The "hard slog" of training has begun for every Tuesday night for the remainder of the rugby league season at O'Grady Park, Brougham Street Fairfield, commencing at 6:30pm, David Manson and his deputies will assist all Members to improve their on-field performances with lectures, on-field drills and some running. All Members or intending Members are welcome to attend. A points system will be in place this season to gauge eligibility for Chairman’s Trophy and finals matches so, attendance at training, the QRLRB Seminar and lectures is vital.
A list of course dates with venues, is now located under Courses on this website. Any person wishing to become involved in our great game, either as a referee or touch judge should check the list and attend the course and venue that suits your requirements. Please refer to the bottom of the course list for nomination instructions.
Again this year, the Brisbane Referee’s Management Committee in consultation with the Coaching staff have decided all Modified Game Referee’s (those who referee under 7 to under 12 grades) must attend a Refresher course. To make attendance easier for MG Members, refresher courses are programmed in each zone. Please refer to the Courses section of our web site for a date to attend. Attendance at the QRLRB Professional Development Seminar to be held at the Bardon Conference Centre on February 13 counts as a Refresher course. It was found last season that MG Referees were better prepared for the season ahead by attending a refresher course. If you do not attend a refresher course you will not be registered for the season and therefore cannot legally referee any game. 2010 Referee registration forms should be filled out along with the Referee registration fee of $50 should be paid at the course. Attendance at the course is free with morning tea and lunch provided.
The Queensland Rugby League Referees’ Board will be holding the annual Seminar for South East Queensland Referees on Saturday February 13, at the Bardon Conference Centre 390 Simpsons Road, commencing at 8:30am. All Brisbane Members, both Modified Game and International Law are requested to attend. Once again, it is only one day. Nomination forms must be completed and sent to the Association Secretary by February 5. This form can be downloaded here, and faxed the Association on fax number 07 3892 3939. Any Modified Game member who attends the Seminar does not have to do a 2010 refresher course. Morning tea and lunch is provided. Cost is paid by the Association so you have no excuse for not attending, do you?
