I was at todays game and to say that I though Smith had a shocker is an understatement.
To not even penalize or even recognise the spear, was criminal and he deserves few games ban. Mind you, it was only in front of him, and was probably checking the wedge he had from Hudds - he was a joke simple as.
If that is the standard, God help us all.
Just watched the WCC, and again thought Silverwood was crap, jeez how long do you let them lie on before blowing up ?
OK he got a couple of decisions right, but overall, from what I've seen of the Refs this year they are woeful and the RFL need to sort it out.

Smith had a shocker as i said before the worst performance i`ve seen in a long time.

He was bad for both teams
Typical super league refereeing

I agree with you and thats what concerns me - he was beyond bad though....

Was there anything wrong with Mylers try??? It looked fine to me!

i was directly infront of it and can tell you that it was a TRY, myler grounded the ball and after that did it roll free. smith was behind myler when he grounded the ball and only saw it roll free but the touch judge (or what ever he does behind the goal) should of defo give it.

mr smith should be dropped to lower league for a while at least he was diabolical today poor for both teams and missed all kinds

Agreed

Bobbins.

Smith had a shocker, Myler scored without doubt, the spear tackler should have been given 10 mins at least, they were slowing down the play the ball and Hudds got away with stripping the ball on more than one occasion, I don't want to see Mr Smith again this year.

Your making it sound like he gave us everything!

I think that's his intention....

It would seem we're not the only ones questioning the quality of officialshttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/super_league/leeds/8542302.stmrl

Maybe you need to understand the officials signals to get a grip on what is actually going on in a game.

The in goal judge that you are on about, gave the try by standing up straight and still with his arms tight by his side. Ian Smith simply overuled him. How that can be when the IGJ was in front of Myler and had a perfect view compared to smith who was a couple of meters behind him is simply perplexing.

Smith didnt have the option to sin bin him. A spear tackle now is a penalty or if severe enough a straight red card. The tackle wasnt bad enough for a straight red so penalty and on report was the correct decision.
