Now i no you can't moan about refs if you lose as it's sour grapes BUT is it ok if you win.


How many times can you hold down/spoil before you visit to bin because IMO Cats did it too often.

And while i'm on Mr Child, tackles above the neck are not allowed, or maybe they are in the rule book you have.


The lads still learning but IMO he's got a lot to learn.

Not great, but I've seen much worse. In one way I guess he was trying to let the game flow, but he let too much go and the amount scrums more than made up for it with the stoppages. They generally seem to be more lax over slowing down the play-the-ball this season.

Come on - he gave us Martins try in the first half when Snitchy clearly knocked the ball down before re-gathering.

Pretty poor all round really!

is he that really skinny 15 year old touch judge ?

how come he was reffing a SL game? has he been promoted?

personally I enjoyed the game. it flowed , of course if we had lost it might of been different matter then but what do you want for the game to keep stopping like gansons games

at least he was consistent, even if it wasnt in a good way

surpirsed that after all the times he penalised cats for holding down he didnt really warn them once

Agree, he has quite a bit to learn yet. Some strange decisions. Mind you that is normal for refs

Bit of a strange one that i agree but i did not get a clear view so can't be sure.

Just think he allowed Cats to slow down the game.

What about Blanch's try? he looked to have lost the ball and interviewed on radio leeds said he was lucky to get that one..
The holding down by catalans was shocking and one sin-binning would have stopped that. Thats what you should have done Mr Child...
