I see he's remembered what to do to allow quick play-the-balls this week ...

Making his performance Vs Melbourne all the more crooked.

Like how now its over he starts giving penalties so it balances the count out.

As I said on the VT he's had a bit of a stinker for me. Though he has in no way been the difference between the two teams.

Nothing to do with Silverwood, the "Spineless RFL" constantly bow down to suit the Aussies!! Personally i think allowing the faster play the ball makes for a more flowing and exciting game, will be interesting to see if the way this game has been referee`d tonight, (not allowing any £annying about/holding down in the tackle), has set the precedence, with regards to how every other game is refereed for the remainder of the season. If it does, i can think of at least One team who is going to have to re-think their style of play.

I do not support either team, but I felt that Mr Silverwood got most but not all of the calls correct. The ones he didn't all went in saints favour.

Such as which incidents? There were no contencious calls in that game IMO.

Intresting tweet by Luke Burgess

"Some referees and video referees just don't have a clue about the game!I thought they were meant to be full time....."

Ditto amigo..
English RL is quick play the ball's & exciting Rugby (alot like our soccer lot)
Silverwood didn't cost Whino's 20 points.
Best team won
end of

We were poor tonight and despite what silverdud did or didn't do we were outplayed by the better team.

The amount of forward passes that were missed by Silverwood for both sides was amazing.I still would like to know why we bother having touch judges half the time as if the ref misses them,then they should spot some of them at least.
I am sure this season we are getting more like UNION where the pass has to be 2 or 3 metres forward for it to be given.

Swiftly responded to with: "I thought you were a pro RL player? Take a leaf out of your brother's book and STFU"

Right to. If he was a Premier League footballer saying that he'd be in a heap of ban trouble.

I believe you have miss-spelled this thread title.

From my understanding it is spelled “Cockend”

Did you or anyone else message that to him or is it just a load of big talk?

I think he probably will be in a bit of trouble. I'm sure someone at the Rhinos will monitor the player's tweets.

They often get RT'd by the official Rhinos twitter account (which I assume is Phil Daly) so they'll be aware of it that's for sure.

Anyone seen my Carly Simon CD ?

"You're So Vain" ...Yeah, that's one of hers

If you combine his second half last week at Hull with the first half tonight Leeds lost the penalty count 8 - 18.

Obviously that's meaningless, almost as meaningless as the final count tonight ending up at 12 - 12.

Cheating tw@! end of!

He wants to stop tweeting and concentrate on his job, I hope silverwoods tweet says "big lad is burgess but soft as crap!"

I think this epitomizes Leed's problems at the moment, they are in the same position that Saints were in when winning everything - they will blame anybody but themselves because they feel a divine right to success.

Whilst I agree that Silverwood's policy at the play the ball has completely changed (for the better) from the WCC game, and that the RFL haven't a clue what they are doing and need to sort it out, players like Burgess need to look at themselves before looking to blame officials.



This was ridiculous. It became blatantly obvious that forward passes were simply not going to be given unless they were American Football style. I'm sure the players probably realized this too.

Nah then.

It's been noted at PFUHQ

Thanking you kindly

Given what's gone on in Oz with Melbourne. I wonder if two expense claims were put in by the officials..... one for the RFL and one for the Storm.... just an idle thought with no substance whatsoever

silverwood had a decent game, stop blaming the ref ! we were beaten by a team that on paper should not have beaten us, and they wanted it far more than we did....end of. Some players just dont cut it for me and the sooner they are weeded out the better it will be.

SPOT ON MATE...BUT JUST A REMINDER TO EVERYONE...SAINTS WON 2 POINTS THATS ALL.
