Apparently scans cleared him of any broken bones. Concussion,swollen cheek/eye n a vicious headache.
Also, thanks again to the trainer from Stockton. She knew her stuff, did well helping keep the injured bloke calm and was all round helpful.

Great to hear! Thanks for the update. Will pass on your thanks to her. She does know her stuff. Pretty handy to have likes of her and senior St Johns ambulance officer within our ranks.

Can confirm Stoko are good at looking after injured opponents.

Is there a trainer at Stoko just to keep Wilso on the park?

I'm not commenting on the above incident but just wanted to gauge people's opinions on the refereeing this year? It's never been fantastic at this level but the lower grade games I've watched this year have been appalling. From a first grade perspective I can't remember a stretch of games with fewer cards (and it's not cause blokes are playing cleaner). The way it's progressing if the ref's don't assert themselves early with a couple of cards the game can just degenerate into a shit fight as blokes try and 'police' it themselves knowing that there aren't consequences. I'm certainly not saying that's what happened last night but from a players perspective you get a bit nervous about injuries due to ref's losing control.
I know nothing can be done about it, but I've certainly noticed it this year more than most. Hopefully it's just been us!!! Interested in people's thoughts?????

Yeh I agree some of the officiating has been terribly inconsistent. Soft calls coupled with refs letting clearly reckless tackles go. I do agree that if this isn't nipped in the bud early then players take it into their own hands. I've certainly been guilty of this. I think the problem is some of the refs have absolutely no people skills whatsoever. I would say that over 75% of being a ref would be interpersonal skills and how they interact with players. They have an extremely difficult job and the problem is there is such a small pool of refs to choose from so picking and choosing who has the best man management skills just isn't possible. Most clubs will take what they get as long as its an official.

Can confirm The Spy has had a spell on the sidelines for telling a ref how badly he was refereeing this year.

My thoughts exactly. You take a pay cut this year to play reggies?
