Such a shame. You give the job to the best referee and that is Silverwood.

I asked in another post last week, what would the cheating so and so's at Red Hall do to swing things in favour of their precious Swinoes? Now I know, it's like a sick joke. Ref should be Silverwood - no brainer.

Who refereed when we played at Warrington the other week and got hammered for penalties in the first half and had to defend 5 sets on the back of a blatant charge down the ref missed?

Everytime I've ever said a referee is the best in the game they always have a stinker so I'm keeping quiet.

Actually, I'm cool with Bentham. Apart from that decision at Cas when he spared the TJs blushes, he hasn't done too badly for us this season. And its his first Wembley so he won't want to screw up. Hell, we can't have Silverwood ever game!

Good to see Child has found his niche!

Not surprised TBH....
Every video/restart decision will go Whino's way especially after the stick i gave Ganson on his way home after the Semi!

I am not convinced re referees at TJs if that referee has spent the majority 90% say refereeing. I believe TJ is a different task from refereeing and when referees act as TJs they interfere too much and seek the limelight. I also think TJs should be rewarded and not passed over come what may when it comes to the biggest games etc.

Madge never uses the ref as an excuse and neither should we, this team is good enough to beat a referee. Its like the ol' story in boxing if you go to a place and you know your not gonna get the judges vote no matter what you do, thats fine, dont complain, just knock the opponent out then you wont have to rely on them!.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
