Thanks for having me. 👌

@SPQLondinium Nsemba hasn’t been charged which I find baffling

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

Sad news. What a great guy and coach. Had time for everyone. RIP John. Thoughts with your family and friends 🙏

[Rugby Football League @TheRFL]

The RFL today pays tribute to John Kear, who died suddenly on Sunday afternoon returning north from Wembley, having been part of the BBC’s commentary team for the Challenge Cup Finals

Our thoughts and condolences are with John’s wife Dawn, his family and friends

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

@SPQLondinium Yes, I said on Saturday Nsemba was the main issue

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

@SPQLondinium I was in the pub watching with sound off. What was said?

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

Boring now. Time for a change. Full house at Everton would have been far better

The Challenge Cup crowd was 56,383. That is the lowest Wembley figure for a game between two English teams (excluding the Covid impacted ones) since 1946. 80 years ago.

Nsemba for me should have gone not Walters

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

And so he should. Outstanding official. One of the best of all time.

Ashley Klein will retain the whistle and officiate State of Origin II in front of an MCG crowd that is tracking towards a rugby league record.

@Steviewire Maybe, but McLean made his debut at 18, became a New Zealand international last year, and killed it in State of Origin. We’ll always be a feeder system to an outstanding competition with the structure and governance of the NRL. I need to get used to it and stop comparing 😪🙏

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

Casey McLean. Just turned 20. Strange at 21. Wow. Long careers ahead. How many super stars do we have running around in SL at that age?

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

@ZacBrox @SteveMascord Ok cheers Zac

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

Don’t understand why anyone would say it’s not. It’s a shoulder charge, dipped into contact and whether it’s head or shoulder that is direct contact, Ponga has a responsibility to not endanger an opponent. It’s a red card the way RL is these days IMO whether you agree or not

[Fox League @FOXNRL]

A huge moment in #Origin I 🚨

Wow. What a game. Never disappoints

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

Really needs a shake up. Move it from Wembley to something more suitable. Awful look when not full.

[ᴀᴀʀᴏɴ ʙᴏᴡᴇʀ @AaronBower]

Ticket sales for Saturday's Challenge Cup final stand at just over 60,000, I'm told.

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

@VinnyP_MOT Yes, awful look

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

Such a massive disappointment to see Giants like this. The days of Brough, Brown, Jerry, Cudjoe etc, a tough pack, a well drilled team to this. They aren’t bringing anything to SL currently.

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

@4evalufc I had one but won’t argue 😂

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

Fergus McCormack has been outstanding. 🙌

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

@mogsyboy I switched off after 10mins to watch At home with the Fury’s 😂

[Richard Silverwood @SilversRef]

How the hell do they get away with that 🧐 surely goes against the integrity of the competition

Our side to take on Hull KR tonight. 👊

@robrambo14 @crunchwwrl Wasn’t a compliment
