Could leeds have played on without touching him, and then gone to tbe video ref for obstruction by the ref?

Although this would be unfair on warrington and how.would you restart the game?

3 match ban for Bailey, verbal warning for Webb, both get £300 fines.

Bailey, 3 matches.


Webb, no further action

What a joke. At least that's more what I was hoping for in the sense that Webb is more difficult to replace than Bailey as we have plenty front row options, Webb is a key for us in attack and it would be difficult to just slot anyone there.

If the referee gets in the way of the defensive side it's basically tough, IMO.

Recalled this happenng in a game last season when Thaler blocked Leuluai from attempting to make a tackle on the line. Despite Thaler's apology to the Leeds player the score was allowed to stand.

In any case here neither Webb or Bailey would have prevented the Hill try as he powered over other Leeds defenders.

Joke.
Hope Silverwood gets a game at Headingley soon while it's fresh in everyone's memory.

We have the greatest sport in the world run by an incompetent bunch of clowns who make the 'RFU Old farts' look like Mensa candidates.

At least it's only March and Bailey can have a well deserved rest.

Shocking suspension and an absolute joke when Bridge and Moa get 1 game bans.
Did Higham get a ban?

You can live with a referee making a mistake like this that leads to a try. It's unfortunate, but it happens sometimes in the speed of a game: mistakes are made and Silverwood made one in his positioning from the tap-penalty. What's more difficult to live with is professionals being suspended or fined, fully considered after the event, as a direct result of a minor brush wholly resulting from this incompetence.

Maybe follow the Wigan "ultras" and make a banner that will show him!!!


Seriously though the ban is a joke and a 3 game ban is a joke. Silver wood has got in the way it's not as if someone has deliberately gone up to him and pushed him for giving a decision against them. HE has been incompitent in his role and got in the way of the defenders

2 match ban for higham, for attacking a players head. 3 matches for a ref getting in you way?

An absolute joke









It just goes to show TMFMISL has a target on his back from both oppo fans and the RFL.

How many games did silverc@ck get for being a pi55 poor referee, Im willing to bet a big pat on the back from cummins and co.

Doubt it. If Cummins patted him on the back he'd have to ban himself.

IF what Bailey did is worth 3 game ban, then why did Silverwood not send him off? unless he didnt see the incident of course........

Anyway....Kirke can cover for TMFMISL


He hasn't got a handful of SL rings for nothing!

Hopefully see Singleton and moore get a shot ahead of kirke for me.

According to McDermott he says he has 2 props chomping at the bit to take over at prop or words to that affect.
He went on to say if Bailey were to get banned it would be up to him to win the jersey back.
He said before the ban was known if he did push the ref he deserved a 3 match ban and needs to learn a lesson.
I`m sure someone can qoute it better than I have.

This comment pretty much sums up what a joke refs and the rfl are these days. Refs consistently bottling big decisions because in their mind it can be rectified at a later date.

However, for what is worth i'm amazed it even got referred to the disciplinary panel never mind a 3 game ban.

One is Moore and the other...surely not kirke?

What a f*cking joke - really!!!

Silverwood gets it all wrong and Bailey cops a three match ban, how is that justice?

I've watched this indecent several times now, both from the Sky footage and also from the amateur footage taken from the Southstand (which, surprisingly shows a better perspective of the incident than Sky) and Silverwood stuffs up.

When he blows for the penalty he should have retired BEHIND the defensive line, instead he tracks across the front of what is now a sliding defence.

OK Bailey shouldn’t have shoved Silverwood and that’s an absolute offence which needs to be addressed. A letter or/and fine but a 3 match ban?? A f*cking joke – an absolute f*cking joke.

I wouldn't mind giving him a pat on the back!




With the front of my car

Singletons injured

Presumably the player in question has been found guilty of making a deliberate physical contact with a match official.

Hopefully lesson sent out and lesson learned, it's not something I want to see creeping into the game no matter how poorly the official is positioned.

Quote ="Rastrick Rhino"Singletons injured'" He played on Sunday and was "very good" according to McDermott. McShane also praised, despite the claims he is not rated. I wondered about resting Peacock on Friday but am less inclined to now with Bailey absent. Would Leuluai, Griffin, Moore and Singleton be a strong enough quartet of props? www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/s ... -1-4339058

I could understand a lesson being sent out if pushed a la dicanio. But when the appeared focus was to defend the line and get to the tackle 3 games is OTT for me

If your going to get a three match ban for moving the referee out of the way, then next time Bailley will just have to ignore the ref and go to make tackle. If this means the ref gets flatenned , then he only has himself to blame.
