''OWNERSHIP OF THE GAME''

as some of you are aware my boss is heavily involved with Rugby Union, well because there were no Australian Referees in the recent RWC, 'NSW' has decided to have the referees 'take ownership' of the game, they must do a pre match report on what they expect will happen Shocked & write down what he'll do, & give to his referee's coach to read

eg BRIGHTON V SOUTHS

the referee would put something like (without knowing the exact terms etc) ''Brighton backs are strong so expect many knock-ons'' ''Souths are a quick running team who throw the ball around'' this player always goes to his left etc etc

then after the match he talks to his ''referee's coach'' for feedback, he then does his own report on what he did right or wrong & what he must rectify for the next match

by wednesday he must do a prematch report for the next game & the cycle starts again

i can tell you that every referee in South Australia is not happy with this at all, it takes too much time, it makes it too premeditated & so on & btw at a recent game because of the premeditation of the referee a certain team was awarded 10 penalties in the first 12 minutes

i just hope we in footy, never see umpires take 'ownership of the game' with a predetermined outlook on the upcoming match

absolutely R&B, i've read both the pre-match & post-match reports & as i said the people in South Australia can't believe it & don't want a bar of it, but they have to follow the ARU (not NSW as i said) rulings etc

R&B, if i think of it i'll show you a copy on friday night Wink

Thanks, bayman. I think I'll be working during both games though on Friday night.

Hopefully I'll get to have a quick chat.
