Definitely naughty. I think the look Silverwood shot him afterwards was worse, though.

Some players can question argue touch the ref and it never gets looked at, if your a "Character" you can get away with it

Nothing in it, looked a friendly gesture nothing malicious.

Silverwood is such a self important ****.

He was demonstrating that he was being wrestled after "held" was called. Can't believe he's copped two games for that.

He was a bit fired up before, backslapping a leigh player for making a mistake.

here here,cant abide him...would love to know what the punishment would of been had a sts or wigan player done this

No issue with the ban. You can't put your hands on a referee, I know he was demonstrating and he was fired up but still. Once you allow touching the ref, it's much harder to draw a line. I'd feel the same if it was a Saints player.

Prat of the first order

He did it twice. Imbecile.

Now we're another body down.
First a spitter, now this. Are we a team of numpties, ffs?

Agree with Saints #1 here.
Any contact has to be dealt with severely otherwise it's the slippery slope.
I just want consistency on this though and will be hacked off if others d the same and no action or a warning is given.
But as one of of more consistent players it's a big loss.

If he did it twice,why didn't Silverwood show him a red?

Currie was gras'ed up by Emmitt..."he just pushed you"

That the best you can do..

My only problem with this is Luke gale did something worse earlier in the season and got off with it. A try had been awarded against castleford and Luke gale was clearly not happy with the decision, he then barged past the referee who I think was Ben Thaler who then looked at him, yet that was the end of that. I'm fairly certain that one was worse and more obvious than the Currie one.

This is absolutely ridiculous there was nothing in it. There are far worse things going on in the game and like someone else posted there is no consistency. Bennie got his one match ban for the neck pressure tackle seen 3/4 since nothing done by the RFL. McChloride takes Travis Burns off the ball and kicks Wilkin in the head in the Saints game nothing done about it. How does that work

This is not Wire bias I think England was lucky to get 4 matches what he did was disgraceful whatever led him to do it. You just want perspective in the decisions and consistency.
