I think it's more of a James Childs problem than one with the teams, he's trying to speed the game up faster than what's physically possible at times, the other 2 games weren't as bad as this he needs to calm down a bit in the second half and let the game flow.

tackled a man off the ball
tbf sam didnt argue!

So have Trinity. Child seems a little harsh. Clearly something has not been communicated to the players about interpretation of the rules.

Agree, some of the penalties have been crazy calls at the PTB.

I hope that mr child keeps his whistle in his pocket for the 2nd half, spoiling the game all around. I dont think there has been one set of 6 yet without a penalty

They didn't show replays and I didn't see it live,surprised really.

Last try Just what did they think Widders would do

yes be glad when they cool off on this rule, you wont be able to make a takle before too long

We've seen the RFL crackdowns before, they don't enforce them for long, give it 4 games you'll be able to get away with murder.

Year in year out discipline is killing us

Obviously not, wake up Wakey and stop making it easy for them

Sick of seeing the Ref blow up already and its only week 1.

The ground looks to be getting heavier underfoot all the time so the ref should take that into consideration with both teams still coming to terms with game speed for their 1st outings.

Although Wakefields defending seems woeful at times - Oh dear.

yes only problem is when this happens every year it always seems to be the top sides that are allowed to get away with it first
