When is a red card not a red card? : Mon Jul 22, 2013 8:56 pm  

When the ref is as weak as James child, awful awful tackle, cop out of the highest and it could have cost you the game with GOB being the 1st choice kicker. Green sin bin was a consolation but they should have been down to 12 long before that.

When you play for Wigan it seems

Ryan Bailey away at Catalans , similar challenge , nowhere near as bad though . Red card .

Childs saw it and bottled it , simples .

contact to the head or not, it was a dangerous and reckless challenge and he should have walked.
we have had 2 sent off for much less than that recently, poor decision im afraid.

Couldn't see at the match how bad it was. Was the contact to the head? What did he use to make contact (elbow, shoulder) ?

Similar to so many others, Sam Moa vs London last year, Puletua vs Catalans... both of which were awarded red cards!

We lost a few fella's with yellow cards for shoulder charges against Hull KR too.

Definite red card for me. Wigan's discipline in the second half was dreadful. Child completely bottled it.

Yep straight red.

The fact Wane took Taylor off straight away showed I think Child was the only one who didn't see it as a straight red.

ye totally agree bottled making a big decision no good it been on report and him been banned for a game against London or something. He penalised dudson aswell for punching an arm he did exact same thing a few sets later and nothing. to be fair the officials in super league are shocking there embarrassing at times to be perfectly honest. Good win though thoroughly deserved.

You need to almost decapitate for Child to send some one off, the other annoyance will be the disciplinary knowing the Wigoons have a semi final coming up and might produce the get out of jail card.
