Could leeds have played on without touching him, and then gone to tbe video ref for obstruction by the ref?

Although this would be unfair on warrington and how.would you restart the game?

3 match ban for Bailey, verbal warning for Webb, both get £300 fines.

Re: Bailey & Webb Charged : Tue Mar 13, 2012 6:22 pm  

Bailey, 3 matches.
Webb, no further action

What a joke. At least that's more what I was hoping for in the sense that Webb is more difficult to replace than Bailey as we have plenty front row options, Webb is a key for us in attack and it would be difficult to just slot anyone there.

If the referee gets in the way of the defensive side it's basically tough, IMO.

Recalled this happenng in a game last season when Thaler blocked Leuluai from attempting to make a tackle on the line. Despite Thaler's apology to the Leeds player the score was allowed to stand.

In any case here neither Webb or Bailey would have prevented the Hill try as he powered over other Leeds defenders.

Joke.
Hope Silverwood gets a game at Headingley soon while it's fresh in everyone's memory.

We have the greatest sport in the world run by an incompetent bunch of clowns who make the 'RFU Old farts' look like Mensa candidates.

At least it's only March and Bailey can have a well deserved rest.

Re: Bailey & Webb Charged : Tue Mar 13, 2012 6:32 pm  

Shocking suspension and an absolute joke when Bridge and Moa get 1 game bans.
Did Higham get a ban?

You can live with a referee making a mistake like this that leads to a try. It's unfortunate, but it happens sometimes in the speed of a game: mistakes are made and Silverwood made one in his positioning from the tap-penalty. What's more difficult to live with is professionals being suspended or fined, fully considered after the event, as a direct result of a minor brush wholly resulting from this incompetence.

Certainly will be interesting next time Silverwood refs at Headingley, especially if any bans issued later.

Maybe follow the Wigan "ultras" and make a banner that will show him!!!


Seriously though the ban is a joke and a 3 game ban is a joke. Silver wood has got in the way it's not as if someone has deliberately gone up to him and pushed him for giving a decision against them. HE has been incompitent in his role and got in the way of the defenders

2 match ban for higham, for attacking a players head. 3 matches for a ref getting in you way?
