I think people forget Silverwood is a Leeds fan. Probably tried to over compensate his impartiality in the 2010 WCC. A better ref than bloke. Often found in the Batley Frontier on a Saturday night blind drunk.

Silverwood is a Huddersfield fan, well known across the game.

He's about as much of a Huddersfield fan, as Westerman is Clark's chauffeur.

Like Silverwood gave Leeds nothin in all the games that he reffed as stated by all your fans comments.. At least Childs loves you. Maybe

Re: Silverwood : Sat Jul 30, 2016 6:18 am  

Does anyone actually like a ref or look back with fond memories on any anyway?

from Lindop to Whitfield to Holdsworth to Ganson to Silverwood they are there to be disliked aren't they? always 'bent' against your team and a good get out excuse to why you lose games....Thankless task reffing, which is why in all seriousness i respect the guys who do it because i couldn't handle the job.

Won't stop me blaming them in the future though

Kirkpatrick was about as good as it got. And the RFL F***ed that up too

When KK started he was as reviled as James Child is now. I remember him being chased off the pitch at Wakefield.
I don't think the RFL cocked up in his case either, when they went full time with refs he was offered a position but due to his good fulltime job - as a banker(?) - he turned them down.

You are right. Back in the day he worked for a Yorkshire based bank selling asset finance deals.
