Silverthon to take charge on Friday : Tue Apr 21, 2009 5:11 pm  

Yes the same bloke who gave St Helens 19 penalties in the same fixture last year and Bradford only 5.

We may aswell just not play and give St Helens the points as Silverwood will give St Helens everything.

I'm, not happy at all.

Well I wouldn't label Silverwood a cheat but I do rate him as the worse ref in SL.

He is a fanastic ref, consistant and fair. I love him

During last year's match he should definitely have given the Bulls a few more penalties. The trouble was he would have been justified in penalising the Bulls at every single PTB given that we were completely unable to to cope with their greater speed. We were lucky not to be down to 11 men for most of the match.

I hope it is just the ref's performance that decides the outcome of the game. A performance like last week and it won't matter who the ref is.

You were happy when you beat Leeds thanks to the ref. That's your happiness for the year.

Why was it thanks to the ref? Why should the ref be thanked for not awarding no-tries?

To be honest, when you're turning up to play at Saints with the combined brilliance of Ricki Sheriffe, Michael Platt, Paul Sykes etc I don't think the referee will come into it.
