Ecky what happened we thought u was the best

[Ecky]

Well clearly it's not about who's the best.......

Actually, I dunno how this is voted upon, or whether the Refs' Assoc tell Rugby WA who it should be.


Totally agree about Ryan Tyrell - I only saw Rocky twice this year and he got top votes from me in the game I reffed and I'm pretty sure he got top votes from the ref in the other game that I did the 2nds & ran the line for 1sts (that was when they thumped Kala). Tyrell is a very classy player.

Good to see John Greens name up there. I still remember the day he broke his neck playing for ARKS 2nd grade like it was yesterday. Also played alongside his kids in ARKS juniors.
