If you watch it back I'm sure child says it was given for the ball being dislodged after the tackle was complete. Pretty sure that was him trying to justify getting it wrong in the first place and having nowhere to go. The correct decision was play on back to 1 as Yeaman was 1 on 1 and Leeds got possession back.

I think you're right on all of that. The fact that Yeaman and the Leeds player were still sliding along the turf when the ball came out obviously negates Child's pathetic attempt to justify giving Leeds 2 points. Almost glad we never had any chance of getting within 2 by the end otherwise there wold have been hell to pay.

Refs sometimes seem to swing 50/50s to keep a game close, then will let one team run away with it in the final 20, especially when it's on TV. When it isn't on TV they often clearly go for whoever's most likely to win.

Not sure I agree that if you're a top 4 side you automatically get everything in your favour, these teams have captains very good at manipulating the ref.

Still, what it comes down to for me is is it incompetence or just straight corruption? Either way we pay good money to watch this sport and it's putting many people, myself included, off.

Forgot they got it back cleanly. You're right, play on, not a scrum.
