I think that has been atrocious this year. So inconsistent.. But what is done?? Nothing I imagine.
I agree with you but, you pay peanuts you know what you get. NRL Refs can earn up to $300, 000 PA. I don't know what RFL Refs earn, but seemed to remember a couple of years ago someone posting that it was in the high twenties. I don't know how many of them have other jobs, but I remember Hewer dropping out for a while because he could not afford to stop work and ref full time. Though i'm aware that paying more doesn't guarantee a higher standard, but it would give more choice of refs.
