I have not seen the guy ref but have read much debate and complaint from club officials... so whats the paying customers views... in your opinion, is James Child a rugby league competent referee:





ps I hope this doesnt break any rules... I wouldnt want to be charged by the rfl....

This is the very man who ref'd at the Crusaders vs Cas game where cru were up at half time. Then under a torrent of abuse from the cas fans jogged off at the half couldn't return due to a foot "injury"

Don't forget he was still able to run the line second half.



An absolute joke of a ref.

Awful ref- from a Quins fan

im sure one of the other vikings will correct me on this. but i remember we had him for a NRC game against oldham (which saw of Ste McCormack) he was a load of rancid jizz then and another time against fev or halifax i think? it was a very, very close game and he gave the opposition a penalty right in front of our sticks for some anal, none existant, bullcrap scrum infringement that nobody could understand. we lost the game as a direct result of that penalty.

he is gash.

you cant go for 2 from a differential penalty

exactly. see why im annnoyed by it?

He's the only linesman I've seen to sin bin 2 players, when Bulls played Hudds a couple of years ago.

How did he do that exactly? I'm pretty sure the ref does it.
