How did the rain affect his decision making? Is it easier to miss forward passes, late hits, ball strips, to not play advantage and generally measure 10m when you're wet?

Funniest thing he said all day was 'We don't want a penalty at the scrum'. Why on earth not James?

Assuming you mean Lynch's try, he signalled to wipe the tackle count after Saints touched the ball. He did miss the knock on by us at the time though.

Are the referees alloswed to look at the screen? When Wilkin clearly ripped the ball out then smirked as he had won the scrum, what is stopping Child from looking at the screen and changing his decision?

I don't think so. Though I would be all in favour of the VR having a quiet word in his ear. As I am sure all Bulls fans would be. =#FFFFFF<cough>Harris<cough>

Nope, not that one. It was Kearney's try. He signalled tackle 'three' twice in the build up!

hardly our problem if ref can't count though. you play to the whistle and assume the whistle blowers competent.

I don't think the VR would ever do that.

If they did they should be exported to the colonies.

All this talk about referees is making me feel sick.

Hasn't happened for at least 4 years

Well it's where he came from!
Funnily enough I thought I heard an Aussie accent (from the ref

) in one of the recent championship games on Sky, so maybe they've sent another in compensation, so to speak.

Dropped for this weekend> No spot in the middle for Mr Child.
