I don't think the pools can manipulate the block generation. Once the block is generated,the reward of bitcoin will go to the pool's address and be broadcasted to the whole network. I know one type of scam pool, who never release the reward to miners.

Not sure what you mean by "hides".  A pool makes money by broadcasting valid solutions to a block.  By not doing so gives its competitors time to find a valid solution instead.
