Tim Roby joins NRL

[langpark]

Thoughts on this?

I think he's a pretty good ref (and only 25 years old!), I just hope the NRL doesn't ruin him. Surely he won't ref first grade this year though, they'll want to give him ample time to adjust to the differences in rules and of course, to the two-ref system.

I'm amazed he's reffed that many games, wow. I always thought of him as a touchie.

 

[RL The greatest game]

He can't do any worse than some of the Refs we have in the NRL at the moment. Matter of fact i think he will do a lot better than 99% of the NRL refs i have seen this season.

Looks like he makes his NRL debut this weekend, albeit as pocket ref.
