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.

[quote="PopTart"] There needs to be respect of their role on the pitch.

I was always taught that respect should be earned. Child fails this criteria completely

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.

I can't go through all this and clean it all up but calling someone by name, a cheat, is against AUP.

By all means discuss the decisions and how good or bad they are but don't call Child a cheat please.

You are Josh McCrone and I claim my £5

Not to mention the forward pass in the build up to Grace's second try that even the sky commentary team picked up on at the time for a change.

the so called big clubs always get the 50.50 calls - last week was a disgrace

It's called top 4 rules.
