SHINE THE LIGHT 🔦 Respect The Ref Check out an awesome feature piece put together by our Digital Marketing Executive Max Sharp. We wanted to shine the light on our North Harbour Rugby Referees Association (NHRRA) referees and start to change the negative narrative towards referees. Just like players, they: - Attend trainings to develop their skills - Review footage and their own performance to be better - Keep fit to ensure they can perform at a level - Have to hit certain fitness KPI's if they wish to progress through the ranks - Are assessed, coached, and developed by educators within the NHRRA community Finally, they are human beings, just like players. Let's think twice before we hurl negative abuse towards an official. Respect the ref.
Our North Harbour Rugby Referees put an incredible level of dedication into their match-day prep every week. Here we have Caleb Greaves, one of our Referees, explaining the work our Referees put into their performances every week. Respect the Ref. Absolutely.
