As I said, on the televised games the ref seemed to just momentarily glance at the touchies before awarding, which I assume is a directive from the RFL. Which seems consistent, unless they start with 5 minute VR adjudications to excite the TV public.'"
I am all for speeding up the game, and, if Child was sure then fair enough. But he was not as well placed as one of the other officials to make that call.
I think it changed the game, had that been given, then we would have gone on to lose by slightly less than we did.
