well i was right near the screen

anyway the main thing was we won now i hope we dont have him for the semi final or even final

Agree that silverwood had a shocker (what a surprise) but I must say I think the shockers went both ways......lol......he's consistent if nothing else!

am I the ony person who thinks that Silverwood actually penalised Mozza for playing the ball when he wasn't tackled?

If you watch the incident Moz gets thrown over but isn't actually tackled so maybe the referee got it right, although it was very harsh to penalise him for that.

soz mate, I didn't notice your post.

that is exactly as I saw it!!!

Silverwood clearly shouted "wrong mark" meaning he penalised moz for playing the ball from a place other than where he was tackled.

Honestly think that there are no good refs anywhere....If there is one,please let us know...

It doesn't matter whether it was the wrong mark or not tackled or whatever else - at that stage Silverwood was desperate to give them a penalty and he found a way.

The bloke is an absolute abomination of a referee, who like Ganson visibly takes pleasure from awarding an incorrect decision and does so often. I've heard loads of people praising Ganson on here too - look again at that first video ref decision and tell me he isn't an incompetent St Helens nice person.

There's an even longer list of mistakes he made that went against Wire. Just accept defeat for once: it wasn't the ref's fault, it was Bradford's.

I'll let you into a secret. It wasn't where the pens, but when. Why did we have the ga e stopped with a player behind play whilst not suffering from ahead injury?

Because Bradford conceded a penalty.

Seemed to pick both. But if he wasn't tackled he cant play at the wrong place, and if he was tackled and played it from the wrong place then why did he say play on.

Just watched the match on i player. Still baffled @ the penalty against Mozza. He was tackled & thrown down, got up immediately to play the ball which he did correctly. No doubt if Mozza had asked Silverwood where he should play the ball from he would have been penalised for that!

Davies on commentary said "that's a big call", for me I agree with the other posters in that Silverwood was looking for a reason to give a penalty

I assume you're a huuuuuge WUM.

Both Moz and two bradford markers, considered him to be tackled, as they all were ready for a play the ball. That was the single worst decision of the game.

You can predict when Silverwood will look to give a penalty against Warrington. This idiot is so transparent.

The one surprising thing he did was to turn the ball over to Warrington when everyone could see that it was a repeat set for Bradford. Bizarre.

How the hell did he get the Anzac test? The bloke is a pedantic, game spoiling, self promoting fool.

Best Ref for me is James Child, that says an awful lot really.

Vinnie brings ball out of our half - tackled, getting up to PTB, Orford tackles him again and dislodges ball. Should be a flop and pen to Wire.

Silverwood - gives knock on against Wire, TJ stood 5 yards away offers nothing !!

Yep, and it's worth noting that as it happened, Silverwood had his back to the play-the-ball - the only ref I've ever seen who quite often turns away from play at the pivotal moment.

A typical Silverwood performance, as expected.

Walking out of the ground a few Bradford fans were shouting at us that we only won because of Silverwood. Interesting viewpoint...

Just watched on Iplayer.
Menzies try was legitimate, although I thought it wasn't when I was at the game.
Silverpud clearly shouted held when Morley was stopped, but Moz was then thrown over by the tackler. Penalty was for "wrong mark". Jiffy said the decision was "harsh", which is quite controversial for him.
Does anybody know why, when Benny W was pushed back over our line, we didn't get a penalty? The original tacklers were joined by another for the push, which I thought was now illegal, and have seen that penalised this season.

Your not referring to Warrington gaining momentum in Bradford's 40m area, when a player 20 metres away is down injured, not interferring with play and Silverwood stops the game immeditaely? I really can't see that being the case.

The only thing I can think is that the backwards momentum did not stop and then restarted by the additional players and as Benny's ball carrying arm didnt hit the grouns he technically wasn't "held".

To be fair, I think the tackler was originally behind Benny, but then moved around the front so that he wasn't pulling him, which would (should) have been a penalty. Good play.

Silverwood < Clown.
