Smith, i love you, but you best have been playing possum there.

WTF

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possum I've no idea either.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possum I've no idea either.

Playing dead?

Ref had a reasonable game tonite I thought and i cant stand the T%%T

You must be kidding right?

what about the drop out he gave us when it was clear that 2 saints players carried over the back line....

and that's just one example...

dont know why cos he loves leeds

No they never, the ball had gone dead before the saints players got near the ball.

What about him awarding a 20 meter tap when Myler never grounded the ball?

OR scruffy elbowing Graham in the head after 2 mins

Your joking right, did you see the world club this year, oh and the peformance at wembley, and before you say anything we lost to the a side who peaked on that day, its all down hill now trust me

Anyone who thinks that we would have won with a different ref needs their head testing. I didn't see Silverwood spunking a passed ball into touch first tackle, or kicking the ball on first tackle when we hadn't had hold of it for 20 minutes, or lying on, or being un-square at the PTB or lazy head high tackles.

He was good tonight. Made the right calls in terms of the balance of play and the holding down etc.

He got three decisions wrong in the whole game IMO. One was where Myler didn't ground the ball and he didn't refer it to the video ref, which would have resulted in a Saints try. Then I think he may have evened this up by not referring the dropped ball for Flannery's try to the video either, as technically it may have been a tackle in the air, despite the fact Riley was never going to catch it. The third one was when he gave Warrington the scrum following the short kick off that was palmed 20 metres forward by a Warrington player before Saints knocked on.

and Saints knocking the ball dead and giving a dropout.
