Poor old James Child. Apparently the fans don't like him, the coaches blame him for everything and now even the RFL are shitting on him. The poor guy can't win, even when he does nothing wrong.

It's a pathetic decision and a dangerous precedent, which sends entirely the wrong message to players, coaches and officials.

He can go for making his position untennable, the RFL are disgusting, but what is to be expected of any organisation involving a Hetherington.

What is Hetherington's involvement with the RFL?

Child dropped to the championship, hes got Widnes this weekend. Even Ganson has seen something wrong.

He lost control of the rugby game from the first few minutes, allowing a punch on the floor and knees in the back by Catalans go unpunished and it set the tone for the game.

Catalans were at it in every single set. Childs was doing nowt about it. The RFL see this too. He’s been rightfully demoted for this week’s games. And Catalans have 9 players either given cautions or suspensions, but how they haven’t punished McIlorum for kneeing Clark (who’s never lost his temper in his whole time at Wire but did with McIlorum after he knees him in the face, he was furious!) I have no idea.

Apart from the RFL openly stated he hasn't been demoted. SL referees taking charge of championship games happens all the time.
