Having thought James Child had maybe turned a corner.....we see he hasn't. That double movement decision not to go to the screen is just appalling. Barba decision just as bad. Disgraceful. Once an incompetent **** always an incompetent ****

He’s a cheat it’s that simple. Planted by the rfl.

What an absolute effing sickener

At least the +16 coupon handicap wasn't breached!

Incompetent at times maybe, a cheat give yer nogging a shake

I've only just got over the last time Saints won at belle vue over a disputed try in front of the cameras for all to see,
tonight is far worse than that, inept is being kind,
while I'm not daft to think the Saints don't deserve to be where they are, we should of come away with a better result tonight than that.
to be truthful I'm sick of propping the rest up **** all to play for, sicking decisions like this is making think why I bother following the sport any more.

My sentiments exactly the same snowie.

I don't like players and coaches having a go at the ref all the time. There needs to be respect of their role on the pitch.
Equally I'm not the type to blame the ref for a loss as there are always way more mistakes by players that cost the game.

However, I would like to see an official response when it is obvious on tv that a mistake has been made. The Batchelor incident could possibly be explained if the ref could clarify what they saw and how they interpreted it. The double movement was a clear error. TV proves it and it isn't an interpretation, he just didn't get it right for some reason, and didn't go to the ref.
I don't think it has to be a discussion, I just think it should be explained.

Spot on once again I could not agree more, although I'm not sure that he needs to go maybe that's a bit drastic, but my point and I still stick by it is that I don't think he's a cheat, and I base that to some extent that I haven't read a post from a fan of any club who has anything good to say about him, perhaps a consistent incompetent describes him best

You were badly done to last night, also how he missed the head shot on Lyne I don't know(unless he was looking at himself on the big screen) keep up the good work, from a Cas fan.

As much as 2 decisions not to use the video ref could have caused a 12 point swing in the score (or maybe 18 if a try had been interpreted as a knock on) I still think there was scope for us to win the match.

There has been plenty of talk on here in the past about game management. When we were 26-20 up I was crying out that we went for a drop goal. Instead Wood kicked low, Lomax picked up and the rest is history. I honestly think that in terms of what we (Wakefield) can control that was the most crucial decision and probably cost us the match.

I don't beliefs child cheats, I bet the guy is one of the hardest working referees in the game and I am sure he is a decent guy
I personally don't think he gets the correct support from the in goal or linesman and that's the case with all refs, how often do you see a call from a linesmen or in goal touchie? Surely one of the other officials could see the tries were in doubt?

Normally I would be pleased with a ref for not going to the VR but last night I was really dissapointed

I do agree with some of the other comments in some of the ref bagging is disgraceful, particularly at the games. I am sure they are doing there best.
I think we are watching the game in an age where everything is under the microscope for the referees more so
Criticism of referees is at a record high
Players are openly throwing them selfs on the floor, throwing hands in the air and constant seeking penalties to gain advantages
On Thursday night sam Tompkins turned in to a flopping fish during every tackle
It's embarrassing

It's sad to see

Fred Lindop would not stand for any of it

The game needs referees like Fred Lindop at the moment more than ever

Last night we should be awarded the 2pts bent as a 9 bob note. The one he sent up as a no try wasn't either morgan clear knock on. The pen try why just a pen it was kicked out of Batch hands in the act of scoring and the one a foot short was unbelievable I thought I had seen everything. No sympathy for Child a incompetent twit and should be stood down for a v long time and us awarded 2 pts simple.
