Like I said this Catalans team bears no semblance to Wane’s Wigan team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunbar Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 So glad we've gone from Leeds being persecuted by the ref's and disciplinary to Leeds getting everything in just 80 minutes. And all for a seat on a plane. 2 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

StandOffHalf Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 3 minutes ago, Ant said: Ref kept warning one side and waving play on to the other. No wonder they lost their temper Yes, Child needed to keep control of that. The players were boiling over. I think the cards were probably the right calls, but he shouldn't have let the control slide. It was a very frustrating and unappealing game to watch.

Rugbyleaguesupporter Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 What is James child actually meant to do?

WN83 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) I’d love to think Sky putting Leeds vs Wigan on from Magic in 2014 straight after that game is off the cuff sh*thousery!

The difference of course is that McIlorum would take out whoever Wane told him to take out, not just smack anyone he had beef with. Edited September 9, 2022 by Just Browny 1 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Im not sure nowadays Based upon performances this season he shouldn't be anywhere near. Lost a yard of pace, failing to engage the line and even nervous under the high ball. It's a shame because he was outstanding last season. Hopefully he has just been conserving himself knowing the world cup is in view as there is no way that Wane does not pick him. So long as tonight was enough to put the nail in McIlorum's world cup coffin I'll be content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot control ill discipline, and catalans players deservedly disciplined After the Prior incident he simply explained there was no issue and play on. The problem is that the players had all kicked off again and stopped the game for a few minutes. He ignored that and didn't even mention it. He needed to be firmer and put team warnings in place. I like Child and he does a good job of remaining calm, but I dont think his manner suited the situation tonight. And I'd like to add, I'm not a critic of refs, it's absolutely the players who deserve the stick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no reflection on his career as a whole; he's been one of the outstanding English players of this century.

It wasn't so much decisions but his demeanour and body language that allowed the game to degenerate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have worked- danger is that if that set a precedent then 10 would have joined after Also he did bin a catalans player, but it had no impact on mcillorum, dudson or pearce again who followed It's not good. Players now milking incidents/ looking to injure too often. It's got to change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 James Child shouldn't be anywhere near Super League. He messed up in the Leeds/Wigan game with the Newman try and was dropped from SL for weeks. Tonight proved he should never have been brought back.

meast Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Horrible game played by 2 horrible teams with some absolute grubs between them, and the grubs won. Leeds deserved it but as others have said, they knew which buttons to press to cause maximum damage to Catalans ill discipline, that's not to say Leeds weren't I'll disciplined they just didn't get caught as much. I hope the Leeds fans whining about referee's having it in for them will stop now. Too much Pißing about and playacting, not enough quality, exciting rugby league on show. Hopefully tomorrow's game is everything tonight wasn't, an exciting, action packed home win 1 1 2 1 Huddersfield Giants Supporters Association Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can come show respect collectively and openly and play the games Yes exactly. I thought the programme captured the mood perfectly. The lack of music and the more sombre feel showed great respect to the Queen. It was a great opportunity for the game to reflect our loss as fans and I thought it was produced perfectly. The end with the picture of the Queen was very poignant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now back to thinking thats the better option again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
