Yes that's correct, one from the RFL and one from Leigh.

Fred,I know his will kick off contraversy but I listened to the game on your local radio and it was obvious from the commentary that the referee was totally inept and and almost biased against the Leigh team (I'm trying to avoid the word ch****ng)

But,a great saying in sport is 'what goes around,comes around'

Last seasons game against Limoux was the same with the ref (from Leigh) being so biased against Limoux who were clearly the better team totally beaten by an incompetant refereeing performance.
Some of the calls were so obviously wrong and it was absolutely criminal that the refereeing bias toward Leigh wasn't punished by the authorities.Limoux deserved the win but were ch****d out of it by a ref who was never going to let the home side win.

FWIW - Every time Mr Child has been down to Perpignan he has had a terrible game - his decisions have been mindboggling at times,especially his apparent bias [uagainst[/u the Catalans.He's the only ref not welcome at Perpignan.

Bad luck Leigh,you can be proud of your lads and good luck for the rest of the season.I'm sorry you had this clown officiating.

You will also find that your second try went in your favour through an incorrect childs decision regarding a duffy knock on.

Conveniently nobody from leigh are mentioning that one.

Actually watching the replay on DVD last night (several times) it wasn't a knock on it was palmed forward by a Catalan hand, perhaps thats why it wasn't mentioned, I do believe Specsavers is quite cheap.

Yes - definately worse than Hicks. I've seen some pretty awful refs in my 65 years of watching Leigh, and he must be the worst ref. I've ever seen. And to think they will allow him to carry on. He should be demoted to running the line for the rest of the season so that he can learn from refs who are ten or more classes above him!

Two seasons ago on a wet midweek February night at Post Office Road Mr Childs gave THE most biased and outrageous refereeing performance i have seen in 23 years off watching Leigh, he has a problem with us that i assume goes back to Dewsbury being our big rivals, we didn't lose because off him but he helped a great deal.

I feel for you guys because we have had to put up with his poor displays for a while now. I agree heis the worst ref on the circuit and seems to think the game is all about him, when will the rfl finally do something about it????

I know this poster Fred, and Specsavers would be no use for Rick.....he'll only wear 'pie tinted' spectacles!!

He's just sulking 'cos when I took the pi$$ about their performance against Catalans his response was along the lines of.....wait 'til you play 'em - they'll rip you to shreads!!

The most important position a ref should keep at the play of the ball is make sure the defence is square and onside. Cstalan Dragons were neither onside or square I would say 60% of that game. Very poor officiating if you ask me. And I agree with the rest who say that there was an agenda against us going through.

On Child-related matters, anyone seen what Penky has put on Twitter (retweeted by Leigh Updates)?

Was it the 'lord' JC who sin binned Steve madden at fev last year for throwing the ball away after conceding a drop out?

Just wonder why the same rules weren't applied last night at the end of the first half?

Either way this man must not be trusted with any of our play off, or NRC games!

Guess who we will get now you have said that.

He's just another Cummings muppet.
He's just another Cummings muppet.
Another Cummings muppet.
He's just another Cummings muppet.

Sing along everyone.

worst case of Child abuse ever witnessed by over 200 people

I think that Mr Childs has made some crucial mistakes in every game he has refereed. Agar was quite right in what he said but quite wrong in the way he said it. Just a pity he did not send his complaint to the RFL in writing, and I am sure a leak to the press could have been arranged.

Leigh proved that they are a good team.

Why should they? They are making a fortune in fines from his reffing!

You should know that a Championship team is not allowed to beat a Super League team, especially one of the expansion clubs. Ben Thaler robbed us blind a couple of years ago when we should have beaten Catalans at Featherstone.

The Leigh players clearly thought that the Cats player bounced the ball as Donlan picked up the ball and ran while the inept person with whistle awarded the try BUT the linesman was just as much to blame

Interesting this. When we played Catalans in the quarters last season, they were on a run of about 7 or 8 successive defeats and struggling really badly with injuries. We felt we were in with a great chance of causing an upset. Sadly, one minute into the game and Sean Hesketh was dismissed for a lame high tackle that in any other game would warrant no more than a penalty to the opposition. Game over from that stage on. Think the ref that day was Ian Smith?

Just watched Cats first second half try 4 times. It does look like a knock on. I have to say though the ref was behind the try line and in the right position to see if the ball was grounded before it popped up. You can check for yourself if you fast forward to 49 mins 35 secs.

I thought Childs did not have the best of games but I do not believe these conspiracy theories.

One more thing we certainly have one very impressive side this season. I said awhile ago our best team for 30 seasons. Maybe I was wrong it is longer than that.

These Leythers ALL OF THEM are the real deal.

I think it was a shame last year what went on at Fax because i think we would have give them a dam good game. Looks like Leigh ran them very close, would have been good for the Championship if you could have just sneaked but it still looks really good to say what their salary cap is and to say what we are working with.

I would like to say that Fax will give the Bulls a run tommorow but we wont get close, last season i would have defnatley fancied my chances but it looks like the Leigh game would have been good on TV.

I don't back to conspiracy theories and the world is against us mentality of some Leythers. I just think Childs is completely incompetant and we got the wrong end of his ineptitude.

Please don't send him back to our league

I was listening to GMR. They couldn't make their minds up.

With ten minutes to go and you down 12-22 they were saying it was game over. Not long before that they said "You wouldn't know which was the Super League team here." They were most unimpressed with Mr Childs near the end.

It sounded like a great game, and without wanting to sound disrespectful to Leigh, they have every right to be proud of how close the game was, especially if the comments re: James Childs are correct. I'm sure a lot of people expected Leigh to get pasted, but by the sounds of it you had every chance to win.

Naturally I wanted the underdog to win, so I was absolutely hooked on the commentary when it was as close as it was.

A BIG well done to you, shame that the last professional RL team to be unbeaten have finally had that broken, especially if it really is as controversial as it seems, although I must admit I still hate your coach and wouldn't want him anywhere near Super League.

A competitive Leigh in SL would be great, though.

Sorry mate but you are wrong. I was there too as you know.

The Limoux lads were breathing out of their backsides in the last 20 and getting caught offside and constantly interfering with the tackle far too many times. Losing the ruck and then slowing the game down with lazy rugby isnt how the games are reffed at any level.

And that was pretty much it.

The biggest disgrace was the locals and club officials hounding out an 18 year old lad on the refereeing out of his changing room. Very brave that was.

[q penalising Higson when he pushed Blanch into touch near the end.

The Watcher thinks this penelty was for offside from the up & under.
