Mr. Dudley Phillips:

I wish to refer back to two points that were made. One of the first points is that referees might ask what is the point. That would be a big worry for me across all sports if a referee were to have that view. It is our job to make sure that referees feel the support of whatever code they are involved in, that they will be supported and that there is a proper structure and procedure in place to follow through and rectify any wrongs that may have taken place. That is the first point I would make and encourage us to do.

I was asked another question about involvement in clubs. An integral part of retention, which is a word that was used earlier, is to feel part of a club. At the end of the day, we are club members. That could be either be through training and affiliation with an individual team or teams or social events. Ultimately, it could also help create a familiarity and bond between players, coaches and referees as we go through the journey of a match official.
