Totally agree. Like a poster said before refs have a thankless task but he was really shocking last night.

At the moment Ganson is easily the best ref in Superleague, but then look at the competition, frightening!!

Yeah, was hilarious.

thought silverwood was excellent tonight.

Was a clear knock on and should not have been a try, watched again and the wigan player clearly has his arm in there, no try penalty to Warrington.

what was a clear knock on?

Westwoods knock on for the first try.

rubbish.

Every decision in the first half went for you, we had about 3 knock ons against us when the ball didn't even leave the players grasp.

EDIT: i meant i was disagreeing with you about it being ripped out and being a penalty to warrington, i think it was just a clear knock on.

Whoever mentioned about Cummins being untouchable has put his finger on the nub of this problem.

Cummins was a shockingly bad and famously biased referee in his own right. He's the only ref I ever remember beng physically attacked on the pitch because he'd annoyed the fans of one side so much. How the hell he ever qualified to be a controller of referees, I don't know. I can only imagine it was a 'jobs for the boys' thing up at Red Hall. But he now seems to be running his stable of refs like a personal fief. They are answerable to no-one, yet get it wrong time and again, often in the glare of the TV cameras. Even with the benefit of video replay, they regularly make crucial mistakes.

Silverwood alone has made mistakes of so serious a nature that, if replicated in a non-recreational industry, would mean him facing some kind of reprimand. His bizarre deafness to the hooter earlier this season, which allowed Hull KR to score what was in effect the winning try. The Saints v Wigan match in which Wigan incurred something like 20+ penalties by half-time; most of them were for virtually nothing, yet the second half of a match that was playing to a full house was rendered hull and void thanks to Silverwood's showmanship.

The guy is an out and out menace to the game IMO, but then his boss was too, and look what he managed to achieve. Unfortunately that's British RL all over.

???????????????????????????????????????????

HE'S AGREEING WITH YOU, READ WHAT HE'S SAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is saying it was a Knock on!!!!!!!!!!

Read the last bit though.....



He's saying it shouldn't be a try, but that the wigan player ripped the ball out. That's what i was saying was wrong.

Smart

You must not have watched it, a blind man on a galloping horse can see the wigan players arm in there.
