Probably the most inconsistent ref in the game

I have no problem with Silverwoods calls.
At the end of the day the team on the front foot gets the calls.
Warrington were on the front foot all the way with quicker PTBs and they desrved to get the calls.

It could have been different but Wire deserved it.

Silverwood is a 'home' referee and always has been. That call on the Briers ball steal was crucial as they scored in the next set when they should have been defending their line from the penalty. I hope he doesn't get the GF.

Not often when Rovers and Hull fans agree but in this case my knowledgeable friend from FC is right.

Bring back Ashley Klein . The standard of refs in this country is shocking to say the least .

its not what he gave its what he didnt give ie high shots

Briers may have tried to steal the ball, but it was coming out backwards and thus when Murphy touched it again it went forward of his fingertips, knock on, fair call. What you maybe should have got a penalty for was Morley flying in like a missile at your player when he was bringing the ball away from his line... however, calls went your way also.

totally agree with you as regards to this cretin,but for once we were on the right end of the calls..too many times with him in charge weve been done for petty things just like you were tonight so for a change i`ll take it...just hope we dont get him again next week

I think it's the neutrals that have a beef with Silverwood more than the Giants fans.

He could at least have shown some Bentham-esque bias as he's a Huddersfield lad.

Oh well.

its strip watching it again on extra time 2 in the tackle penalty plank of wood should have gone to the video ref its not what he gave it what he didn't give the ref should go back to part time because this lot are waste of money money the game could spend better in outer areas like marketing

Desperately sorry for the Giants but they engineered their own demise.
Silverside is a spineless prick.
Morley exocet, Bridge head-high, Westwood knees in ...unpunished ...the game stinks.

What ? Put some commas in. Can't tell what you're going on about.

Calm down fella. There is always next year. Think you need to target the trophy that counts though instead of popping your cork too early in pursuit of the hub cap.

Spot on - although I would add Carvell to that list too.

Surprise surprise....

Silverwood is a spineless piece of sh*t and should be nowhere refereeing at the top level.

Frankly, I'd like an inquiry into why he failed to penalise so many blatant offences in favour of the home team.

Did he fail to see them? In which case you must question the mental capacity of Richard silverwood, to be unable to process such obvious happenings.

I'd also love to see stats on penalty counts when the top 4 face off. I bet it favours the home team every single time.

Spineless pr*ck indeed.

Westwood got penalised for his knee's in....

On more than one occasion your lot had our lot under the chin pulling us backwards. You had Riley in the position on at least 3 different occasions and no penalty was given.

How loud did the warrington fans bellow though?

If you'd bellowed louder that worthless pr*ck would have probably penalised them.

I rarely criticise referees as they do a thankless job, but for once I have to agree with Eddie; the refereeing was absolutely appalling. There was 14 Wolves playing 13 Giants, and coupled with Ferres' penalties, Huddersfield was never going win.



Bad luck guys, but you still have a great side.





Good luck next year!!!!

Surprise surprise, Wigan & Leeds fans siding with Hudds fans.

Who would have thunk it?

FFS! Just got back from the game and can't believe the crap on here. Great game and the better team on the night won. Simple.
Silverwood was no better or worse than any referee this season. They are all poor. Good teams find a way to overcome it.
Good luck to Wire in the final and we'll be back even stronger next year!

Me too just got back, great game, gutted we lost, good luck to Wire in the final. I was really pleased with the lads tonight, thought we may just do it when we closed the gap to 2 points, but Briers magic in the end did us.

I think we've had a great season, and I can see more semi's and maybe final coming our way in the next few years, anyone up for 2014, 100 years since the Team of all talents won the job lot, if we can get a big prop to go with Larne and Taai we may not lose the momentum we get from Eorl and Koppy.

Grow up lads, thought the officials were pretty inconspicuous tonight, the way the should be. For people moaning about the Morley hit...it was legit. At too many people listen to the muppet commentators instead o using their eyes. Good game all round, thought you were gonna sneak it in the end, but just fell short. In other words, Crabtree is still poo.

Big surprise. People that actually go to the game don't have a problem. The Armchair Warriors up in arms.

Felt he missed a couple of things, but in general I had no issues. Having read this and twitter I think I will just delete off my planner as watching it on telly may change my opinions.

Roll on February.

That might be because they dont get the close up view on detail that TV provides.
If Giant fans that went think that the better side won then that's very magnanimous, it probably did.
It matters not now what anyone thinks.
I think the ref took the game away from Huddersfield owing to crowd pressure,but at the same time Huddersfield were their own worst enemy.
If players can't see the link between their actions in terms of penalties and tries conceded then they are over zealous or stupid.
