Child hadn't ref'd in SL, he'd been TJ and ref'd in the C'ship. He simply isn't good enough for play off games or C Cup Semis or Finals. He ref'd Wigan's semi and was abysmal, he was then given the Final and was again terrible. Wigan won the Cup in spite of Child. Yes my team won and I'm complaining about the ref! (John Monie's old quip.)

The RFL have a massive responsibility and their sending match officials on the same plane as Catalans opposition is staggering. Given they appoint a referee who is clearly not up to it and the Catalans crowd's sense of grievance came out in full. The Catalan club will have difficult questions to answer about various incidents but massive questions need to be answered by the RFL and their numerous misjudgements over this fixture. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not what you posted in the first instance. Maybe you aren’t good enough to comment about referees and their ability when you can’t get your facts right?

As for whether James Child isn’t good enough to referee in SL or other big matches I think you are completely wrong and haven’t got a clue what you are talking about. Your idiotic prejudices, without any foundations or resemblance to facts, shows through
