1. Referees incompetence/bias.
2. Lack of support from touch judges.
3. Need 2 referees to see more of an incident.
4. Not enough cash invested by the RFL in developing a pipeline of talented refs for the future.
5. shall i carry on with the list?

Mr Childs reward for his performance last week is to Ref Wigan v dragons on Friday, and touch judge for Wakey on sunday!

Am i being cynical but isn't it funny how he very rarely gets a TV game hmmmmm is Mr Cummins trying to hide someones lack of ability???????????? (just my own little theory lol )

I happen to think he's a very talented touch judge, no lack of ability there.

If true it will believe me...The ref was poor no question there, however allegedly Agar verbally attacked him straight after the match (with plenty of independent witnesses in ear shot), allegedly he made the attack very personal as well.
Now I am all for complaining about refs, however I do not think any ref should be subjected to abuse from coaches or any-one for that matter.

I'd heard the same. All i will say is that if i used the type of language and personal assaults that Agar is rumoured to have used in my work place i'd be instantly dismissed.

Well yes, I never wanted to post what I heard was said, fecking disgraceful if true ....and I am inclined to believe the person who told me.

Agar's media reaction now on FC.TV

Dave's number 3 suggestion of having two referees would be a good start,

This weekend in one of the televised games I saw someone get up from being tackled and throw an elbow with the ball in his same hand and couldn't believe it went unseen by three people, what more important thing could they have all been watching apart from what the ball was doing?

What's he say mate, can't view it at work.
