James Child is referee for Saturdays Challenge Cup Final

That's OK I've always thought he's a decent ref to be honest

Do not mouth off to this guy or he will cane us....

I agree. He’s a petulant child who doesn’t like players talking to him about anything

"Head of officials Steve Ganson added: "He is thoroughly deserving of the appointment after a strong start to 2022. James has a strong team of officials around him who we know will perform to a high level come Saturday in London.""

Need one say more.

I fail to see how not checking that players are onside from a kick that ends in a try in an important semi final on terrestrial TV, ( a massive mistake by any standards ) if that qualifies you to get a big final then it's about time Ganson slung his hook.
