it had to happen didn't it?

Wonder if this will push him to move on earlier. The crying little sod.

amazed that he managed to stay on the pitch till the end with two foul mouthed outbursts like taht.

i can't wait to see the back of him in the super league. No one could deny he sets a bad example.

No more Cunningham when we play Saints

Silverwood just seems to accept it though, just like last week with Keith Senior. Ganson would have given him 10 minutes for that outburst.

Not the first time this season though is it? He seems to be getting worse.

he's becoming a worse ref than alibert.

Graham is everything that is bad and currently ruining wendyball, we do not need it or him in our sport!!!!

He'll come back next year, I'm unfortunately confident of that.

thats the other thing that amazed me, eddie and clarke, saying, ooh you can't do that, whether its the GF or not.

He's been doing it all friggin year.

Seems to be a trend for both Saints and Leeds to resort to unsportsmanlike behaviour.

I quite enjoy watching Graham get all upset. Cause it usually means that saints are under pressure and losing the plot and game.

What did he say, I was at the game and didn't purchase one of those daft ear pieces.

I was suprised he stayed on the field for that.

Silverwood probably knows he can't send him off because he was probably told he had made the wrong call by someone into his earpiece.

The incidents where Wilkin and Graham blew up with him were absolutely ridiculous. He was ultra harsh with Saints tonight yet O'Loughlin gave Wellens and Foster haircuts and bruised cheeks whenever they fielded kicks and he wasn't at all bothered.

The one Graham spat the dummy over was laughable. Tomkins touched it first, it hit Gleeson (Offside) then goes further forward and another Wigan player drops on it. Referee's decision? Play on.

What happened tonight is Saints were frustrated by Wigan's defense and some of the decisions by Silverwood throughout the game. This resulted in them giving Silverwood their opinions on the decisions he got blatantly wrong and then he reacted by being just as childish and giving everything to Wigan. It was a very unprofessional performance from the referee.

next excuse please!

That's not an excuse. Nothing the referee did changed the outcome, but the last 20 minutes he was in as much of a strop about Saints as they were about him.

Play off round one...Saints v Wolves ..exactly the same thing only that night Silverwood was giving everything to Saints. Again, it wouldnt have chnaged the outcome but for a big chunk of the game it killed it as a contest.

Still think Keith Senior was on to something... Arrogant!

Saddened - are you seriously suggesting that Silverwood gave decisions to Wigan out of spite? Jesus.

James Graham is the best British scrum-half this country has had for a long time, he has the classic scrum-half cocky attitude. You need that so you can direct a team around the field from first receiver like James Graham does.

In the final 10 minutes yes I am. He didn't like the abuse he was getting and the reactions to his mistakes, he was very aggitated by it all late on, turning whistle happy.
