As a Cas fan I was dreading this game one the basis that Childs was the referee.
Having watched TGG for 50 years and seeing some 'giants' of the game including some very strong refs. Eric Clay, etc etc, this guy is the pits.
How can it be when you go to a game wondering how the match will pan out,ie will Cas revert back to 'BRADFORD' form, will Hull's recent form continue, yet the focal point ends up as James Childs.
This guy has been fast tracked to Super league by 'the powers that be' S. Cummings.
My son played for the U18's and U21's and had the pleasure (sic) of Mr. Childs abilities(???) and it was obvious then that he had no respect for the players at this level.
This person (I hate to use the term referee) is the Frankenstein monster created by the RL Hieracy BUT we the RL loving public are the one's who are suffering due this guy's total ineptitude.
He sent off Scott Moore at Headingley for an inoccuous challenge which left Matterson seathing ang changed the outcome of the match
He was in charge of whistle feast of a match last year at WR in which he infuriated the fans in the first half, was injured, falled to trap for the second half, substituted by a linesman, and the second half was an absolute pleayre to watch.
If any one has a DVD of the world cup finals notice who was on the touch line, yes you've guessed it.
Guess who came on waving his little flag, you've got it in one
When there are major matches in RL that require a neutral ref gues who can be found on the touch line, JC, (not him)
I'm glad that BOTH coaches are unhappy with this guy and the sooner he is relegated to the championship (or Oz) the better.
A complete and utter to$$ pot
