Quote: gazcoops "I tweeted the refs during their Q&A session asking why we still have the report system when they look at incidents after the match anyway. I got no reply. I do however think this was one of the rare times where the ref was correct in putting it on report as it was clear he didn't see it'"
Child clearly didn't see it and neither did the TJ (no surprise). I'm sure it would have been picked up by the MRP but the big screen doesn't help the refs, especially with the repeated showings. Puts them in a difficult position with the crowd baying for a card, a penalty, the player's head.
If he didn't see it, he can't do anything and on report on the basis of an apparently serious injury was all he could do. Shame the crowd generally don't appreciate that.
