| We can do 2 things to improve the refereeing:
1 - Replace Stuart Cummings
2 - Introduce a 2nd on-field ref
The game is far too fast for 1 ref to be able to keep the defence onside and monitor the play the ball. They can't be in 2 places at once.

It was more like a foot "injury" he was beyond poor so Pressley replaced him it was as simple as that, the referees physio didn't move from in front of the radio broadcasters, Jamie Bloem mentioned this as a reason for ruling out an injury serious enough to have a ref replaced.

| Seriously, he really is very poor. I can name at least five other Championship referees who are better qualified than him, IMO at least, to make the step up to SL. Incidentally, the five I could name are cr*p too, its just that they are on a better level of cr*pness than Mr.Child.

Agreed, the 'Fev away match in the NRC still haunts me. He seems to try and let the game flow but quickly loses control of the match and becomes card happy in order to try and calm things down.
I think it great, at least we dont have to deal with him anymore. SL are welcome to him

| Everyones always got a problem with the referees especially in the Championship. The best I heard was 'we lost by 6 points only because the ref cheated.......'
Let him have his pop and see what he's like.
Top and bottom of it we need two referees. You shouldn't even need a great standard you just need two.
The refs in SL have been a lot, lot better since the introduction of full time but people still swear they're right even after multiple replays on a big screen.
That is all

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

It is for the Championship clubs.
… I’m not normally a ref basher but he is a truly awful ref. I look forward to reading some of the posts on his progress in Super League.

The only problem with this is that "the referee at the top end of the pitch is a w*nker" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Yep, the ref's aren't helped by Eddie and Stevo moaning about every incorrect decision because it makes them seem worse than they are.
The Lee Smith try in the Grand Final is a perfect example. Lee Smith, according to the rules and ref's guidance, was onside, yet Eddie & Stevo were convinced he wasn't and so suddenly it becomes controversial. If that incident had happened at a game without TV cameras it wouldn't have been controversial at all.
From what I see on TV most incorrect decisions are on things like when the ball comes loose in a tackle and the ref has to decide whether it was ripped out or dropped and is usually incredibly difficult to see what really happened in real time. Then all we as spectators see is the super slow mo replay on SKY showing the opposite to what the ref gave which I would imagine in most cases is simply a "best guess".
And despite getting incredibly annoyed at refs when im physically at a game, I usually go home and watch it on TV and begrudgingly admit they're right more often than not.
A 2nd ref monitoring the tackle and play the ball has to be the way forward.

| Saying he is 'awful' doesn't offer much constructive criticism. In my opinion, he doesn't referee with much common sense. He blew up for too many minor things (as mentioned with the Cas game) and just didn't let the game flow at all, very frustrating.
Hopefully he will improve in SL, but I think he might struggle early on. Saying that, Ashley Klein struggled alot early into his SL career but he did improve and won SL ref of the year at one stage.
