Don't like this, mostly for the fact that there's gonna be a million whingers on here after the game even if he refs the perfect game. This won't change depending on who wins.

Interestingly whilst watching the C9 commentary in Oz they seemed OK and didn't comment on reffing. But on watching the replay on Fox Sports, you had the kiwi feed and they seemed a little critical at times of Silverwood.

There is only one word for this decision - DISGRACEFUL.

This presumably explains why Archer won "International Referee of the Year" to cloak this decision with some legitimacy.

It was a refreshing change at Eden Park to see 2 neutral referees for the two games and in fairness two good referring performances with little of contention in either games.

And then for the game that matters we are back to this FARCE and it brings international rl into contempt. Australia have the benefit of the best players, a tribal Queensland crowd in Brisbane for a team with 10 Queenslanders in it and to top it off a tame referee who in the previous game seemed to be on one to one terms with "Cammy" Smith.... If NZ do pull this off it will be against significant odds..and not even the hope of a level playing field from the ARL/RLIF.

It pains me to say this but the only option seems to be to withdraw our custom as stakeholders (ticket and merchandise buyers etc) unless the credibility of the sport and the international game we all love is restored. I dont even want to think about what a regular sportsfan (non-regular RL viewer) would think about this decision.

In my experience, they don't care.

Quote: belgianxiii "NRL ref for NRL final. What's the problem? If we had a SL ref we would have 26 players on the pitch playing to a different rhythm, which would be worse for NZ than an Ozzie ref.'"


Bingo!

Poor decision. The last paragraph is a though.
