Hull FC have made an official complaint to the Rugby Football League over the performance of referee James Child.<\/b><\/p>\n

Coach Richard Agar described his performance in Friday night’s 20-18 defeat to Castleford as ‘disgraceful’. <\/p>\n

And chairperson Kath Hetherington told BBC Radio Humberside that she has complained to the match commissioner. <\/p>\n

“Referees are going to make mistakes,” she said. “But, if a player isn’t up to it, the coach drops him, and the Rugby League need to look at this.” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hetherington added: “There’s a level of competence at this level and you can’t accept a certain level. <\/p>\n

“When players from both sides are telling you it’s a joke, it’s time the Rugby Football League listened.<\/p>\n

\t\t\tI saw this bloke referee a trial game between Salford and Hull KR and I thought: ‘I’m dreading when we get him’<\/b>

<\/p>\n

“It’s not the first time this particular referee has been called into question and I would expect them to have a look at it, the same as we would if a player kept making mistake after mistake, week in and week out.” <\/p>\n

Child, who is in his third season as a Super League referee, awarded 27 penalties during the game, as well as dismissing Hull FC player Sean Long and sin-binning Lee Radford. <\/p>\n

“Just a disgraceful performance,” said Agar. “I don’t know what the point is talking about the game. <\/p>\n

“The game was completely ruined by him. It’s baffling. <\/p>\n

“He won’t be under pressure will he? He’ll be backing up in Super League next week and we’ll get a sheet round telling us all his decisions have been the right ones, I guarantee you that.<\/p>\n

“I’m angry. I saw this bloke referee a trial game between Salford and Hull KR and I thought: ‘I’m dreading when we get him’. <\/p>\n

“Sure enough he’s backed it up. I’ve got seasoned Test players in there coming in shaking their heads in disbelief.” <\/p>\n

“It’s just been a good game and a good spectacle completely ruined by one bloke.” <\/p>\n

The defeat for Hull sees them lie in 10th in the Super League table, having lost six of their opening eight games.\n<\/p>\n
