Ref Silverwood suspended
Top referee Richard Silverwood has been suspended indefinitely by the RFL, reports the Times.

The 32-year-old has been accused of a breach of IT policy, when he allegedly supplied details of fellow match officials to the Prospect trade union.

The suspension means that the 14-club Super League now has just five full- time referees, after Ashley Klein returned to Australia last month.
