We just can't expect the RFL to be consistent though unfortunately

I think the difference is that when I played, there was always someone breathing down your neck for your place, unfortunately with referees we don't have that luxury. I take your point about maybe harming his confidence, but I think the major harm would be to his ego. But you can't just sanction the type of errors that were mad on Saturday. I don't get to see any championship rugby, so know nothing about those referees, but how do those guys get a chance if the current crop in SL are permanent fixtures regardless of performance. Although I have never been a Childs fan, I think the way he was treated was a worse decision than just letting Hicks carry on.
