On the whole incident I can't believe some fans are blaming the referee even for the trouble in the stands. The players throughout that game were terrible for back chatting - Chris Hill and Tomkins being the worst culprits.
Catalan really are a grubby team, last year at Headingley was appalling with the fake injuries and playing for time, I just hope we don't let them drag us down to that level next week.
I agree with all this. In the circumstances I thought Child handled the game quite well. The Catalans team were a disgrace with the grubby tactics, and Warrington indiscipline a lesson to be learned on how not to. I do think he should have abandoned the rules at the end, but it was the players who were delaying the situation with their antics, not the ref.
Who was the Catalans player who ran in from behind at the end and punched Ratchford, whilst he was face to face with another? That player seems to have got away presently, and hopefully this is all seen on review.
The only thing I would critisize Child on was the first half sinbinning of McLorum, which I feel was harsh and the wrong player.
