arguably the most naturally gifted player in sl. my friends at work are all saints fans and they say that it was lb who got them
to the cc final (a few years ago)_ only to be switched for b.goulden.. I'm not just saying this from last night and from many other performances;
he is absolutely quality and irreplaceable. Hope he keeps going for a few years cos we'll miss him more than any other player when he retires.

He's no Brett finch... That's for sure.

In the words of Brian Clough

'it couldn't have been offside, because the referee didn't give it'

Scoring offside interceptions? Bang on!

he was infront of the Ref no doubt but silverwood had took us back 12 meters so i can only assume that's why he wasnt given offside.....

loads of crap refs that cant police the offside rule take teams back further than the ten, and then allow players a bit of lattitude....

Keep choking like that with all the possession we gave you and you won't even make the play offs. Widnes

Funniest thing about the "forming the scrum" incident was the thick Wigan forwards doing so ten yards away from the mark where Silverwood was stood.

Not crying, just stating a fact - he was offside.

We were the better team by a mile, but couldnt finish to save our lives. Silverwood gave you the 50/50s and before you start - i'm not complaining about the Luakai call, despite the fact spade face westwood tried to start a fight on the same play that won you the game.

We might have some forwards back for the play offs though. Winning away without Harrison, Solomona and Carvell as well as Evans and Ratchford in the backs looks pretty good to me. It also would help if we used all 17 players rather than 16 as we did last night with Dwyer not getting on from the bench.
