asked for his thoughts on the two disallowed tries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get fined, man. I can\u2019t keep getting fined. Like I said, if you want me to tell you the truth, I\u2019ll tell you the truth but just when the cameras are off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carr perplexed by Senior sin bin<\/p>\n

Another contentious moment that Carr was upset with but was happy to comment on was the sin bin for Louis Senior with the outside back making contact with the head of David Armstrong, though there was plenty of mitigation.<\/p>\n

Armstrong was falling forwards and rapidly losing height, something that referee Liam Rush acknowledged when flashing the yellow, and Carr was left perplexed by what his player could have possibly done differently.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly can\u2019t tell him what to do. I don\u2019t know,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s like six foot six and was dipping his knees down as low as he possibly could. It was like below this table height where it happened. I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t understand that at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to get some clarification on it, I suppose. But what is it? After the game, clarification, it\u2019s gone, mate. The two points, it\u2019s gone, unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the prospect of an apology from the officiating department in the coming days, Carr was clear: \u201cI don\u2019t really care, mate. I don\u2019t really care. Like, what does that do? What does that do? I just\u2026 Yeah, I don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Castleford Tigers boss expresses immense pride despite defeat<\/p>\n

Despite his clear frustrations at the officiating, Carr was eager to offer praise for his side for their performance, particularly in response to the hammering at Magic Weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike I said, I\u2019m super proud that that\u2019s how these boys, that\u2019s how we should represent the club,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what they deserve. That\u2019s what our fans deserve. That\u2019s what our owners deserve. That\u2019s what everyone deserves at our club and our town. That\u2019s who we\u2019re playing for.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s got to be the same every week now. That\u2019s the key for us, I suppose. That\u2019s the learning from this year is we haven\u2019t probably narrowed our consistency down with stuff like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m really chasing is that type of consistency in performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
