Child was (and pretty much always is) awful. He did get some wrong for both sides, though, but I'd agree that we seemed to come out of it the worse of the 2 sides. Wasn't what cost us the game IMO, but didn't help. In fact, the worst decision of the match was probably the Houghton knock-on in the Leeds attack that would probably have seen the game effectively over sooner.

When they do anything it's usually wrong. In the KR game the touch judge stood next to Welham while he knocked the ball out of Inu's hands in a 2 man tackle and failed to have the penalty awarded to Catalans. The other bug bear of mine is the 'unofficial' use of the video referee during games - there'll be certain decisions (scrum put-in etc.) suddenly mysteriously overturned after the incident is shown again on the TV. Other times nothing happens when an incorrect decision is seen to be made. Gives the impression that things are being made up as they go along.

The worst decision of the match was undoubtedly the ball steal penalty against Yeaman when he was the only player ever in or near the tackle. Even if he did knock the ball out during the tackle contact how the hell can that be a penalty ? Ever ? It was a ridiculous decision by a limited referee.

I agree, was never a penalty in a million years. Scrum to Leeds IMO. At least he saw something, though. Houghton clearly played the ball and Child apparently didn't even notice.

I have to agree, seemed crazy at the time.
I've not seen a replay, so it's probably not relevant, but a 2 man tackle is always a 2 man tackle, even if one of the players releases, turning it into a 1 man tackle. In that situation, a ball steal is a penalty. A doubt Childs would have been able to work that one out anyway.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

It was never a 2 man tackle though - not even remotely close - that's the point.

I know, all I'm saying is if that if a 2nd player had been involved in the tackle much earlier in the play, then a penalty would have been right. As I said, I haven't seen a replay. It's one of those rules which is hardly ever applied, and I'd imagine not many even know it exists.
