I think this video needs to be used by the club

Pah....load of bollox

Silverwood was in the way. End of.

That's a joke and a waste of hearing how pathetic do the RFL look calling this one in?

If that's the incident then that is just laughable.

HIgham also charged for nasty high tackle on Burrow.

Wouldn't surprise me if trying to knock a guy's head off is regarded as a considerably less serious offence than attempting to defend a crucial play the ball on your own tryline.

Whilst Westwood gets off scot free for a tackle not too dissimilar to others cited this week cf Jarrod Sammit.

This.

I also notice on the "home video" that someone posted that Ablett also gave him a push. Not sure why he's allowed to but Webb and Bailey aren't

Did sammut get cited? if anything his looked less intentional than both westwood and bridge. Obviously common tackle technique in Warrington.

If silverwood wasnt in the way he wouldnt get pushed. Besides have you not heared Ryan Bailey does what he wants. I expect the mandatory caution and nothing more

Common sense is something that does not exist at the RFL.

Shouldn't D!ck Silverwood be in the in goal area once the PTB has occured?

Farce!

You were doing ok until this....

Are you really suggesting Kirke can adequately take the place of Bailey ?

As others have suggested the poor positional sense of the (experienced) referee should not result in punishment of the players IMO.

Cannot believe they have been cited for that. A incompetent ref getting in the way. Surly nothing will come of that.
I wonder if it has been picked up or instigated by silver wood in his match report. If the latter further proof he hasn't got over keeef comments after the world club challenge a few years ago!!!!!

I don't understand, surely Silverwood noticed the 2 incidents. Why didn't he take any action on the field?

Surely he wasnt intimidated? I mean they always have the nerve to take action on the field rather than copping out and letting someone else sort it out

If they have been picked up by a panel from watching the. Video and not silver wood moaning why has ablett not been cited he shoves the inept ref out of the way as well

But surely if the ref didn't feel it warranted on-field punishments (even as little as a penalty or 10mins) then how can the video panel pick it up? It's not like an incident in a tackle where the ref might be unsighted and quite understandably in a fast game can miss something. For it to be worthy of a trip to Red Hall surely Silverwood must have noticed the incidents. If he did, why didn't he take any action. If he didn't, how can it be worthy of a trip in front of the disciplinary?

It's just bizarre.

MRP have obviously felt it necessary to bring it up. Doubt Silverwood will have as he would've said something before the play restarting.

That to me says Silverwood knew he was in the wrong.

I think silverwood had a word with bailey before play restarted. It was not clear at the game what had happened but presume it must have been regarding this.

He did, but it wasnt for the acctual push/contact. It was because Bailey then waved his arms about and protested when the wire scored on the same play

I had to watch that about 3 times before I even noticed he had been slightly pushed because he was in the way. It's not like he was shoved when it could've been avoided, he was preventing the defence from sliding.

Crazy decision.

Barley saw Webb make contact. Bailey seemed to push him with arms outstretched, but obviously didn't seem to be looking at Silverwood when he did it, so may not even have known it was the ref. Wouldn't be surprised if one of them cops a ban, but again the RFL need to show consistency in this.

Dirty cheating 'steward that Ryan Bailey . Hang him , draw him , quarter him, burn his heart ...

TMFMISL

The legend that is Bailey .

Classic .

That play was close to where I was stood , and my brother , at only his third live game, questioned wether the ref was interfering at the PTB . Had it been a Wire or Leeds player stood where the ref was stood there would have been a penalty awarded to somebody .


Was he offside , interfering , not square , or obstructing ?

Or all of the above ?

We're constantly told by their apologists that refs make far fewer mistakes than players. That being so, surely it would be perfectly fair for clubs to cite poor instances of refereeing and the refs to pick up a ban when merited. Personally, I'd let Silverwood off with a caution for this one, although I'd make it plain that the backchat and arm waving at TMFMISL ae completely unacceptable.

Funny one this, when coming off is line Bailey did bump into Silverwood, and whilst he made it look accidental he knew what he was doing. Silverwood was/should have been looking the other way at the play of the ball though so was this picked up off video? Or was it for when he started jumping in Silverwoods face when Wire scored their dubious try?

I didnt see the Webb incident, can only assume he tripped over one of his own forward passes and accidentally hit Silverwood.
