Should have been a penalty try, and definitely was a double movement. Two bad calls. I also agree that some bad calls went the other way in not so spectacular a fashion, the penalty for interference which got Wakey's roll on in the second half was a very questionable call. You win some you lose some.

Carney and Wells got it right, and showed the ex-player experience and perspective when they noted that we can't simultaneously moan about players staying down to milk penalties slowing the game down, while also simultaneously moaning if referees don't refer eevry try to the video ref.

Eddie has an irritating tendency to talk of individual events in the game as if the decision could have been reversed and the rest of the game would then have gone exactly as it did.

It is frustrating when a decision is wrong, and it'll affect every team during the course of a match and regularly throughout the season. Wakey were unlucky tonight. Saints scraped another win despite being nowhere near their best (not sure I believed Holbrook's explanation of Barba's subbing). Chester showed some class after the match in his interview.

Oh no!!!

I suppose people can feel vindicated regarding Child's poor performance, but as I said earlier in the thread, it makes no difference now, still two points lost for Wakey.

Or maybe the heavy penalty count that went in Wakefields favour gave them an unfair advantage, he also disallowed 3 saints trys and the video ref overuled 2 of them, cuts both ways, poor performance indeed. Johnny Lomax will be happy if Child has been demoted, Johnny was getting cheesed off with Liam Finn bashing him around the head.

Are you really suggesting that Child has been stood down because of the penalty count?

Nothing to do with the two contentious decisions that he failed to send upstairs then. He may have disallowed some St's tries but at least he chose to have a second opinion, something that was not afforded to Wakefield.

I couldn't have put it better
