Well it looks like Cummings has really rolled that 12 this week in his choice of referee and video referee.

Warrington by 8932647893648902364890

Infamy Infamy theyve all got it in for me

We have a shocking record with Silverwood in charge!

This game could make history with both teams losing!!!!!

Im sorry but this is the sixth or seventh time we've had this joke now and not once has he done us any favours.

Silverwood is like a bad rash that won't go away.

At least we know what rules we'll all be playing under on Sunday.

What rules are those, Mick? Given that a common theme on here after Sunday was that the officials did not actually know the rules...?

That anything goes mate.

Forward passes the lot.

Silverwood two weeks on the trot. That's not fair.

Cummings read my comments on total rl and he's given us the referee who I said I didn't want.

The Referee on Sunday won't be the biggest influencer of the outcome. It will depend on which Bulls Team actually turn up, the one that beat Wigan or the one that lost to the Crusaders. Having Langley, Orford and Kearney would be a big help.

Evidence for that statement?

Are these stats up to date?

I can't make head nor tail of them.

It's actually the fifth this season. I'd have thought if anyone would have known refereeing stats, it would be you!

We've won 2 and lost 2 so far with Silverwood in charge.

Since 2001 with Silverwood reffing Wire games our record is:

2001 Won 1 from 3
2002 Won 0 from 1
2003 Won 1 from 5
2004 Won 1 from 3
2005 Won 1 from 3
2006 Won 6 from 10
2007 Won 1 from 3
2008 Won 2 from 7
2009 Won 2 from 6
2010 Won 0 from 2 - and we've only lost 3 this season!

Admittedly, we've not been the best side during that period but it's still a poor record - not one winning season!

two points here:
1. not one winning season- won 6 from 10? doesnt that mean we have won 6 lost 4 which from my maths means more wins that losses...

2. only lost 3 this season-
wigan L
saints L
Hull kr L
Leeds L

As said, we are 2-2 with Silverwood this season.

I've done the following stats late and in hurry so there's a small margin for a very small error but still:

Before 2010, in SL we won our first 11 Home games on the bounce with him in charge - overall W 12 L 2 (excluding SL Final which we lost 26-40 to Leeds)

Away is something of a mirror image - W3, D1, L8 including the last 7 on the spin lost.

Again prior to this year, Warrington Away were 9-14 with Silverwood. Home was 5 -D2- 9

As for Bradford -v- Wire games - we seem to be 2 for 2 at home, and 1 draw away.

Oddly enough, he's never reffed us v Wire in the Cup. We had him twice in previous Cup games - a home win vs Hull in 2006, and a home loss to Saints in 2007.

They may or may not be up to date but they perhaps don't go back as far as Richard Silverwood does.

I produced these last week prior to the Bradford V Leeds fixture over on SouthStander:

If Mick wants to update them to reflect last Sunday's result ...... I wouldn't be at all surprised.

You are correct sir - I was in a bit of a rush when I typed this!

www.slstats.org/Referees/9/Richa ... Games.html If these figures are correct, your 80% win ratio looks a lot better than our 27%. I think we have more to worry about!

Pretty soon all you saddos with time on your hands will be better able to utilise your time forming & running schools, without pay of course. It will be much more constructive.

They already do! Frightening isn't it!

Alternatively, it may not matter one bit who the referee is, and it might be more about the players on the pitch.

Just a though. I appreciate it's a wild and wacky one, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Fan of the late, great & truly awesome Bill Hicks DILLIGAF ?

Hah! Just as I thought. We have NEVER beaten Warrington at Odsal with Silverwood reffing, so clearly we have no chance. O ye cruel sporting gods

Well i see we got silverwood and ganson

. How silverwood has got the job of refin for us after sundays performance stuns me. Shocking he was for us and always seems to be aswell. It looks very doubtful kearney, langley or orford are playing so i think we are goin to get a right stuffing off lets be honest a form side. Warrington play 80minutes and bulls dont. I can see us been embarassed this sunday.
Bulls 10 Wolves 48

Hope im wrong
