One of the better refs? Who can forget the forward pass that led to a try to Leeds against Hull KR season before last, when the ball went forward not one metre, not two metres, oh no mister, try fifteen metres.

Quote ="PTB"Questions that will never be answered: How come the RFL have an IT policy and didn't have an ineligible player policy until last year, when they made one up?'" It's because a precedent had never been set on an ineligible player, but Maurice Lindsey had been caught previously looking at www.dogsinthongs.com Well he is a bookie.

The pass was OK as was the final result.

Silverwood is/was the best of a mediocre bunch. Cummings' world is crumbling around him. The move to full time officials has bizarrely left us with fewer quality referees.

Eddie Hemmings said the other day that there was still a vacancy within the full time referees, even with Thierry Alibert joining. He must have been referring to this.

what more do you expect mate

Sounds like Silverwood doesn't get on with Cummings. RFL shooting themselves in the foot again by airing their dirty laundry in public. With such few people involved they should have got everybody in a room behind closed doors, passed apologies around, and then got on with it...

That's all about opinions, and I know you're wrong.

Might be a breach of the Data Protection Act involved in this, as well as RL regulations.

...don't think so, he was referring to the extra appointment due to gaining two teams this season.

Up until last week there was a job advert on the RFL website for a full time referee; that is no longer there.

Good Bye Silverwood you won't be missed.

Right now to get Ganson out

Thierry Alibert was appointed to replace Ashley Klien. The RFL want 7 full time officials so another full time official needs to be appointed (this is likely to be Jamie Leahy)

In relation to Richard Silverwood, he has been suspended by the Rugby Football League during an investigation into an alleged leak of confidential information.
He is at the centre of a probe into how the Prospect trade union received contact details of [uall[/u the RFL's match officials.

He is understood to have been stood down on full pay, though he has not refereed in Super League this year due to a knee injury.

I gave you the result and you're still bickering about a pass. Time to let it go

I'm still waiting for Leaguefan to bundle in to challenge people to see if they can do a better job.

Fairy Nuff.
























Was forward though.

I've got a better understanding of the Data Protection Act, does that qualify me to apply?

After talking to a local ref. The contact list is sent out to all clubs and any match official who passes a RFL exam so how can it be covered by data protection??

Because in that case the information is being used for the purposes for which it was collected.

However you want to spin it, the personal details of match officials are not collected so they can be passed on to a trade union without their permission.

The list differs to the one the clubs are sent.

Aussie Jason Robinson brought in to do Wire v Catalans on Saturday Night. Is he doing the WCC then?

Typical.....we have to learn of the appointment via Foxsports in Oz.

However, am not that surprised as Leeds might think that an to early Aussie ref announcement could hurt ticket sales......

At least he's had no visa problems.

Bring back Lyndop !
