Amber McLachlan was the best female referee in Australia for a few years but she’s been injured for a while and isn’t refereeing currently. Tyler Miller was probably next in line but did her ACL at WXV last year, Ella and Jess are next with Ella making her 6N debut this year.

sub 20?? farrrk that is quick..!!! Quickest I ever got was 21:50 but I stopped trying to push too hard now often as I just found I did not enjoy it as much and I would end up sore which affects my Kettlebell and strenght training. I prefer doing longer endurance events like Spartan Beast which I ha...

Parkruns are great but I think they should go back to being fun runs not full of middle aged men trying to give themselves coronaries with their garmins Yes and no. I love a Parkrun and a gentle trot around the local one near me in an old quarry, so I’m not going to set the world alight on that one...

Tell them to fudge off. That was very poor form. Hope all is well with you and mrs. Yeah mate, we’re doing nicely down this way. The kids are running rings around me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Footy is going well and I’m finally feeling like I belong a bit more in the environment which ...

I’ve been around, just not posing too much. Somewhat stepped away when a call I made in a game got questioned directly to me on here so figured I’d just lurk a bit more. Hope all is well down your way. Bloody hell. Bringing things from real life to have a personal crack on these forums is very poor...

Scheffler’s feet on the tee box are the most like Happy’s, so that’s something.

Sitting where he was, it’s likely that this person is known to the organisation. Shouting racist abuse at players is definitely something one will see in Melbourne, which isn’t a racist place. The abuse levelled at sportspeople at AFL games is shocking - I guess it’s a cultural thing. I believe tho...

Without judgement I had never seen Band of Brothers so I aquired it last night and after enjoying Masters of the air I will look forward to BoB next. Cheers for the various recommendations Thanks for the reminder, I haven’t rewatched BoB this year. Will get onto it. It’s amazing, even made 25 years...

Training has been going well down this way, lots of time on the rower and have shifted some PRs which is always nice. 2km is down to 6:58, 5km went from 19:09 to 18:20, 10km is at 37:58, HM has gone from 1:34-1:26, reckon I could go a bit quicker on the HM. Currently 7 weeks through a 2km training p...

I thought he did well to get up. Good on him. I thought it was worth a yellow. Was surprised the head clash then shoulder to the head before half time wasn't even deemed a yellow. I guess BOK was consistent in ignoring dodgy tackles. True and yes, Lynagh showed some stick getting up and continuing....

Had a “season” goal of taking 10 minutes off my half marathon rowing time. Had enough time this morning to give it a crack. Took my PR from 1:37:17 down to 1:26:57 so boom, goal achieved. Felt really good, did it fasted and didn’t need to take any water or anything on. Last 6 minutes was tough due t...

Training is going well, I’m down to 82kg which is the lightest I’ve ever been since turning 20. Also broke 7 minutes for the 2km on the rower the other day and went under 38 minutes for the 10k this morning. Feeling the fittest I’ve been in a long, long time which is nice. Might try and smash out a...

Going by those pictures I am somewhere in between the 15% and 20%, probably closer to the 20% which is roughly what my scales say every day (19.5 on average for last 4 weeks). I know that the scales aren’t 100% accurate but it’s a little tracker that seems within an acceptable tolerance for me based...

Still rolling around on the erg at the moment, trying to get in at least 30 minutes per day, but most of the time am doing 45-1:20 a day. September stats - 315km in 22 hours at 2:08 avg. Lots of SS in there which is around 2:11-2:13/500 but I also broke a lifetime goal of sub 7 on the last day in Se...

Few erg sessions so far this week, I am trying to up the avg watts by 3-5 per week so aiming for 155 this week whilst maintaining decent form and HR in the right zone. I’ve got a trial match tomorrow as well so will be interesting to see how this rowing fitness will translate to match fitness for ru...

Ticked over 100km last week on the rower, biggest week ever as I was doing some 2-a-days for a challenge, was fun. Back to normal volume this week

45 minutes yesterday - 10202m
40 minutes today with 30 easy, 10 tempo - 9500m

I'll be honest. An erg marathon sounds absolutely awful. At least you get a change of scenery doing endurance events outside. Injuries are shit. :thumbdown: No awful than an actual marathon, those suck. I just whack the iPad onto something that I want to work my way through and off I go. Just did B...

Tore my calf at the start of the year, missed 10 weeks of our local season which meant could only get 6 middles done for the year, so I’ve turned my attention to the erg for some fitness and challenges. Ballooned out to 103kg when injured because I have an unhealthy relationship with food and booze ...

Who is doing the usual TMO work during live play while the TMO is reviewing the yellow-possibly-red card offence? The TMO will need about 6 pairs of eyes. There is 1 TMO appointed to the game, and 1 FPRO (foul play review official) appointed. The FPRO judges the YC and sees if it’s an upgrade or not.

ElementFreak

As far as I know it’s also different to how it was done in Super Rugby this year. In Super Rugby the TMO for the game needed to review the YC for any upgrade or not inside the 8 minutes (it was actually fairly easy to do), but for the international game there is a seperate TMO who is only appointed ...

One thing from the article TMOs only ‘interrupt’ play to investigate serious, clear and obvious incidents of dangerous play missed by the Match Official team.
