Well - Didn't expect this appointment!!
Interesting that it seems Wayne Barnes was involved in some way with this appointment.
Congrats to Paul and he has a great group of match officials to work with.

Coaches/players bring a useful bag of knowledge to the table but what about the nuts and bolts of refereeing? They can manage people well and ultimately you dont have to be a world class referee to do the apppointing.
Unlike some I dont believe you have to have refereed at that level to be a good manager/observer but I think I would like my boss to have some working knowledge of the job I do.

Yep it's an interesting one. I tend to agree with you RCG, I think some exposure at the top level in refereeing would be advantageous. I guess it will depend on who he has around him. I think the NRL did something similar a few years ago.
