I think he's been consistently inconsistent. I think he's rubbish. I also think we've been worse than him by a distance

No we have lost because wire were a lot better than us. Still don't think child has had a good game

We all know Childs is not a high calibre referee but I still don't think he had any influence on the result.

Wires defence has been great, our attack looks like something that resembles Sunday league stuff. Wires attack has been good, showed at lot of holes in our defence and plenty of issues that need addressing.

Think me may be playing a few games without ablett as well. Sure he didn't mean to kick the head, but you cannot kick the ball in that situation and connected with the face, might cop a ban for that

A breather for a couple of weeks wouldn't be the worst thing for Ablett IMO. Interesting to see if they do ban him because it will set a precedent-2 games would probably be about right.

Think he has to cop a ban for that dangerous play kicking out when heads are down there

Of course he had an influence on the result. Wires first try a mile forward, and only one pen to Leeds for 75 mins of that game.

Warrington fully deserved the win, they were the better team. But let's not speak rubbish, that Child didn't have an influence, he clearly did.

On the Ablett issue. Would expect a ban, pretty confident he didn't mean any intent (despite his reputation amongst opposition fans probably counting against him) but you've got to be more careful than that in that situation. Very clumsy.

He did, but good sides overcome poor refereeing and tonight we didn't even get close.

He is as poor as I remember and has been for 3 years but that still doesn't excuse our performance

Completely agree don't think he went into it to hurt anyone, thought he was going to kick the ball. But still cannot go in with the boot in that situation

I'm not sure Child pinged us once for holding down, which, when it's Child, must mean we can't have been holding down nearly enough. Wire's consistently fast play-the balls won the match as much as anything else.

I agree, though I'm sure I remember a Leeds try ruled out by the VR a few years ago away at Saints, IIRC Sinfield? was going over the line and had the ball kicked out of his hands by Wellens.

Tbh I think this kind of incident has been coming with refs and VR's not penalising tackling with the legs by players for years.

So you are saying had we got some more decisions our way we would have won?

The answer is no.

That's rugby, you either get the rub of the green or you don't. We've won more than our fair share of matches in the past despite really poor refereeing and at the same time we have been really robbed by the ref in the past. Last nights standard wouldn't fall into that category. By Child's standards I thought he had an average game.

Besides the whole point of me defending the ref was I didn't want people hiding behind the 'if it wasn't for the ref' excuse, when clearly we didn't have enough about us to compete with Wire.
