I'm just glad Bailey never played or Briers could have been on the end of some punishment from TMFMISL as you have all called him on here.

On many other forums this comment would have resulted in a ban.

Here we just prefer to point at laugh at you.

It's alright posters saying Child wasn't the reason we lost because Warrington played much better, and they did, but it was Child's many incorrect decisions and the questionable integrity of Bentham, that gave Warrington the platform to gain that momentum to be so much on top.

exactly. Leeds still didnt play well enough to win, but we would have had enough to win. Warrington would have been a man short in defense and lacking their key man in attack. Leeds would also have smelt blood.

The ironic thing is that usually the arguments about the display system are that any bands don't affect the team offended against. However if he does get a ban and we get through we will get to face Warrington without one of their main threats

I will never understand why fans of other teams come onto threads like this to say 'Sometimes decisions go against you, deal with it' when we know for a fact there would be a thread exactly the same as this on their board had one of their players been punched in the back of the head after retreating from a tackle.

Secondly, no one, or at least no one with intelligence, is saying 'Eurgh the referees are bent grrr! They all hate Leeds!!' What is being said is that it's ridiculous and inconsistent that an offence such as Briers' was not even a Yellow Card - when it's been a Sending Off offence most of the season. Again, something your fans would agree with had it been the other way around (And some even agree with, now - players included).

Thirdly, you cannot say Briers was a great player for Wire today, and then say Child's ruling had no bearing on the game. It's one or the other. Of course it changed the course of the game! Would it have changed the end outcome? Who knows. Leeds were not at their best today whereas Wire had a lot of great players on the field. Burrow looked to be our strongest attacker early on, which Warrington realised and shut down pretty quickly. I don't think we deserved to win based on how we played especially in the second half. We can only play what's in front of us and we didn't play their 13 men as well as they played ours.

The troll is strong with this one.

Just watched it again and it amazes me how close Childs is to it all. It's not as if he has a view blocked by anyone as he is stood next to it.

Terrible error of judgement by Childs

Complete bottle job from Child and a completely bewildering decision for BOD for Westwood's try.

The VR wasn't great in our game afterwards, either. Said Puletua knocked on, when he never, and then disallowed a Hull KR try for obstruction, when there wasn't.

It's not great to see VRs getting it wrong. There is no excuse for them getting it wrong and that's been a trend this season, unfortunately.

Been going on for years and years as I have been saying for years and years, was told it was a load of bollox.

Suddenly now it's affected some of the bigger clubs its an issue?

I will repeat what I was told "the refs get things wrong, it evens itself out, get over it"

We have said for years refs are inconsistent, please wake up

Maybe you should wake up to the fact his name is James Child not James Childs.

Oh sorry, shouldn't you be trying to find a new club to support?

Child is awful. Too many mistakes and weak.
No one, Leeds or anyone else would have won at the HJ yesterday with him in charge and Bentham as VR.
Didn't think your lot were as bad as the score suggests.

Inconsistency of refereeing decisions is a major factor in fans falling out of love with the game. Our game (Giants v Leeds ) Wardle got sent off for punching Ablett, and Briers is allowed to stop on. The RFL needs to justify these decisions and explain why these same type of incidents had a different outcome.

Childs seem to think that the punch missed his head and that was the reason for him staying on.
