I'm past caring who the ref is

Generally the refs don't give penalties, they just tell you when you've given one.

We need to be disciplined.
People often look at the penalty count when they've lost but it's usually a case of giving penalties away when you are being beaten.

We do need to be disciplined...

But the referee also has to enforce the rules, not interpretations, equally to both sides which I'm afraid these two jokers don't do. I actually once saw Bentham ignore a touch judge raised flag at Catalans a few years back. Simply put we aren't getting a fair crack of the whip tonight, it's castlefords party and the officials have been chosen accordingly.

Don't mind Child as much these days. Thought he was alright at home against Saints and not as whistle happy as he used to be other than the bizaare obstruction call on MCB.

Worst referee around has to be Jack Smith, can't remember ever watching a game he's reffed, including non Wakefield games, where I haven't come away thinking he was dreadful.

I think Child blotted his copy book for us in the Millenium game against Cas all those years ago
His 42 penalties is still a record and completely ruined the game.

Not criticising the ref as such , more the rule interpretation. Last week against Leeds, McGuire caught the ball with his foot over the deadball line and we got the dropout, tonight the Cas player did`nt even catch the ball with his foot over the line and they got a penalty on the halfway line. What was the difference in the 2 plays and which one was the right call ?

This is a fine point. I mentioned this. I thought it was now outlawed that you could stick a foot dead in goal and touch the ball and it classed as a dead ball? So I was baffled when they got a 7 tackle set from Jowitt's kick off and we didn't get a drop out? What is the rule?

depends if it's in play or from the kick off

Re: Childs and Bentham : Fri Aug 18, 2017 10:02 am  

But surely you have to catch the ball to make it dead.... not bat at it with your arm...

Also can anyone tell me how cas got the tap 20 from our high kick to the corner... at the match it looked like we knocked the ball back or Eden knocked it forward, Lynne picked it up, stretched to try and score short/double movement. No way was it a try but surely it was either a handover, our scrum or a cas penalty?
