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...

Couldn't see that one - but had a good view of Snitchy's knock on - or not as the case may be?

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.

your right big bloke stud at the side of me never shut up about him

give the guy a chance, i thought he did ok.

it was a hard game for him to ref in fairness because Les Cats are the most ill-disciplined side i have seen in a long time.

No worse than any of the others really, but as plenty of others have already said, I find it hard to believe that he didn't even speak to anyone about the constant messing about at the play the ball, staggering the amount of times they were penalised for it, and got away with it.

Two ways you can look at it

Yes we as a supporter we do not usually moan when we win and certainly the holding down and interfering at the play the ball was ridiculous, he also never looked to his left at all for offside from the defensive team.

On the other hand he is young he is learning his trade, i'm assuming he must have come through the co-op leagues ? give him a chance. Was not as bad as the "HOMER" and i do not mean his sexuality IAN SMITH on Friday who dare not make a decision against Leeds Dolphins sorry I mean Rhinos but might as well have been watching American Football with all the forward passing.

One thing I will say try refereeing then you will see how hard it really is.

It is hard Fred and i did not really want to start a witch hunt on a young ref, but you have to admit they did hold down several times and he should have sent one to the bin.
