I saw the highlights programme last night & it was impossible to see the persistent offside that was being overlooked & the Masoe punch didn't even feature.

Just watched it on sky,, even more shocking was stevo and Eddie back every poor decision, proper saints love children are those 2, but it's as e on TV as it was last night,,

Name one poor decision Childs made? The Roby try was debatable, but wasn't his fault. The rest were very blatant.

tackle in mid air....both players going for the ball...eyes on the ball....penalty to Saints to get you out of your own 25....shocking decision.

Not showing the yellow to Percival for the professional foul on O'Brien ,ok it was in the 1st minute but it was a deliberate ploy as we had you on the rack down that edge.



Falling for Turners Klinsman esq dive for a penalty.



Putting Wire on a team warning for backchat to the ref, but not even speaking to the Saints captain despite Percival and Burns being guilty of it too.

I've watched it back, the first half reffing is awful, got better in 2nd half.

But if you don't want to hear Hemmings more or less cheering for Saints or Stevo creaming over Roby every 5 mins don't waste your time pal.

I had to watch it with the sound off....it was that bad.

Strange ref bias in rugby league ,in football you quite often get a home advantage with the ref , in RL it just seems to be who they perceive as the biggest team

This new system of referring to the video ref with referees opinion up front seems no less of a cop out than the old VR system...if the on field ref signals no try he should have the bottle to call it himself.

Mate you talk that much pesh on this forum, that sky have just got you a special seat between those other 2 saints loving clown children,, stevo and Eddie,, fit right in there perfectly!!

Feel sorry for Bradford and Leigh in a couple of days as he seems to be refereeing their game. A top of the table clash in the Championship, and the best appointment they can come up with is James Child.



Has Stuart Cummings got his job back or something? A appointment like this sniffs of the his prior handiwork.

Not seeing any mention of Penny's try being wrongfully awarded despite blatant failure to clear the ruck and Penny being several yards offside!



Watch the game back, Child did ok. There were a couple of poor calls, but nothing major. The result last night certainly wasn't influenced by Child!
