Referees Training

[zaibatsu]

Just a question out of curiosity, do referees train at all?

I know that they would obviously do a fair amount of fitness training etc to be able to run around on the field for 80 mins and keep up with the players, but do they actually do training in regards to rugby league decisions, do they have practice drills on certain situations etc?

Just always wondered thats all.
