Silverwood was shocking tonight.

Inept, shocking and disgraceful.

I never like saying this but the way Silverwood officiated the game, kept the Quins in it. The laying on and holding down was shocking at times. The Quins players may as well of brought a sleeping bag and an alarm clock into the tackle with them.

Also Harlequins scoring of a blatant forward pass through Melling on 12:00 minutes.

Lies.

The two crossing penalties he did us with. Never in a million years were they peanlties and don't get me started on the old man with flag who couldn't keep up with play.

Ok maybe I do, but if Cummings is happy with this then something is wrong.

I agree on that one though.



Also, did anybody else think that Orford's disallowed goal blatantly went over? It landed right behind the sticks.


Also, L'Estranges try should have stood.


My rants over now.

Sure seemed like he was giving everything to Quins.

But he missed several forward passes of ours too.

I don't rate Silverwood at all and never have after the disgraceful refereeing performance at Hull KR a couple of seasons ago. If I was as incompetent at my full time job, I'd be in prison by now for manslaughter.

silverwood didnt keep them in it, bulls couldnt string 3 passes together. If we was playing a team with any sort of organised rook play we would of been nilled. Was so flat and boring. we tried one pass and danny Orr i think it was ended up scoring the other way.
Only player who looked half decent, well word class was Brett Kearny. was brilliant

Hands up all Rugby League Fans......Is there any Referee who is any good out there?...............Name One....

I must do then. I was in the middle of the popular terrace and it looked like it went over to me.

It hit the post then ended up right behind the middle of the sticks. If it had hit the post and gone back out, how would it have ended up there?

I've had no complaints with the officials so far this season.

Tonight some of the decisions were head scratchers to say the least.
There was a complete lack of consistency tonight.

Take last week for example. Both teams were allowed to lie on. It both teams are doing it, then it's fine with me.
The lack of consistent decisions is the bug bear for us all,

It hit the left hand post and bounced sideways, it then landed on the ground and bounced forward. It may of even glanced the other post but it definately didn't go through.

It didn't go through. It bounced about a yard in front of the try line just to the right of the posts, and the bounce of the ball sent it into the in-goal area behind the sticks - which is why it appeared to you to go between them. But it definitely didn't

Alright, fair enough then.


Any ideas why L'Estrange's was disallowed though?

No it didn't go over.
I was in line with the sticks in the Tetley's stand. It hit the post and rebounded 5m out in to the field of play.

I was a long way away but presume he was just short.

It looked to me as if he got it over the line by a fair bit. I thought it could have been denied for double movement, but when he was on his back I can't see how that would be given.

No idea then mate, all I do know is the ref had a much better view than both of us.

Aye, but that could have been said at millenium magic

.


I wouldn't complain too much about the L'Estrange one, it was just the Quins first try which peeved me.

The L'Estrange no try was for a knock-on over the line.

The hooter was about to go so we'll let Silverwood off with that one.

No it wasn't, I saw the ref signal it was a double movement, I was more or less in front of it in The Tetleys Stand. He was brought down quite short and picked his arm back up and scored.

Correct to disallow!

That was my first impression from the other end of the Tetley's stand

guessed it was double movement but from far end of pop side looked like he was brought down on his back then reached out over his head to touch down over line without his arm touching down first. but no real complaints about that one. more annoyed about the crossing penalties tbh. seemed like everytime we got in a try scoring position the ref looked for a reason to give a pen against us at times.
