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.
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.
