Mr. Dudley Phillips:

The number of referees has been impacted by Covid-19. I assume it has impacted the number who have returned across all codes. The challenge of the increased number of mid-week games, which was mentioned by Mr. Perry, has also impacted the numbers. We have already spoken about volunteers who have other commitments, which makes their availability that bit more of a challenge.

From the counselling point of view, as we referenced a few times, thankfully, we have not had to call on that, but professional services would be made available in an instance where the case was deemed that severe that we needed to escalate it up the board.
