  • 2014 NRL Year Book
    NRL Referees Col Pearce Medal 2014 WELCOME Welcome to the 2014, 11th annual awarding of refereeing’s most prestigious prize, the Col Pearce Medal, which occurs at the culmination of the closest NRL season in history. As we are all aware, the closer any competition is, the greater the level of scrutiny on match officials and their performances. This season has been no different. The start of the season witnessed a new manager of the squad with Daniel Anderson moving to take up an opportunity as the General Manager of Football at Parramatta. As with any change of leadership this brings some level of apprehension and concern. All officials should be very proud of their efforts, dedication and commitment to the season. At the season launch early this year, I spoke about these qualities and I am confident to say that those in the squad delivered on them. For that I thank you. No official is successful without the wonderful support of their family and close friends. I thank all the partners for the support in the endless hours that the referees were away from home. Additionally, for those times when they were at home but distracted by the demands of officiating at the elite level. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my staff for their unbelievable support and hard work throughout the season. Your contribution to the success of the squad this year is immeasurable. As in any season, individuals and the group have had highs and lows but one of the most significant improvements was the level of support that the NRL Referee squad received from the NRL hierarchy including Nathan McGuirk, Todd Greenberg and Dave Smith as well as the NRL Commission.

Proposal to: increase the annual frequency of major events; and increase function space, patron numbers and timing of functions on non-event days at Bankwest Stadium September 2019 Venues NSW owns a portfolio of publicly owned sports and entertainment venues in NSW, on behalf of the NSW Government. Executive Summary Increased Frequency of Events Since Western Sydney Stadium (Bankwest Stadium) opened in April this year it has successfully conducted 21 major sporting and cultural events, welcoming in excess of 350,000 patrons. The Stadium presents as a world class facility capable of hosting a number of different major sporting, concert and cultural events. This has led to considerable interest from sporting clubs and event organisers in hosting their events at Bankwest Stadium. The Stadium is also part of a network of venues which includes the Sydney Football Stadium and Stadium Australia. The Sydney Football Stadium is currently being redeveloped, whilst the redevelopment of Stadium Australia is scheduled to commence in June 2020. The stadium redevelopment program leaves Bankwest Stadium as the only Stadium available in the network for approximately two (2) years. To ensure NSW remains competitive in the national and international sporting and event market both during the stadium network redevelopment and after its completion, Venues NSW seeks to increase the annual frequency

Where sponsorship deals have not been reported, the Sponsorship Today team actively seeks data through web searches, annual financial reports and contacting sponsors, agencies and rights holders. Most sponsorship deals are not reported and, of those that are, the majority do not provide accurate fee or duration data. IMR estimates unreported fee values through comparisons with similar deals, contacts with industry insiders and through its long experience of creating sponsorship analysis reports. There is no guarantee of accuracy of estimates. The sponsorship industry is also known to overstate sponsorship fee values. Such reports are frequently based on the maximum potential value of a deal and might include the total should all incentive clauses (such as sporting success) be met and no morality clauses invoked.
