Why?

Corruption goes on in all walks of life, so why is it ludicrous to suggest it MAY go on in rugby league?
.

It may go on in rl, who knows, but I personally don't think Childs is corrupt, more incompetent and way out of his depth. If you read comments on here, the VT and Cas board you'll see its a wide range of teams that are on the wrong side of him, he's not Phil "I heart Wigan" Clarke

So your saying Childs is bent ,so what could be his motives ,casfan ,bribes .....choose your words very carefully

I'm not Saying he is bent, I am just looking for answers as to how I witnessed the worst performance I have ever seen from an offical at any sporting event.

I would love to simply put last night down to the fact that the guy is out of his depth, but some of the decisions were so baffleing it did leave me asking myself some uncomfortable questions.

As I said before, the performance last night was either incompetant and totally unacceptable or a blatant display of cheating. I stand by that remark.

So Cas won only because of Childs decisions ...........its all so clear to me now ,how could i have missed it!

See you down at our place lets hope for a better ref,and let the action do the talking

Re: Childs : Sat Apr 02, 2011 3:16 pm  

there is no point debating who should or shouldn't have won, as realistcally we will never know. With a better Ref Cas may have turned in a great try scoring display similar to the one against crusaders, Hull may have backed up their display at Quins with strong running and quality tries but we will never know because the Ref didn't allow either team to get into their stride. Lets just hope that when we meet again we have a ref who allows the game to flow and lets the headlines be about the game and not about the ref's whistle.

I drove to Hull and back from Newcastle last night just for the game. I'm glad I did, I thought it was an enthralling game. Both teams tried to throw the ball about. Both teams where well up for it. It was very tense and very closely fought contest the whole way through, and the result could've gone either way right to the death. I thoroughly enjoyed the game as a spectacle.

However, I do wish (not because I am a Hull fan) that Yeamo had managed to sneak over in the last minute to secure victory. This is because all the justified criticism of the referee's performance would not then look like sour grapes. It really is not. Cas showed up well and are deservedly 2nd in the table, they looked dangerous with ball in hand and defended very well. I did not see a gulf in the teams that the league table suggests though and thought Hull deserved something from the game.

John Childs should be embarrassed and ashamed of himself. I have never seen such a complete and utter inept refereeing display in 20+ years of watching rugby league. The awarding of some penalties was baffling and the inconsistencies quite simply shocking. I really do hope that the coach and/or club put in a formal complaint to the RFL or the RFL take it upon themselves to at least review his display. It is pleasing to read that several Castleford fans (on these boards) have also been gracious enough to admit that some of his decisions left them bewildered. They say a good referee is one that ghosts through a game relatively un-noticed. Well it would appear that last night John Childs wanted to be the highlight of the game and he certainly succeeded in that. It is of course impossible to say what the result of the game would have been with a different referee, but I do fell in such a closely fought contest that his influence alone impacted on the result.

Well played to Cas on the result and well done to the fans for making plenty of noise.

As a Cas fan I was dreading this game one the basis that Childs was the referee.

Having watched TGG for 50 years and seeing some 'giants' of the game including some very strong refs. Eric Clay, etc etc, this guy is the pits.

How can it be when you go to a game wondering how the match will pan out,ie will Cas revert back to 'BRADFORD' form, will Hull's recent form continue, yet the focal point ends up as James Childs.

This guy has been fast tracked to Super league by 'the powers that be' S. Cummings.
My son played for the U18's and U21's and had the pleasure (sic) of Mr. Childs abilities(???) and it was obvious then that he had no respect for the players at this level.

This person (I hate to use the term referee) is the Frankenstein monster created by the RL Hieracy BUT we the RL loving public are the one's who are suffering due this guy's total ineptitude.

He sent off Scott Moore at Headingley for an inoccuous challenge which left Matterson seathing ang changed the outcome of the match
He was in charge of whistle feast of a match last year at WR in which he infuriated the fans in the first half, was injured, falled to trap for the second half, substituted by a linesman, and the second half was an absolute pleayre to watch.
If any one has a DVD of the world cup finals notice who was on the touch line, yes you've guessed it.
Guess who came on waving his little flag, you've got it in one
When there are major matches in RL that require a neutral ref gues who can be found on the touch line, JC, (not him)

I'm glad that BOTH coaches are unhappy with this guy and the sooner he is relegated to the championship (or Oz) the better.

A complete and utter to$$ pot

Best description of an attention seeking, inept buffoon.
Good luck for the rest of the season, will be at your place later in the season, love going to cas
