There were multiple venues where there were no referees appointments on Saturday. Not withstanding sapdads point on referee retention etc, there’s a disconnect between “Northerns referees” and “community referees” where it seems that officials are forbidden from doing both. Additionally the costs to become a referee are ridiculous, if northern and the zones were fair dinkum about getting referees on board they would make it free to register and provide free equipment for refs as well.Originally Posted by Izzy
