never heard of a sinbin Silverwood? Killed the game with his whistle.

Clint Newton is a dirty tvvat.

no advantage? wtf?

TBF i thought he did ok today and controlled the game quite well , i think he also did well to try and stamp out Hull KR's tactic of hitting/shoving players off the ball which i'm sure i saw about 7 differnet occasions.
He missed one or two things but all ref's do in every game and considering there was lots of off the ball stuff as well as technical stuff i thought he wasn't too bad!.

Hey! You know the rules. We have to find something wrong and complain about it, with any entertaining game.

oops, sorry then

it was a game strewn with errors, but to be honest i found it more entertaining as a result.

if all teams and ref's played 'perfect' RL it'd be a bit dull to be honest.

I do think that a 2nd ref to police the ruck like in Aus is needed though

Just about my take on it too

I thought the handling of Lauaki was shocking. He missed all of the tactics used to wind him up such as heads and elbows instead choosing to wait for the reaction and jump on that.

Apart from that it was a decent performance in a typical Derby.

I thought the ref did ok considering it looked like one of the dirtiest and niggliest games i have seen since the 1970s. Every tackle had a little bit of niggle elbows , heads fingers in the face knees from the second man ine tc and off the ball incidents going on all the time. I reckon Silverwood was just waiting for it to kick off

That was the main problem I had with him. He went into the game with a clear, pre-conceived idea that he was going to keep an eye on everything Lauaki did and that's not acceptable. His prejudice meant that he missed everything that was going on from the Rovers players to try and wind Lauaki up and he jumped on every reaction from Hame. It's stupid from Lauaki to react like that, he knows (or should do) that he'll be penalised, but he wouldn't have had to react if Silverwood had done his job and given the penalties that should've been awarded in the first place.

Spot on.

have you not seen a Hull derby before? its always a dirty, niggling game with potential to boil over into a fight!

Can somebody explain to me why Silverwood brought Hull back about 60m down the field for a penalty to us?! Where is the advantage?! He let play go on for about a minute, waited for the tackle, then brought it back and gave US a penalty?! What have I missed to justify that decision?!
