Pah....load of bollox

Silverwood was in the way. End of.

Re: Bailey & Webb Charged : Mon Mar 12, 2012 7:25 pm  

That's a joke and a waste of hearing how pathetic do the RFL look calling this one in?

Re: Bailey & Webb Charged : Mon Mar 12, 2012 7:27 pm  

If that's the incident then that is just laughable.

Re: Bailey & Webb Charged : Mon Mar 12, 2012 7:30 pm  

HIgham also charged for nasty high tackle on Burrow.

Wouldn't surprise me if trying to knock a guy's head off is regarded as a considerably less serious offence than attempting to defend a crucial play the ball on your own tryline.

Whilst Westwood gets off scot free for a tackle not too dissimilar to others cited this week cf Jarrod Sammit.

You would have thought the RFL would've wanted to avoid drawing any attention whatsoever to Silverwoods god awful positioning in that incident rather than charging 2 players over an incident everyone had pretty much forgotten about. Running right in front of and obstructing the defensive line at the in that situation was idiotic, it was a penalty, he was in control of the restart why restart it when he wasnt ready?

This.

I also notice on the "home video" that someone posted that Ablett also gave him a push. Not sure why he's allowed to but Webb and Bailey aren't

Re: Bailey & Webb Charged : Mon Mar 12, 2012 7:41 pm  

Did sammut get cited? if anything his looked less intentional than both westwood and bridge. Obviously common tackle technique in Warrington.

If silverwood wasnt in the way he wouldnt get pushed. Besides have you not heared Ryan Bailey does what he wants. I expect the mandatory caution and nothing more

What a joke the RFL are. Silverwood got obstructed 3/4 Leeds players, it should be him been spoken to about his positioning. There's sticking up for the ref's and there's using your common sense. Obviously common sense hasn't been used by the RFL.

Common sense is something that does not exist at the RFL.

Re: Bailey & Webb Charged : Mon Mar 12, 2012 8:11 pm  

Shouldn't D!ck Silverwood be in the in goal area once the PTB has occured?

Farce!

No need to see that sort of behaviour at all.
No problem for us, move BJB to full back, bring in Chisolm on the wing against Salford to see if he can hack it at this level. If he fails then bring back Lee Smith on the wing or at FB.
No worries in the pack either, bring back Kirke or Moore.

You were doing ok until this.... Are you really suggesting Kirke can adequately take the place of Bailey ?

As others have suggested the poor positional sense of the (experienced) referee should not result in punishment of the players IMO.
