here we go again, why is it everytime we have silverwood he is crap?

forward pass half a meter and he lets play go-on.

hes a disgrace!

Benefit of the doubt will be awarded to the team that is not Bradford. That Nero decision is an absolute disgrace.

Stevo's blatant bias spoils the game!

Should be well ahead - Reardon's drop and Nero's 'push' (ffs) saw tries at the opposite end, an effective twenty-odd point turnaround.

Going good, hope we keep it up in the second half.

this ref is crackers, he misses a forward pass whats half a metre forward then give one what might not have been a forward pass!

i predict that silverwood will give everything to the losing side in the second half and he will try his best to make it as close as possible.

im not just havin a go at ref for our game, ive watched him in other non-bulls games and hes always the same.

stevo is biased but the other commentators are aswell, saying leeds need to do this and leeds need to do that, but nothing about the bulls.

is it because they are so low down in the table and they SHOULD be higher up.

I think your onto something here with these poop referees and video referees because that was a definite try from McGuire for me

why go to screen when he lost it and it bounced. how many forward passes has anyone counted from leeds. is that the only way leeds can score?

didnt know a try was when you bounce the ball and it comes out of the hand before its touched down. from the other angle it clearly showed it bounced and coming away from the hand.

Laughable that Nero on Donald is a pen but Whitehead is throttled in the air as he takes the ball under his posts and that's all fine.

In the end though, drop the ball on their line three times and you can't expect to win.

this ref is a joke and he always will be. not just for bradford but for both sides all the game.
we passed it in front of our posts what was miles forward but this ref never seems to see forward passes apart from when they arent even forward.

dont think any supporter of any club likes silverwood

serious question: can someone please find out when the bulls last won a game with silverwood as ref? and how many games we have won and lost with this ref in the last few years?

it just seems that everytime we have silverwood we lose and everything goes against us.

Now you know how Leeds fans felt when Russel Smith helped you win a lot of derby games late 90s/eary 00s



On a more serious note the problem with Silverwood is he’s inconsistent. This years world club challenge game he looked like he had a personality swap.

Good luck next week

...just got back. That could have been a cracking game but yet again the officials spoilt it. Its a shame the bomb squad didn't force the abandonment of the game in the second half!

To progress as a team we needs to get rid of Sheriffe, Reardon and Sykes simple as.

Why didn't Orford play?

Nonsense, Reardon is no winger and should be playing at full back. Sykes is improving week by week and Sherrife had a mare today granted but he puts some hard yards in and gets involved.
Who would you replace these players with without compromising the rest of the team?

Well not really simple as. Two of those are homegrown and the other has gone ok this year.

Cant belive people actually stand up for Sheriffe, he is a joke.

with a different ref i wouldnt mind. it was a pretty good game apart from the shocking decisions made by the ref for both sides.

Leeds' first score is from a blatent forward pass
Reardon drops the ball over the line
Sykes is given a 15 yard head start by a PROP and still gets caught
Sheriffe drops a bomb 10 yards from his own line (leeds score in following set)
Sheriffe drops the ball over the line
Lynch drops the ball over the line


Those are the main reasons we lost, added to the fact that we were missing Orford, Kearney and Langley - 3 key players in our relatively small squad.

The video ref decisions are dubious, but both sides had disputable decisions so they pretty much even themselves out.

silverwood has never been a good ref and never will be. why he gets to ref big games like this is beyond me.

hope we get french ref next week as he is one of the best refs this year.

Kirke catching Sykes

Haha yeah that was bad, I was embarrassed for him. I think Nick Zisti could have caught him he was that slow!

wrong thread!
