Quote: Old Feller "Child seems to me to referee the Dragons at home on a fairly frequent basis although I don't have any accurate records to prove or disprove this.
I wonder if this plays any part in them getting the bulk of penalties awarded?'"
James Child started getting SL games in March 2009.
Taking the 58 Les Catalans home Regular Round games + 4 Play-Off ties - season 2009 to date - the referee list for their home games looks like this:
12 - Ben Thaler
10 - James Child, Richard Silverwood
9 - Steve Ganson
7 - Thierry Alibert
5 - Ian Smith
4 - Phil Bentham
2 - Robert Hicks, Tim Roby
1 - Gareth Hewer
Within that overall timeframe Child's first game in Perpignan was during May 2010 which means he has controlled 10 of their most recent 42 home Regular Round and Play-Off fixtures - 24%
