Who knows?again not the first and won't be the last to do this sort of thing I seem to remember SW of Wigan doing this sort of thing to influence refs and I'm sure he isn't on his own either.

I agree , he isn't , still doesn't make it right

It happens doesn't particularly bother me. Arguably greatest premiership manager in Ferguson had it down to a fine art. In competition people always will and always have looked to get every possible advantage they can

Yes they have , it's called cheating , just admit it , you'll feel better for it

I don't think he meant differently in terms of a weekly basis, more just last night. Don't think it's an effort to influence refs in general for future games, but perhaps an effort to make sure we don't get Child again anytime soon because we constantly get frustrated when he refs us.

You think we ( everybody ) doesn't ?

50 odd minutes, maybe around 55, Wigan conceded a silly penalty defending their own line. 'Is that 9-8 Joe?' says Hicks. WTF? Anyone know what the penalty count was at the time?

Leeds got something like 4 or 5 of the last 5 or 6 penalties on Thursday from Child. Makes you wonder if he checked the penalty count around the 65 minute mark....

I don't think that any club wants Child reffing their games, he is the new Ashley Klein

Needs to hurry up and go to the NRL then.

Klein was (is) an excellent referee who went on to satisfactorily referee Grand Finals and, later, a World Cup final. Players reacted well to him and certainly didn't have an issue with him refereeing them.

No one would dream of giving Child a final, let alone a world cup final.

I remember Klein upsetting a few Leeds fans back in 2005 when he ' pinged ' them for 3/4 forward passes in a row against
Leigh at Headingley , completely threw them into disarray , Sinfield was throwing it behind his runners for 20 minutes

Childs ? , should just ref everybody in turn then we only get him occasionally

PMSL at the idiots who claim Child makes mistakes when they can't even get his fcking name right
