 If the RFL won't do anything about him then there needs to be a clear out at Red Hall too.

 If that's a sending off i look forward to Wigan and most teams playing with 11 men most weeks!

 If he didn't send him off and put him on report instead you'd have a thread here moaning about Child not having the bottle to get the red card out.

As long as we see another half a dozen of those this weekend I heave no problem with it. There are probably 10 of those tackles every round. |

If referees are being consistent. I'd be pretty annoyed if it had happened to my team as I think would any fan of any team saying it was the right decision.

I can definitely see why Child has sent him off.
 
 Players need to be more careful if they're going to go in with that kind of force.

Well then there should be a dozen red cards every Round then, as there at least similar if not worse tackles. 
 
TBF, people go on about a lack of consistency in refs, but one thing they are all consistent in, is cocking things up.
 
I could it see why it maybe a yellow, but straight red? Nah, it's another blunder for Mr Child,    |
