Ref's are like parking wardens or traffic cops; it takes a certain obtuse and narcissistic personality type to want to do it in the first place, so it's no surprise that their foibles and peccadilloes are in evidence on the field of play.
I thought Silverwood had a pretty decent game. A few calls I didn't understand but I was too far away to have a clear view. I was not in a position to dispute them since it was not clear whether he was right or wrong.
I felt he did well.
Tim Roby is someone I've never seen have a half decent game. Particularly when he has reffed us in recent years, Hull FC twice and Saints he has been abysmal. Probably the worst ref going at the moment.
I would say Roby is the worst then followed by Hicks and Stokes.
I would have Bentham and Thaler in my preferred refs then Silverwood.
Even though he baffles me at times, 70-80% of the time I'm happy with Child so would put him in my top 4. (I know many will not agree but it is just an opinion.)
