You all call Robert Hicks & Ben Thaler! At least Kendall is only reserve!!

[Southern Softy]

Should never be allowed near a RL ground ever again which means he will probably get the final.

Field late tackled by Hurrell - should have been a penalty and a sin-bin

Havard nearly had his head removed - should have been a penalty and sin bin - nothing to see - move along please.

Saints offside all day (Batchelor especially) nothing. Dark arts on the opposite side to the ref (Welsby on Cust) touch judges saw nothing.

Saints played WWF all day - it was horrible.

What a joke to have an official (I use the term loosely) in charge.

Cant argue with that really…….. i was appalled at how bad he really is……. Not got a clue that mon

[Mickw]

He was disgraceful today, should be dropped but Benthams puppet always favours Saints so gets the big games.

[Firestarter]

Well at least the second game being reffed properly ( up to now) taking the teams back 12 and keeping the game flowing….. good stuff

[Mickw]

Why wouldn't Child go to the screen for that second stains try I wonder ,all three chasers infront of the kicker he knew it and was told by Cust.
Should be dropped for that alone.

[Great grandad Harry ball]

Well, beat Saints despite some appalling refereeing. Child is just not good enough, never has been and never will be. Cannot understand why he didn't go to the video for the 2nd try, 3 St Helens players all well offside- having seen it live, its even worse on a screenshot. Perhaps the touchjudge (all of 2 yards away) had lost the plot as well. The offsides in the second half were nothing much than marginal, he let Saints get away with it earlier on.........and later on.
Be interesting to see what excuse the disciplinary come up for the late hit on Field by Hurrell. Earlier in the season that would have been a 3 or 4 match ban, but of course we are now 11 games into the season so will probably be a ban for Field............
By the way, well done Wigan on a generally excellent performance.

I was shouting "They're in front!" at the telly before the try was even scored! Very poor.
