The National rugby league referees boss says Manly's out of step with other clubs in criticising the league's new two-referee system.
The reigning NRL champ criticised the new system claiming it had confused them in their surprise 34-12 loss to the Bulldogs on Saturday night.
Manly coach Des Hasler says he thought there were two different interpretations between the referees and his captain Matt Orford, did not know which referee to approach to question decisions.
Referees boss Robert Finch says the first weekend of dual match officials was "a promising start" and was backed by Sydney Roosters coach Brad Fittler who described it as good for the game.
While Hasler may well be unimpresed he'll will no doubt welcome the spotlight shifting elsewhere after his club's horror week in which star fullback Brett Stewart was charged with sexual assault.
He claimed the absence of Stewart was not a contributing factor to his side's surprise loss to the 2008 wooden-spooners.
