On January 2nd 2009, the Association lost one of its Patrons and a genuine friend of Penrith, Les Matthews. This 43rd Annual Report of the Penrith District Rugby League Referees Association is dedicated to Les. May he rest in peace 2 Penrith District Rugby League Referees Association Vale – Les Matthews LES MATTHEWS I recall the time when Penrith referees were fi nding (30 April 1939 – 2 January 2009) it tough to break into the Junior Representative squad and asking Les what we had to do to get more The passing of Les Matthews in members into the squad. “Put me on your mailing list” early 2009 brought a sad and was the reply. Simple as that, Les wanted to know who untimely end to the life of a man was refereeing where so he and his team could make who had dedicated himself to unplanned visits to the district. We’ve never looked the game of rugby league and, back. in particular, to the coaching and development of referees. There is no doubt about the role played by Les in developing our members that have gone from district Les was a member of the New South Wales Rugby referees to junior representative, graded and NRL League Referees’ Association for over 30 years and was referees. This also extends to the advice provided to awarded Life Membership of the Association in 1986.

His love of the game and the a good friend, advisor and mentor to many of our Referees’ Association burned so brightly that he lit the members. It was well known to many members that Les spark in many young referees, some of whom shall considered the Penrith Association his second home; continue to carry his legacy as a torch into the future”. maybe it had something to do with the post meeting convivials that were held.

  • 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.

I nearly always think about him when the Bulldogs are set to take on Parramatta. There isn’t a year goes I by when I don’t have at least one conversation about this player who, on one fateful September day in 1998, saw his career come to an end. He set a new benchmark for horrid individual performances on a rugby league fi eld. Now, to give Carige’s performance context, it is important to understand the simmering hatred between Canterbury and Parramatta at the time. The Bulldogs and Eels were wild rivals in the 1980s but that was an enmity built out of style and the pursuit of superiority rather than any underlying natural disposition of dislike between the two outfi ts. These days, the rivalry remains strong but it is a very one-sided deal with little respect given to the Eels by the Bulldogs faithful. But, in the 1990s, the feud was hot – the hottest feud in the game.

  • NRL Grand Final Officials
    Who is rugby league’s greatest referee? There have been many contenders over the years: George Bishop, Darcy Lawler, Keith Page, Mick Stone, Gary Cook and Greg Hartley. But for mine, it’s between Col Pearce or Bill Harrigan. Born 43 years apart, they were so different in so many ways. But where it counted on the paddock, they were both top-shelf whistlers. Pearce – very calm, very polite, very methodical – refereed 343 games between 1947 and 1968, with six grand finals and nine Tests. Harrigan – very flamboyant, very controversial, very flexible – refereed 392 games from 1986 to 2003, with 10 grand finals, 21 Origins and 25 Tests. All records. Chalk and cheese alright, but both earned the respect of the players – the ultimate litmus test. But Pearce had the more interesting career, highlighted by the world record 11 successive premierships by the Dragons from 1956 to 1966. Pearce refereed them right through their reign, including the 1964, 65, and 66 grand finals. That domination prompted a major change from unlimited tackles to the four-tackle rule to stop the Dragons owning the ball for most of the 80 minutes. It was a culture shock for every player, referee, and fan, but the move proved successful. The Dragons didn’t win another premiership for eight years. Four clubs – Manly, Souths, Balmain, and Easts – shared the spoils in that period. Pearce also refereed in an era of no Sunday play. The match-of-the-day was always at the SCG – St George virtually lived there – and the media coverage was just a fraction of what it is today.
