Following on from his AWFUL error at the weekend should cummins drop James child's from superleague duty. The fact that he can't count to 6 which leads to Bradford scoring on the seventh tackle could well make the difference to where saints finish and whether Bradford make the top 8.
Thoughts

Just when you think Childs couldn't get any worse...

To be fair I didn't spot it and watched the game but I am not paid to spot these sort of things!!

It's just been pointed out on boots n all showing the tackles. I doubt either set of players or the coaches realized at the time. Potter was slamming the ref and blamed him for allowing saints to gain a point, he sounds a bit silly now though!

The funniest thing is that you didn't actually notice until you watched Boots n All, and now you are outraged about it.

But most of us pay to watch the rugby.

He's paid to ref to it.

Yeah, and I say again, you saw no problem with it at the time, so why the outrage now?

I saw it at the time and am suitably outraged

Barrow scored the winner against York on the 7th tackle at Craven Park in the Choo Choo Cup earlier this season. I was pretty annoyed then.

Does that count?

I never said I was "outraged" I wasn't ok with it "at the time" because I wasn't at the game being neither a saints nor a Bradford fan. This mistake has been brought to attention, national press has reported how coaches have got into trouble for critising this ref, it just makes the rfl look a joke. ironic if agars side is beaten into the 8 by one point by Bradford.

He made a slight mistake. It's hardly the first time there has been an incorrect count. There have probably been plenty that haven't been brought to your attention on Boots n All too.

every match he refs seems to attract controversy

No , we don't want him either

Yep people make mistakes, and if it was just this then it would be one of those things, He is making more than most and often crucial ones- my point is he is being criticized on a regular basis but cummins continues to ignore this.

He's a touch judge at the Salford-Cas game on Friday. Not sure what we've done to deserve him!!

I don't normally criticise refs (I couldn't do it) but I do think that getting the tackle count wrong is a big clanger that deserves more than being demoted to TJ for a week.

Having said that i wonder how often it happens without a try being scored and no-one notices/complains??

given that it was the northern rail cup - i think you could say you weren't chuffed
