I'm almost there myself.
Great way to stay fit, be around the game, and make some cash as well. Sure beats running on a tread mill. I think.
I think you just proved my point about attracting the wrong people by raising the pay
i agree with experience being important @Canucks4Ever , but having said that even those guys have problems reading a tackle and the malice in it. shite the 2 guys IN the tackle never agree on it most times.
But the experience of having played in a tough games in order to know when to let games play and when to nip things in the bud, is important.
I still say that the increase in pay lately has neither improved reffing nor got us any new good ones. Will even more money do it?
