some of them are former players,but from what I have seen they certainly haven't been biased to their former club in any way,on the contary if anything

No idea who should get the GF in Prem. Matt O'Brien seems to have the most relaxed style and the most brownie points with the players I have spoken to.

What grade do you referee and what is the 'Old Faithful'?

You fine gentlemen & ladies of this forum are the 'Old Faithful'.

As for the grade I referee, as you well know RM, we referees do not have a grade, we are appointed to a group. As for me, I am part of what is called the 'Established' group. So most weeks you will find me involved with premier & reserve grade (as there are 10 Established Refs, and only 5 Premier games every week, we get rotated a lot).

Occasionally we get a PSA 1st or U20's game, I have no issue with this, I trust the Association to make the appointments as they see fit. It's a pleasure just to be involved in any game on a Saturday afternoon.

Do any of these referees have club allegiances?

And if so, should that be taken into account in regards to who does the finals?

Are you Welsh? Are you serious, what sort of allegiances are you talking about?

I myself have attended pre-season training at three Perth clubs to help improve my fitness leading into the season, does that mean I should be disqualified from refereeing these clubs?

We have a few referees who have been players for clubs in the past, should they be not allowed to referee these clubs?

What about if someones father is a life member of a club, should they not be allowed to referee that club through association? Where will it stop?

All referees that take their role seriously have NO bias when performing their role, they referee what is in front of them. Even RM when he referees Paly v whoever in 4th or 5th grade isn't biased as a ref. (Though is very biased as a supporter).

Would you stop a Neddies player, who has joined Rockingham due to his work change from playing against Neddies, just in case he likes them and may let them through? of course not, so don't spout this crap on us.

Glenn Jackson gets to referee the Chiefs quiet often in Super Rugby.

Having once been a Lingerie Model...does that preclude me from refereeing a Lingerie game?

In no way whatsoever. It's your extensive career as a letch that precludes you from that appointment.

I It's your extensive career as a letch that precludes you

I thought that would be a KPI.
