i thought I was average and that my fitness wasn't where it needed to be. first of all I would like to congratulate you on a very impressive and polished performance. Your performance overall was consistent and you are clearly a competent referee for your level. Your application of law was...

Hi, In my game today a few times after I had given a decision I was surrounded by at least 4 players from the same team questioning why I had given it. I had cautioned players for running half the pitch to do so. Would you also submit a separate misconduct report to highlight the issue to the CFA?

Clearly my RDO thinks I'm good enough to do it or I wouldn't be doing a double jump from 7-5. I think I will spend a year at 5 before 5-4 but I will be seeking advice of others before making that decision. Im awaiting my assessment report and once received it will be posted on here for ideas of...

@svenny76 you need to indicate at the application time that you wish to do a double jump. You need to speak to your RDO/RDM if you with to do this as you need their support to do so.
