The tournament wasn't promoted to Referee's and strangely (& by that I mean politically) WA's most experienced 7's Referee was not advised of the tournament.
Now the regular season is over, all referees are ranked, allegedly in terms of ability, for the finals. So, here they are:
1. Peter Hilgendorf
2. Sean Popperwell

All Six Nations, Tri-Nations, Churchill Cup, World Cups , Nthn/Sthn Hemisphere Tours, Lions Tours etc have for at least the last 15 years been allocated by the IRB Referees Committee. Since the 60's...
In another first for WA rugby, the Chairman of Referee Selectors has called for a pow-wow between club coaches and the referees involved in the finals series. Apparently this is to explain "how" the...

We have about 70 these days covering all grades in WA.
Unfortuately the WARURA think that any referee who actually talks about refereeing should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute. So, sorry, no names.
Not at all. THe Laws of the Game are complex and require a certain "je ne sais quois" about thier interpretation. I can only add value and a real life perspective to the Kaplan-esque discussions that...
Re PSA Referees. THe WARURA has had to change it's appointment pattern for PSA games. When I started reffing I would do a PSA 1sts, then head off for a Colts game, then run touch for firsts. We are...
