There are a number of junior and development referees officiating in the NWBU senior roster this year.  The development of players, coaches, officials (including score-table personnel and referees) is a priority of the NWBU, please be mindful of vocal criticism and disrespectful behavior towards our referees.

Whilst we build our ranks and their skills we need your help to ensure that the referee pathway is a rewarding one and that like playing or coaching or officiating a game – it is also enjoyable for all participants.

We appreciate your understanding and hope you will talk to your teams to bring about a very positive outcome.
