"W e ll, I 1 m n ot so bad after al l ! " This shou ld give you, e ach individua l P e nrith r efer ee, the i nspiration, confidenc e and determinat i on t o p r ove t h a t t h e c o n c lusion quoted above, won't b e valueless for you in the coming season. Good, "fair '' s e rums, efficient consistent a nd once again, scrupulously "fair", play the balls a nd intelligenT, use of t he advantage r ule are t h e main e ssentials of "an y" game of Rugby Leagu e . l~e al l agree , b ut do we consistently strive for, and obtain the s e r equired standards ? If you do n ot , t h en t h e oppor t uni t- y, which cle arly exists at pre sent, for you t o become a highly r egarded and r e spected referee, by al l con c erned wi t h Rugby League, will have slipped from you r g ras p and t- hen you become "jus t a run-of- the-mill refe ree " . Aim high, show determinati on to reach your goal, be fair and h onest with your fell ow referee s, and frank and open to advice from your ''Adviso r y" Board member, at all t imes. He is experie n ced and Hon't be t aken in, by "an alibi " covering any mis t ak e s. He' ll giv-e you more kudos for being "open" and honest in discussions, as you expect the same from him. \\Th e re an i ncident invo l ve s one, two or, at t imes, the t hree o ffi c ials in a game, I have always made a p rac tic e o f getting the t hree together. I've expected hones t y on the par t of each one, a t t he same time rec ogni sing, t hat I too, could be wr o ng. I f eel that by thi s method of trust in e ach other and willingness to see oth e r points of v iew, t here is no need for alibis or con coc t ed vers ions. I \vish success ~ o Jack Harri s in his n e w role . I was associated with him at Parramatta .., a nd sa\v him serve his app renticeship to master tradesmen, and 1vit-h co - opera t ion of his Advisory Board, I am c onfi den t- that t h ey and e s p ecially, you, the members, will bring lustre to t h e Associatio n. c My part ing hint for season 1979, - Us e a wooden me asure to mark o u t 5 metres in your yard and at ( 1) ordinary pace, ( 2) fas "L pace , ( J ) running backwards, get an idea from your paces, how many you r equire for 5 metres . In this way, I fe e l you may become more profic i ent at approximating 5 metres and no t have, what r e ferees r e fer to , as an "elastic" five metres, \vhich varies from three to ten. The ten metr e lines marked on grounds often make your judgment look very poor and t his is the reason for my mentioning it here. Sincere wishes for a Happy, Successful Season and many thanks for help at the Schoolboys' Carnival each year. STEVE CAREY Co-Patron Congratula~ions to ~ he Association on another fine year g one by. In the period of twelve years its growth and achievement have been very satisfactory, but do not let it s top here, i t should continue to adv ance in the main made possible by t he continued support of your o fficers and : c ommittees, partic ularly in your attendance at meetings. New members continue to increase this year which is pleasing to note they will find that the older members will assist them to i mprove their standards as has been the case in the past. Congratulations to Jack Harris on his new appointment I wish him all t h e bes t in his ,1 n e rous job ahead, he has been a s talwart to t he Association in his efforts in the past and a big help in mak i n g it what it is today. May the Association look forward to the coming year wi t h cont inuing progress and that each me mber resolves t o surpass t h e previous year. OS COHEN Co-Patron ,- It is with pleasure t o add my comments to your Annual Report for 1978 and when one looks back throughou·c 1978 i ~ was a busy year for all c oncerned in their particular avenue. T o our Officers of the Association we must add our congrat ulations to them in the manner in which they carried out t he Adminis t rat ion of t he Association as it augers well for the progress of an Associat ion having competent Officers. To the Appointment of Referees throughou t the season to t heir various games v as a very big occasion for those who made the Appointments. S ome would be pleased, some would be displeased. But all in all when a Referee rece i ves his Appointments, it is his duty on all occasions, to endeav our to carry it out to the best of his ability and by d o ing so h e must rec e ive the award he wishes to obtain. The way is o p en for big improvements to be made for the bet t erment of t he game and in this Referees must accept their responsibilities and play their part to leave no stone unturne d to ensure that t h e y hav e a sound knowledge of the Laws of t he Game and the ability and determin a t ion to apply them at all times. May we extend our congratulations to all Referees on their Ap p o intments throughout the season. In conclusion let us look forward to season 1979 for the general advancemen t of t he game of Rugby Le ague. CYRIL E. WIGZELL, B.E.M .
