I don't think they allow SAASL refs to do the Fed games....

I reckon Aldridge is up to it from what I've seen of him so far....wouldn't have too many preconceived opinions about either team.

Leon Hanessen(spelling)? Has seen these games before and is a very good referee.
Whoever gets the gig lets hope they not put some 17 year old kid on the linesman duties......

Why would the age of the linesman make a difference? I've seen a 10 year old and a 75 year old flag for throw-ins and offsides in a proportionate manner.Outlaw 2.0 wrote:Leon Hanessen(spelling)? Has seen these games before and is a very good referee.

These 17 year old linesmen will be the referees our league needs in 5 years time, so I wouldn't be giving them a hard time.

How about both teams who are full of quality experienced players pull some ego back and show some respect to whoever is officiating.Outlaw 2.0 wrote:Leon Hanessen(spelling)? Has seen these games before and is a very good referee.

We love them all & most come in after the game or hang around for a chat about their performance even Petros. They would all be putting their hand up for this appointment & apparently one has even completed his fitness test to make himself available.legga wrote:I am sure who ever gets the gig there will be some moaning on the monday about how crap they were, toughest gig about.

Re: Who should officiate the biggest league of the year ????
Personally hope Craggsy or Brad French get the job. Probably the best 2 of the refs going around

Big ponce you need to worry about what referees they have in div 2 next year. I will always moan about petros or any ref that performs below par. At the end of the day they don't change their minds once the score card goes in and the sun rises on Monday and we all have dirty hangovers.....A draw might stop the moaners maybe what do you reckon big poached egg. Come on down big ponce and see how two decent teams go about business at the pointy end of the league table.....bigpond wrote:Come on legga you were moaning abouyt Petros against West Beach and were looking at lodging a report.legga wrote:I am sure who ever gets the gig there will be some moaning on the monday about how crap they were, toughest gig about.

In my observations to date, he is worse than Matthew Breeze!
There are some great refs out there, but not this guy - yet. Maybe he will be one day with a lot of hard work and honest, constructive feed back from designated inspectors.

Out of the blokes on this list, I recognize Carlos, Steve & Craggsy - the others I might recognize if I saw them.
Steve is in my opinion the best, Carlos & Craggsy think they are better than they actually are!
You know a ref has had a bad game when both sides are frustrated with the officiating (I lump Carlos & Craggsy in this category due to recent form).
Refs don't tend to talk to teams much before the game these days. In my opinion, a pre match chat from the ref always led to a better standard of game from the players & the ref.

I'm thinking whoever the ref is they will be equally as bad for both teams, that list doesn't fill anyone with confidence
Let's just hope it's 11 vs 11 the whole game no excuses

All in brawl will happen if Gregan gets the nod.
I have the utmost respect for the men in the middle and it is a thankless job but this bloke is just plain and outright useless... Constantly leaving both teams scratching their heads at his decisions... He even blew the whistle for no reason last week then said 'oops, sorry, play on"... Time to concentrate on the Juniors for him I think...
WHY DO THEY CALL IT OVALTINE? I MEAN ITS ROUND, WHY DONT THEY CALL IT ROUNDTINE.

The best referee is not always appointed. Referee told me that a referee can not have the same team within three weeks. They are rotated.
