Is there a incentive for the top refs in the junior system to step up to the senior?And if so how does it work the ref chooses to go up or they have to be selected??
Just wondering if there is an incentive for good junior refs to make the step up or don't it matter whether u are above average or not and they just pick who ever puts there hand up first??

Not sure about the older guys but the younger ones who are identified as good ref's are being placed on nbn games to either referee the 17s or run lines on the 19s and 23s. I know one guy who has been refereeing for quite some time (still only 22) and has been asked to join the state league branch numerous times but he is happy doing the lower grade nbn and all age as he said the state league guys prefer if you don't play yourself.
