Frailty said:Jason Robinson will referee his 12th first grade game this week...
Last week he did the roosters v parra game...
The previous two weeks he was not dropped but injured....
Last Year he replaced Steve Clarke for the Bulldogs v Parra game.. (remember when clarke was carried off)
He is young referee he gets along really well with the players because he listens to the them but makes it clear who will referee the game... He works well with the captains..
THe bloke is one of the nicest blokes you could meet... Hey last year I tackled him (accidently?) in a game of touch football and he just laughed it off... maybe he was making fun of me..... :?

Yeah i will speak from experience.. I ref in the Cronulla Association and its not as easy as people think.. And its not like its just the older games like the 14's where you cop it from, its in the 7's, its ridiculous..
Though in First Grade its a different thing, when they are in First Grade they are there because they are meant to be good refs, but half the time they are crap so i dont mind giving it to them.. But Jason Robinsons a good ref..
