The former Super League referee disagrees with almost everyone on a controversial call

Referee Marcus Griffiths failed to act at the time, allowing play to continue and with Russell immediately back on his feet, once the ball was finished the next play, the video referee became helpless and unable to intervene. The incident was reported but no action was taken during the game and Leeds went on to win.

It is something which has prompted pundits to call for a change to the Super League rules, while Huddersfield interim head coach Luke Robinson has underlined his belief that the incident, which happened just before Leeds’ third try , helped swing the momentum in the Rhinos’ favor.

However, Silverwood, who retired from refereeing in 2016 after 15 years officiating in Super League, failed to see what the fuss was about.

“Nothing in Lisone for me,” he wrote on X. “Arm is stuck on impact, then pops.”
