In years gone by, this report would be prepared as a reflection on the past season as all enjoyed decent break before focusing on the requirements for the next year. It appears those days are now well behind us, as the season grows inexorably longer – as I write this report, well into November, around 60 – 80 referees are still being appointed on a weekly basis for both 7s and 15s competitions. This a matter of concern for the QRRA, as it places a heavy additional burden on our administrators, Appointments Officers and particularly on our long suffering referees (some of even the most dedicated of our members have needed to declare unavailability so that they can recover from injuries or preserve their bodies for the year ahead).
