Thought I would bring you up to date on Paul Mellor and Henry Perenara. Both are refereeinf in the Cronulla District and numerious games through out the week They have refereed more games in a short time than most referees in a 2 year period. Yes they are lucky to have the opportunity to do this. Thats life. Both have shown that years of playing at the top grade is of great advantage. In particular awareness around tha playing field and understanding of players attitudes. Their fitness level is far above 95% of district referees and this is of great advantage to them. It does not neccessarily make a referee but it makes it easier to referee when urgency and being on the spot to make a decision is required. They will be doing their Leve 2 in September at my course and hoefully will be in the Jnr Reps next year. They are both up to it.
