Right, coming back on. Back on here at FT, hopefully in a GOOD mood!

Big difference between taking knocks and being singled out illegally. Good on him I say.

Agreed.

Silverwood is a lousy ref who is easily influenced by the crowd and tends to favour the home side. Everyone knows that. No matter how justified the retaliation might be you can practically guarantee it will result in a penalty. We need to work around that and keep the aggression focused.

Basically Silverwood has told Luaiki "I'm watching you" so KR players have a massive advantage over Luaiki, Agar has to be very careful in this situation and the smart move would be to bring Luaiki off at half time and put him back on the field for the last ten minutes of the match.

Far outplayed Murrell, and why didn't Murrell get 10 for his off the ball on Long.

It's not a science experiment. If someone elbows you in the face or tries to pull your head off your neck you get 'em back.

Even if it costs us possession and field position?

I understand why he's doing it, but it would be a lot smarter not to IMO.

Not much structure to the game, but plenty of intensity and excitement.

While we're slagging off Silverwood, I'd like to submit as evidence exhibits A & B, Tickles illegal ball strip and Horne's knock on just shy of the line.

Morning/afternoon folks! Managed to find a coffee shop with free wifi and caught the last 30 minutes. Don't think my battery will last for the whole of the 2nd half, but I'm not sure my ticker will either.

Not a good display but the better team is losing. If anyone was wondering why Hall struggles to hold down his place then they should have a better idea now.

C LI N T Newton should've been penalised and Silverwood should've had a word with Lauaki.

I'd guarantee if it was the other way round that would've been the case.

Silverwood's a king twa t!

i thought tickle did 2 ball strips

Silverwood is a joke is he not supposed to be impartial he told Hame he was watching him as soon as he came on
