Quote: tvoc "Silverwood awarded 13 penalties in the 1st half and about 2 in the second - did someone have a word at half-time?
Probably did for Leeds' chances to add any further points as kicking penalty goals is about all that is on offer when McGuire's under-rated passing game and Burrow's individual darts are missing from the team sheet.
For once Briscoe appeared the most enthusiastic of the Leeds back three with Hardaker particularly lethargic.
As for the sending off - why shouldn't the video referee/s make a contribution to the decision. Percival appeared concussed and took no further part in the game so something had happened whether Silverwood or the touch judges had seen the incident clearly or not. I imagine Silverwood asked for the assistance.
What is McDermott quoted as sayingand, if he hasn't, then it's a big call, a wrong call in my opinion."
Presumably he'll see it as a correct call once he's had time to review it then.'"
because they arent allowed/never have before nor will they again. just typical RFL lottery with the refs. i would love to see the VR assist the ref, be fantastic, however in ANY other game thats a leeds scrum. instead its a saints pen and leeds down a man using ruls never used before or again =/
