What Our Members Say...

My experience of being a match official has been helped massively by the support I have received from all of the members of the St. Helens Rugby League Referees Society. I was watched on my first 3 games by experienced match officials who gave me feedback on what I did well and what I could improve on. The whole team makes you feel included and it is clear that the support given to me will help with my progression to becoming a Graded Referee.

Being part of the Society is more than just saying hello when you see each other. Recently a certain member was due to be watching another game and witnessed an incident in my game beforehand. He took it upon himself to come to me after the game to help and advise me on the protocol to follow and went further out of his way by coming into the clubhouse to support me. This is a small part of what being a member of the St Helens Society is about, members of different ages and experiences helping each other when they can.

I’ve been a member of the St. Helens society twice, the first between 1986 & 1992. I was a child leaving school and there weren't many young referees in them days, the society took me under their wing and taught me everything about RL officiating. Now in my second stint, this Society is there for help, guidance and support in the game but its there for you on a personal level as well, it's fantastic!
