ARLC Chairman Peter V’landys has hit out at Manly coach Des Hasler under investigation for his comments about referees in the Sea Eagles’ loss to Parramatta.

Hasler criticised several crucial calls in the final 10 minutes of the match.

Mr V’landys told Ben Fordham “he was out of order” in criticising the referee.

“You don’t just go and attack someone’s integrity like that.

“This is what causes referees in junior games to be abused by parents because they see someone of the standing of Des Hasler having a crack at a referee when he shouldn’t be.”
