10.00am Participants Arrival / Morning Tea 10.30am Welcome and Opening Steve Lancaster

Steve welcomed us to NZ Rugby House and outlined the restructure that took place at the beginning of the year. He fully understands and is aware of the challenges that Sideline behaviour has on recruitment and retention of referees.

11.00am NZ Rugby Game Development Team Mike Chu 11.30am Game Development Integration - Building Positive Relationships Mike Chu 1.00pm Lunch 1.45pm Game Development Integration - Building Positive Relationships Mike Chu 3.30pm Break 3.45pm Game Development Integration - Building Positive Relationships Mike Chu

Mike Chu facilitated the rest of day 1, which was spent operating at a very high level ie strategic thinking and planning. The majority of the attendees struggled to remain at this high level of discussion, continually being dragged down and getting bogged down in the nuts and bolts day to day thinking. It soon became apparent that we all needed to drop and disassociate ourselves with our own provinces and individual needs and come together “as one” for the good of the game and the good of refereeing as one country, something we all struggled with initially. The group attempted to differentiate our day to day operational work with the strategic planning and execution OF REFEREEING in New Zealand. The major theme that came out of the days discussions was INTEGRATION. For far too long, refereeing has operated within its own silo, often amongst ourselves, talking with ourselves and disassociating ourselves with other stake holders like players, coaches, administrators. The time has come for our SEGREGATION as separate entities, or RRA’s outside of the provincial unions to come to an end. They are not OUR referees. Referees belong to “the game”. Referees belong to everyone. We need to stop talking as if we are separate. PU’s need to stop talking as if refereeing is a referee issue. We are all part of rugby and refereeing, just like players and coaches are rugby issues. Only as ONE, will we all be able to tackle all of our issues together.

07.30am Breakfast 08.30am Talent ID & Selection – The Role of the REO Matt Peters (Nutta)

Nutta replaced Vinny Munro in the role of National Referee Development Manager around March – April. Building on the good ground work laid by Vinny, Nutta has added his own take on identifying the next crop of HP referees. We were given a hypothetical exercise to do. A fictional scenario was placed in front of us whereby all of our professional, national squad and wider training group referees were to become suddenly unavailable and we needed a referee to travel to Ruatoria to referee East Coast v Whanganui. Each province had to nominate a suitable referee that would be able to realistically control and referee the game. Removing all other aspects aside (criteria, law, fitness, age etc) how many referees could we come up with to referee that game? The BOPRR nominated 4. (Bell, Fellows, Waite, Williams) All other provinces nominated around 4-7 names, meaning we ended up with approximately 75 referees scattered all over the country that could referee East Coast v Whanganui. In hindsight we all agreed that we underestimated by about 10-15%. Now the challenge was laid to us: How would we trim that group of 75 referees down to the 2-3 gold nuggets that would be nominated for an opportunity to grow within the high performance space?

What HP are looking for? Honest Initiative Growth Mindset Hard Worker Presence Enhancement Resilience Fortitude Open Reflective Mentor Adaptable Networker Coachable Empathy

The four key focusses (foci) are:

1. Resilience-the tendency to recover from/adjust/bounce back from misfortune, stress, change/adversity.

2. Adaptability-able and willing to learn to change in order to suit different conditions.

3. Fortitude-courage, brave, strength of mind, toughness of spirit, strength of character, firmness of purpose, bear adversity with courage.

4. Presence-how is presence defined?

Could be physical

How they play advantage

How they sell decisions

Their demeanour

How they speak

Mannerisms

Aesthetics

Coach Educator 11.15am Communicating to Build & Enhance Relationships Steve Taylor 12.30pm Lunch 1.15pm Communicating to Build & Enhance Relationships - cont Steve Taylor Steve

Taylor, a former NZ air force pilot and current air traffic controller gave an insightful if somewhat morbid presentation on the art of communication, from a fighter pilot point of view. He also highlighted how important it is to repeat things back to people to ensure that messages were received correctly and understood by both parties. That’s something we could possibly incorporate into communication between referee and AR and TMO. For example: AR: 6 red offside Ref: Copy 6 red offside, advantage black!

6

AR: I have a foul play report against 7 black. Ref: Confirm foul play against 7 black, what for? AR: Late tackle on the kicker. Ref: Copy that, advantage white!

7.30am Breakfast 8.30am NZ Rugby – Refereeing Needs Analysis - Interim Summary Bryce Lawrence Trevor Howard

Bryce and Trevor presented on their interim findings from their travels around the country visiting all of the PU’s and RRA’s. (Approx. 4 areas still to be visited) A written report will be provided to all PU’s and RRA’s once all areas have been covered off. From a Bay rugby space, we are in a good place, well respected amongst both NZ Rugby and a number of the other provinces. Our strengths include:

Connected and engaged with the PU

Great communication between PU and Referees

High quality strategic plan and annual plans

Referees well resourced

09.00am NZ Rugby Respect & Inclusion – The REO Role Karen Skinner Karen Skinner’s presentation focussed around her role, how it came about (respect and responsibility review) and what her main objectives are. She questioned us around what respect and inclusion meant to us and how we can all achieve it in our own spaces.

10.30am Morning Tea 11.00am REO Programme – Reporting, Operations, Logistics & General Business Trevor Howard

A nuts n bolts discussion around the way in which we report, the inconsistent reporting templates and the inconsistency between those regions that do report and those that don’t.

12.30pm Lunch 1.15pm 2018 National Championships Overview Bryce Lawrence Paul Honiss

The REO’s were required to bring with them to the conference their lap top computers. Bryce and Paul provided all of us with a 16 gig USB stick with all of the files and PowerPoint presentations that the REO’s will use to deliver the consistent messages for the upcoming national competitions, Mitre 10 Cup, Mitre 10 Heartland Championship and Farah Palmer Cup. Interesting to note that from the Foul Play presentation, of all the 21 lap tops in the room, mine was the only one that couldn’t/wouldn’t play the video clips. An issue that I was already aware of but wasn’t sure whether it was the file size, or the age of the laptop that was the reason for the problem. Some points to note:

There’s a slight shift in protocol for ruling on foul play. Referees, AR’s and TMO’s are to bring a more “rugby context” to their decision making. This differs slightly from World Rugby protocols and is fully explained in the presentations.

AR’s for M10 Cup games are NOT to referee the curtain raiser matches.

REO’s are to notify Lauren (Kathy in Lauren’s absence) on a Monday morning of the AR and TMO appointments for their upcoming matches for that week.

Do you consider

Comments: how could the

competition be improved

and/or what do you enjoy

about your current

competition Strongly agree Agree

Agree

It can be improved by all

clubs getting there fair share

of rep players

Playing competitive games

every eeek

I am not a player anymore i

help out our development

team like with running the

water on an stuff. I just feel

sorry for the referees

refereeing the development

with no proper ARs on

sidelines. But in saying that

they do an amazing job to

Even allocation of rep

players regardless

Agree

The break between the local

and Baywide round was too

long.

I love the 2nd round as we

get to venture out and play

different teams but the first

round is so sad as our ebop

rugby has taken a drastic fall

The draw is all over the

place which include some

teams getting more games

than others.

Agree

More teams maybe doing a

bay wide from the start

traveling out of town for

games

The process of how the

draw is done, particularly for

round 2 could be more

obvious because it doesn't

make any sense and is as

lopsided as old man balls Agree

Need more of a variety of

teams to play

We need colts to get

younger players back in

rather than losing them to

other sports. They don't

want to play against men so

leave.

Competition points roll over

from round 1, straight top

10 comp home and away Agree

Officials need to be held

accountable for their actions

as players are. Enjoy playing

with my mates and this

years coaching has been

very good. Like the away

trips and the home crowd

support although that seems

smaller this year.

Agree

I think we could cut 2 team

from the premier comp as

some clubs have been low

on numbers and players are

playing both game just to

stay in the premier comp

The process and Rules for

deciding a Winner in semis

and finals is Flawed.

Coin toss kepp playing till

the first team to score Agree

Semi finals and finals ruling

should be changed, to an a

degree where there is a

team that wins the game of

rugby, by playing rugby an

not decided by a coin toss

when going into overtime an

no points scored. As you will

know, we as players put a

lot of hard work an sacrifices

into this sport, an to loose

by a coin toss at the end of

all we put into to the sport,

training etc. Its not only

heart breaking, but its very

sad to see that it all came

down to a coin toss thats

not even a part of our team

or the game its self.

A coin toss to decide a game

is ridiculous. Why play and

train if it comes down to a

coin toss. There s no skill in

that. Would not a penalty

shoot out or play extra time

until first team scores. Or

look back on the game and

first try wins. Anything has

to better than a coin toss. Agree

Professional Development

of the new referees to

improve on the great job

they are currently doing Agree

Sideline ref would help

improve reds performance.

It is a good comp in terms of

each team is just as good as

the other team any team

can win on the day

Difficulty retaining juniors

through to senior team.

Love playing the small

township teams wish they

could be supported more.

Agree

Enjoy that there a lot of

teams in our grade so

there’s a lot of games

throughout the year Agree

Tight competition. Good to

play so many other Māori

clubs, gives the occasion

more depth and connection.

Influencing youngsters to

stick with rugby after high

school remains a challenge.

Agree

Agree

(1) More Referees & officials

at every game. (2) More

wins(Round 2)should decide

winner after extra time. Agree

Not having a good referee

Great competition Agree

Local round (CBOP) very last

minute to be confirmed. GET

ALL local clubs in one room

let them confirm who is

playing as many players

were lost due to being

mucked around with last

minute draw confirmation.

Points carried forward from

the first round against the

teams that made it to top 8

Enjoy getting out there and

playing alongside friends

and family also the

phisicality, speed and

intensity of the game. For

improvement of the game

nothing much really just

concistancy with referees

every ref has a different

ruling on several rules that's

about it otherwise allgoods

Agree

Need Refs and better draw

system. Just enjoying playing

in my twilight years but find

it weird that some teams

play more games and get

points over others to tally at

the end of the year. Also it

feels like we play to win

nothing, never been in a

comp this casual but to play

without a end goal is weird. Agree

Fun games just not enough

Reff’s

Agree

Agree

If we are going to play a

local round then all eastern

bay teams should be

involved.we are sick of

playing the same couple

teams over and over again

and think we deserve a crack

at the big boys.people will

start wanting to come play

for the struggling teams if

the know the standard of

rugby is still going to be at a

good level

Having atleast a referee at

every game and having an

organised draw when it's

handed out

Maybe 2 rounds for Women

so we get more games. Have

enjoyed meeting other

women.

Agree

Competition is good, for our

team it's commitment

Encourage more teams

Would be good to all play at

1 venue throughout the

competition round at least

once throughout the rounds Agree

Make our division baywide

from the start instead of

playing the same 3 teams

over and over again

No improvements needed.

Very happy with the

competition.

Better grading of teams level

of rugby for half is to broken

for most in these lower divs

and then the other half

couple of teams should be

playing up example would

be waimana come down

reparoa go up

2 occasions the ref didn't

show. Need to rectify

Variety of competition and

even home and away games

Smaller clubs need more

help or rugby at grassroots

will die and I'll go n play

league in tauranga

Having referees for games,

finalising draws earlier and

making them stationery,

unbiased refs, fair out the

travelling for the team.

We need more teams to

play and need refs to turn

up to Every game

Just go Baywide straight

away. In the ebop comp we

only have 4 other teams and

it gets pretty tiresome

playing the same team every

year

Our local round had 5 teams

this year. 3 of those were b

teams that usually struggled

to field a team, especially on

their away games. Playing

the same teams repeatedly

gets boreing. Is it not

possible to join up with the

central bay rounds or have 1

local round and 2 baywide

rounds as opposed to the

other way round

Obviously it would be

awesome to have a bit of a

longer season, but I also

understand why this doesn’t

happen too.

Should be baywide

immediately. No local

roundit is pointless

More night games to free up

the odd weekend, shorter

competition with

competitive teams playing

more regularly

Need more teams to play.

Get sick of playing the same

teams

Rarely have referees

allocated. Unless tga sports

are playing

lack of officials has been

appalling.

We are satisfied with

current format and comp

Could see more players

return to their own clubs if

they had a local round 1st

and take the top 4 from

each region and make a bay

wide prem then down to 1st

division

Bay union to supply Man of

the Match awards..

I enjoy playing local round

first then playing in the 3 8

team split more even games

Spread the away & home

games evenly

Agree

Agree

Second round is really

competitive. Agree

Even competition

First round a waste of time

really Strongly agree

better refs

Agree

improve by better

refereeing,enjoy the format

of current comp

Agree

Better referees

Higher standard of referring

needed together with a

draw that factors in that we

are amateurs

leave it as 12/12 and then

8/8/8. much better than

10/10

Some of the referring is

shocking. At club level we

should be getting better refs

that consistently make the

same calls Agree

Agree

Strongly agree

Level in reffs from prems to

1st is massive

Agree

The comp is stacked in

favour of high population

areas, its easier for those

teams in rotorua and

tauranga/mt to have 2

teams than it ever is for

eastern bay teams, sure we

could probably do with less

teams here but whos gonna

volunteer to fold?

Quality of referees. Far

below par

Just love the sports I guess Agree

The season is too long, hard

too stay motivated, And

pressure of work and family

commitment means rugby is

a distant last.

Competitive rugby...referees

are pretty consistent...and

any club can beat any club

on their day.

Friday night games under

lights , to free up weekends

No long weekend or anzac

days games. That's time to

be with family Agree

Develop the other teams, so

we have more teams to play

against

Less gaps between games.

Condense the competition if

need be. Agree

one round is not enough Strongly agree

Please dont change it

We play in a competition

where we have two teams

that dominate. So we

literally wait 5 weeks until

we get a descent hard

fought game. Playing on

Sundays is also not ideal as it

messes with family time and

the weekend. Would love to

see more quality teams and

not so much more teams.

We need to build stronger

Secondary Schools to feed

into Club, maybe look at a in

between grade that caters

for girls not ready for

womens club, look at

options that cater to the

more competitive teams and

those who just play for fun

Less travel. Later games to

accomodate fathers of jmc

kids Agree

The lower womens teams

need more development.

Maybe more pre season

tournaments or

development sessions with

each club individually

I enjoy that we have support

everywhere we go from

family, friends, clubs etc

There aren’t enough high

level playing womens teams,

there are only 2 teams that

are good in the womens

competition, it could be

improved more if we played

with teams from waikato to

get more high level

competition.

The competition could run

for longer and could also

have less bye rounds.

Could have more teams in

the women's comp then at

least our comp will be longer

and more enjoyable if we

had different teams to go up

against but I also know that

women's rugby is still

developing!

Try to scrap bye weekends

and have no quarter finals, it

has made for a stop start

sort of season.

Agree

Agree

It’s hard because there’s two

teams who cream the rest of

the competition

Agree

More competition needed

Need to lift all the clubs.

Maybe having nz players or

coaches running work shops

with the clubs Strongly agree

Agree

Better competition, even

the player’s out more to

different clubs so it is a

better completion and

everyone is getting better.

And to play on saturday’s

Not sunday’s 😁

Would be better if there

were more teams in the

comp?

Consistent officiating and

officials that are all on the

same page in terms of rules.

Preferably a Saturday game

would be more beneficial for

most of our women players

thats the burning question

baywide longer or a couple

of games against other div 2

sides during local round.

Agree

Open it up to the bottom 8

teams and make one

competition as this will help

to improve the quality of

rugby at those clubs.

Share the contacted players

in the bay to all the teams

not just the western bay

sides.... always been an issue

that’s why all the western

bay teams are always the

top teams

Agree

Status Quo

I like how our team work

together as a club

Strongly agree

Not sure. Getting old.

Agree

Agree

Agree

Skill based development

programmes for beginners

Play local sub-union round

1st to help clubs build

income and get time to

develop team performance

before Bay wide

Referreeing could be more

consistent

I think there aren’t enough

teams and if teams stay at

this number, there should

be 2 rounds like prem rugby.

I think it is run well at the

moment and it’s good to

have the pre-season

tournament. I think Saturday

games should be considered

from women as Sunday

games keep us so

disconnected from everyone

else.

The womens competition is

going really great this year.

Good to see our womens

comp is still going, it is

pretty sad to see a drop in

numbers for teams this year

but hopefully next year it

will be better and a lot more

clubs will be joining. Other

than that it has been a really

good season so far.

The travel distance we

currently have is awesome

every rugby club in the Bay

should have suitable lights

to train under

Strongly agree

Have more experienced reffs

running games

Competition is competitive

for us week in week out. We

would definitely like to make

Prem 2 next year.

The level of rugby is getting

faster and cleaner in division

1

Enjoying it hoping to make

prem 2 next season

I feel we are in the grade for

development at the

moment.

Agree

Make round 1 count

The competetive second

round.

Agree

Premier competition is too

large, quality of rugby

beyond the top 8 teams is

very low with many

struggling to field 2 teams.

First round means nothing if

the points get reset, doesn't

reward teams for

consistency and punishes

teams that might drop a

couple of games after

playing really well early on

I enjoy that the

development play before us

The first round needs to

have some meaning

Need better refs

Agree

Agree

The first round should be

played for points for second

round or more home games

etc.

Make the first round mean

something. We are a well

prepared club that trys hard

to perform accross the

season. Its unfair that we

are not rewarded for that.

Also, redcude the number of

teams and play 2 rounds of

higher quality rugby.

Winning by 100 points

benefots no one

I play because we are short

on numbers, I am 40years

old and ideally would like to

donate my time to the club

in other ways but I know

how important our Senior

Reserves team is to the club.

Once the stops it will be

extremely hard to get it

going again. Our competion

has been a huge

improvement on previous

years, an effort has been

made to play our games

alongside our premier team,

we have a reasonable

number of teams in the

competition and it is great

to see the second round

includes Easton and Central

BOP teams, it is just a bit of

a shame some more teams

from those regions could

not join the second round.

Outline of the competition

and full draw before the

season starts

only round two makes it

enjoyable, round one

hopeless, playing teams that

are not competitve

Good 2nd round. 1st round

waste of time. Big gap

between bottom 3/4 clubs

and the rest. No reward for

doing well in first round with

points not carrying over.

No importance placed on

first round at all meaningless

games Strongly agree

Good even competition

First Round should mean

something

I’m an older player and I’m

not a big fan of the

development team system. I

prefer, perm team then

reserves and then age group

and presidents

I enjoy not having to travel

too much currently Agree

Enjoy that its good hard

comp will manly against the

WBOP teams anyway

If there's more referees and

sideline refereeing if the

development competition

can be filmed too so we can

know what to do to better

our individual play to get to

premier grade rugby

Better refs

Agree

Need more competitive

teams in the comp. too

many teams that are up to

scratch

Winning every game and

only losing 1 Strongly agree

Agree

Current length and format of

comp

Points from first round

should be continued into

second round

Strongly agree

Friday night games

Agree

Get rid of the wiping the

points after round 1. It is

unfair that you could lose a

couple of games all year and

miss out on semi finals

The first round seams

pointless for the top teams,

woud like to see some carry

over points for the winner of

the first round

Less teams to be more

competitive throughout the

season, first round feels like

a waste of time.

I believe the competition

points should be carried

right through from the first

game of the season to the

last. Also, there should only

be 10 teams in Premier and

Division 1 divisions and you

play home and away, 18

games then semis and finals.

There needs to be more

room for promotion

relegation between the two

divisions though

Lose the EBOP it’s a waste of

time playing them. Make the

first round mean more than

just an extended preseason.

Points could be halved or

some more incentive

(trophy) than nothing. Strongly agree

Agree

The competition could be

improved by making sure

top quality players are

equally shared throughout

all clubs in the Bay of Plenty.

This would make it an even

playing field. I enjoy the fact

that we get to follow our

Prems team. Also it gives up

to 4 teams from the prem 2

division to come up into the

prems next year. The new

teams coming into the 2019

format would need support

from the Bay Rugby union to

ensure they have an

opportunity to feel

successful.

Points should be retained

from round 1

Agree

Start session a week or two

earlier wouldn't hurt.

That we get to play premier

level next year as we have

worked our way from div 1,

prem 2 and now prem 1

Combining the 2 Premz

divisions together,and

combining both

development divisions

together. I enjoy the level of

Rugby we are playing at. It's

intense and really hard. Love

it

with us in Te Teko we are a

tight unit i fill that we are in

the right grade in the

competition the competition

that we are in suits us .

i enjoy the comp. my first

year and ive learnt so much

It helps clubs like ours

develop instead of the one

up one down concept

Consistency with the refs.

Some interpret things

differently Agree

3 divisions. Prems, Prem 1

and 1st Div from the start to

end of season. Two go up

two go down to progress

closer and more exciting

rugby

More support gor womens

rugby

Possibly 2 rounds

considering theres only 7

teams before semis and

finals. This will allow time

for the teams with new

players to improve their

skills and game...

Strongly agree

I enjoy the overall comp. I

feel it would make it better

if we had more teams

Agree

i enjoy the woman i play

with and againts although its

a battle on the field when

the battle is done everyone

is humble. i like how we are

strong individuals and our

team are like sisters bonds

are awesome

More of a local round before

the baywide

Womens rugby is

progressing every year

within the BOP competition,

as a result our Volcanix

Team is becoming a strong

opponent for the Farah

Palmer Competition

I like the top 8, bottom four

prem top foir div 1

I think the bay needs to help

the division 1clubs out more

so each player gets a better

opportunity to make by

steamers. Also to make the

competition harder in all

grades but also will be

better for the teams that do

make it up in the preams 1 it

will be hard competition for

the teams that are already in

preams 1. _ I Enjoy having a

Kai after the games and

getting to know the history

of the clubs.

competition should stay in

current format

Developing the skills,

coaching and players within

all clubs - to help create a

better competition and

allow clubs to have a

fighting chance at making

prem 1 or playing some

good rugby. Focusing on

development.

Satisfied, and unsure

whether I WILL play next

year.

I enjoy the competition just

the lack of commitment

from my players, I don't

enjoy

Referees should do First Aid

Course as we had one ref

who didn't now what to do

in the situation. It was just

lucky one of the spectators

was a physio

The comaraderie is cool, the

level has dropped its quite

boring. Two pools would be

better so the less likely

teams to advance to the top

are in a pool that

encourages improvement

and development

Liked: the consistent up to

date draw/results online/fb

page Strongly agree

Strongly agree

Strongly agree

Development only to follow

Premier Team on the second

round Strongly agree

Drop the requirement for

Prem 1 teams to field a B

side to be eligible for

Premier Rugby.

Not sure

Its really hard for the smaller

clubs to front a strong

Development Team. We

play because we love our

club & want to support it.

But would be much more

content with being in Senior

B's. If I was serious I would

play Premier Rugby. This

method only supports larger

clubs with large player bases

like Tauranga Sport or Mt

Mounganui. Strongly agree

Agree

Promote women's rugby

more to get more players

involved and create a more

competitive comp

Agree

Need to be a 10 team

competition play teams

twice home and away with

the bottom team getting

relegated 2 to bottom play

off with the losing finalists

The competition was pretty

good now bt make sure we

gt enough Ref n Ass Ref n

wht I enjoy abt the

competition was learn more

from others n express the

talent dat we have n gt to

know each other as brothers Strongly agree

Not enough players locally

12s then 8s ensure

competitive games in the

second round

Full union but only 10

ylteams- 2 rounds of 9

games so 1 hkme and 1

away where all wins and

losses matter Follow their A's

I think it is ok the way it is

with the

promotion/relegation

systems. A local sub union

competition would be

interesting but I don't

think there would be

much to be gained as

some teams would get

100+ points put on them.

8-10 weeks of Baywide is

probably all that is

needed but if we played

locally before the

baywide competition it

would be hard to select

the top 8 teams in the

BOP. At present those top

8 teams we are certain

are the best we have and

that is where the bulk of

the Steamers will be

playing and developed

from. Follow their A's

just need the weaker

clubs to combine, gives

I say that knowing alot of

clubs who struggled with

numbers due to work,

injuries etc. ended up

with players having to

double up. If they play

locally and "develop" they

tend to be more active

for the next rounds which

tend to be baywide. Just right

Prems teams rely on

I think they should follow

there A team but I can

see it can be

disappointing if a

development team is

doing well and there A's

miss out on the top 8.

Some of those struggling

baywide clubs need to

play with their A's as a lot

of the they need to share

players so they can

compete. Those

struggling clubs could also

benefit by playing their

development rugby

locally but I think it is

extremely important that

they are made to have a

development team as we

need players in the union,

it would be hard to police

but it could be worth a

go. There is so many clubs

that are so close to each

other that never play one

another and that could be

a way it could happen eg Just right

reason, ie we go on to

prems. most clubs have

guys that float bewteen

teams, front rows

normally short on

numbers so D squad front

They should have their

means Prem players are

parts of both games,

disadvantaging them in

the Prem comp against

Development following

the A's it means some

Development teams are

constantly receiving

hidings which in my view

does nothing positive for

rugby. It is hard enough

Governance Manager Monthly Update Name: Will Wilson Month: July 2018

Finance Director: Stephen Wheeler [email protected] Report to be completed Disciplinary: Geoff Kaye [email protected] I dont have anything to report. What I have found is that since the referee abuse spate from earlier in the season and the responding directive to the clubs from BOPRU I have noted a reduction in referee abuse reports being reported to me directly. Pat would have a more accurate feel for the Union wide scene but I would say there has been a positive trend downwards - touch wood. Geoff Statistician/Historian: Malcolm Langdon [email protected] All information should have been returned to Pat Rae Health & Safety: Sam Fellows [email protected] [email protected] Report for the Bay of Plenty Rugby Referees Management Executive Meeting August 2018Health

and Safety Portfolio

Prepared by Sam Fellows

Workplace health and safety.

Have not been made aware of any health and safety concerns.Have discussed the possibility of

support to assist our members who are subject to abuse and I understand this will be discussed at

RMG.

Greerton Incident

I understand that the appeal from Greerton was unsuccessful, which is a good outcome, although Greerton deserved sanction in my view as you can see from the attached submissions for the original hearing. Learnings from the saga: Ensure we submit accurate and consistent reportsThere were some details that were slightly inconsistent and were challenged. This could be resolved by reviewing all reports before they are submitted in a similar incident or submitting an initial report and then providing additional witness statements. I am happy to be involved in any review or discussion in similar circumstances. Additionally the committee dug deep into issues such as exactly how far was x away from y or the direction they were heading. It is important that we get these details sorted before any hearing. These can be hard to recall in the heat of the hearing. Again much of this may be better reflected in witness statements that come additionally to the initial report.

mailto:[email protected]





Difficulty of the individual who was the focus of the abuse to make the complaint

The process made it clear that the person who is subject of the abuse often is “on trial” in a way and therefore makes it difficult. A perfect situation would be a referee coach or similar being the individual making the complaint (where possible) and the referee supporting this complaint to give a level of objectivity. Obviously this is not possible in all situations.

Ensure the reports cover the offences contained in the BoPRU competition handbook

and the Black book

It would make it easier if the reports (or witness statements) were reflective of the wording in the black book to enable an easier argument for sanctions. Again this is something I am happy to help with.

The importance for referees (and others) to take abuse seriously and report it

This incident showed the importance of reporting issues early as when the incident occurred no one (including those outside of refereeing) were surprised however no incidents had ever been reported, nor would this have been reported if it weren’t for the complaint by Greerton. I believe the RMG needs to encourage more reporting and lowing the perceived threshold for abuse before reporting. A mid-point could be a complaint system where a club (or individual) was sent a letter from the Union if abuse was anonymously reported e.g. could be referee or spectator to remind them they are out of line. Manager Comments: Will Wilson

1. BoP Rubgy Union Governance update: a. There will be 2 elected Directors and 5 appointed Directors b. Elected Directors are done through the AGM process; Appointed Directors are done

through an Appointments Panel. c. Board performance and makeup ( re required competencies) is currently being

reviewed by the Board who engaged Tony Hazard to complete the review. This will provide a frame work for the Appointments Panel.

d. Timing – In place for the forthcoming AGM 2. Referee tent at Steamers Games in Tga Domain. Being considered by Mike Rogers. WIP.

Comments: how could the competition be improved and/or what do you enjoy about your current

competition

(1) More Referees & officials at every game. (2) More wins(Round 2)should decide winner after extra time.

12s then 8s ensure competitive games in the second round

2 occasions the ref didn't show. Need to rectify

3 divisions. Prems, Prem 1 and 1st Div from the start to end of season. Two go up two go down to

progress closer and more exciting rugby

A coin toss to decide a game is ridiculous. Why play and train if it comes down to a coin toss. There s no

skill in that. Would not a penalty shoot out or play extra time until first team scores. Or look back on the

game and first try wins. Anything has to better than a coin toss.

Bay union to supply Man of the Match awards..

baywide longer or a couple of games against other div 2 sides during local round.

Better competition, even the player’s out more to different clubs so it is a better completion and everyone

is getting better. And to play on saturday’s Not sunday’s 😁

Better grading of teams level of rugby for half is to broken for most in these lower divs and then the other

half couple of teams should be playing up example would be waimana come down reparoa go up

Better referees

Better refs

better refs

Coin toss kepp playing till the first team to score

Combining the 2 Premz divisions together,and combining both development divisions together. I enjoy the

level of Rugby we are playing at. It's intense and really hard. Love it

Competition is competitive for us week in week out. We would definitely like to make Prem 2 next year.

Competition is good, for our team it's commitment

Competition points roll over from round 1, straight top 10 comp home and away

competition should stay in current format

Competitive rugby...referees are pretty consistent...and any club can beat any club on their day.

Consistency with the refs. Some interpret things differently

Consistent officiating and officials that are all on the same page in terms of rules.

Could have more teams in the women's comp then at least our comp will be longer and more enjoyable if

we had different teams to go up against but I also know that women's rugby is still developing!

Could see more players return to their own clubs if they had a local round 1st and take the top 4 from each

region and make a bay wide prem then down to 1st division

Current length and format of comp

Develop the other teams, so we have more teams to play against

Developing the skills, coaching and players within all clubs - to help create a better competition and allow

clubs to have a fighting chance at making prem 1 or playing some good rugby. Focusing on development.

Development only to follow Premier Team on the second round

Difficulty retaining juniors through to senior team. Love playing the small township teams wish they could

Drop the requirement for Prem 1 teams to field a B side to be eligible for Premier Rugby.

Encourage more teams

Enjoy getting out there and playing alongside friends and family also the phisicality, speed and intensity of

the game. For improvement of the game nothing much really just concistancy with referees every ref has a

different ruling on several rules that's about it otherwise allgoods

Enjoy that its good hard comp will manly against the WBOP teams anyway

Enjoy that there a lot of teams in our grade so there’s a lot of games throughout the year

Enjoying it hoping to make prem 2 next season

Even allocation of rep players regardless

Even competition

every rugby club in the Bay should have suitable lights to train under

First round a waste of time really

First Round should mean something

Friday night games

Friday night games under lights , to free up weekends

Fun games just not enough Reff’s

Get rid of the wiping the points after round 1. It is unfair that you could lose a couple of games all year and

Good 2nd round. 1st round waste of time. Big gap between bottom 3/4 clubs and the rest. No reward for

doing well in first round with points not carrying over.

Good even competition

Great competition

Have more experienced reffs running games

Having atleast a referee at every game and having an organised draw when it's handed out

Having referees for games, finalising draws earlier and making them stationery, unbiased refs, fair out the

Higher standard of referring needed together with a draw that factors in that we are amateurs

I am not a player anymore i help out our development team like with running the water on an stuff. I just

feel sorry for the referees refereeing the development with no proper ARs on sidelines. But in saying that

I believe the competition points should be carried right through from the first game of the season to the

last. Also, there should only be 10 teams in Premier and Division 1 divisions and you play home and away,

18 games then semis and finals. There needs to be more room for promotion relegation between the two

I enjoy not having to travel too much currently

I enjoy playing local round first then playing in the 3 8 team split more even games

I enjoy that the development play before us

I enjoy that we have support everywhere we go from family, friends, clubs etc

i enjoy the comp. my first year and ive learnt so much

I enjoy the competition just the lack of commitment from my players, I don't enjoy

I enjoy the overall comp. I feel it would make it better if we had more teams

i enjoy the woman i play with and againts although its a battle on the field when the battle is done

everyone is humble. i like how we are strong individuals and our team are like sisters bonds are awesome

I feel we are in the grade for development at the moment.

I like how our team work together as a club

I like the top 8, bottom four prem top foir div 1

I love the 2nd round as we get to venture out and play different teams but the first round is so sad as our

ebop rugby has taken a drastic fall

I play because we are short on numbers, I am 40years old and ideally would like to donate my time to the

club in other ways but I know how important our Senior Reserves team is to the club. Once the stops it will

be extremely hard to get it going again. Our competion has been a huge improvement on previous years,

an effort has been made to play our games alongside our premier team, we have a reasonable number of

teams in the competition and it is great to see the second round includes Easton and Central BOP teams, it

I think the bay needs to help the division 1clubs out more so each player gets a better opportunity to make

by steamers. Also to make the competition harder in all grades but also will be better for the teams that do

make it up in the preams 1 it will be hard competition for the teams that are already in preams 1. _ I Enjoy

I think there aren’t enough teams and if teams stay at this number, there should be 2 rounds like prem

rugby. I think it is run well at the moment and it’s good to have the pre-season tournament. I think

Saturday games should be considered from women as Sunday games keep us so disconnected from

I think we could cut 2 team from the premier comp as some clubs have been low on numbers and players

are playing both game just to stay in the premier comp

I’m an older player and I’m not a big fan of the development team system. I prefer, perm team then

reserves and then age group and presidents

If there's more referees and sideline refereeing if the development competition can be filmed too so we

can know what to do to better our individual play to get to premier grade rugby

If we are going to play a local round then all eastern bay teams should be involved.we are sick of playing

the same couple teams over and over again and think we deserve a crack at the big boys.people will start

wanting to come play for the struggling teams if the know the standard of rugby is still going to be at a

improve by better refereeing,enjoy the format of current comp

It can be improved by all clubs getting there fair share of rep players

It helps clubs like ours develop instead of the one up one down concept

It is a good comp in terms of each team is just as good as the other team any team can win on the day

It’s hard because there’s two teams who cream the rest of the competition

Its really hard for the smaller clubs to front a strong Development Team. We play because we love our club

& want to support it. But would be much more content with being in Senior B's. If I was serious I would

play Premier Rugby. This method only supports larger clubs with large player bases like Tauranga Sport or

Just go Baywide straight away. In the ebop comp we only have 4 other teams and it gets pretty tiresome

playing the same team every year

Just love the sports I guess

lack of officials has been appalling.

leave it as 12/12 and then 8/8/8. much better than 10/10

Less gaps between games. Condense the competition if need be.

Less teams to be more competitive throughout the season, first round feels like a waste of time.

Less travel. Later games to accomodate fathers of jmc kids

Level in reffs from prems to 1st is massive

Liked: the consistent up to date draw/results online/fb page

Local round (CBOP) very last minute to be confirmed. GET ALL local clubs in one room let them confirm

who is playing as many players were lost due to being mucked around with last minute draw confirmation.

Lose the EBOP it’s a waste of time playing them. Make the first round mean more than just an extended

preseason. Points could be halved or some more incentive (trophy) than nothing.

Make our division baywide from the start instead of playing the same 3 teams over and over again

Make round 1 count

Make the first round mean something. We are a well prepared club that trys hard to perform accross the

season. Its unfair that we are not rewarded for that. Also, redcude the number of teams and play 2 rounds

of higher quality rugby. Winning by 100 points benefots no one

Maybe 2 rounds for Women so we get more games. Have enjoyed meeting other women.

More competition needed

More night games to free up the odd weekend, shorter competition with competitive teams playing more

More of a local round before the baywide

More support gor womens rugby

More teams maybe doing a bay wide from the start traveling out of town for games

Need better refs

Need more competitive teams in the comp. too many teams that are up to scratch

Need more of a variety of teams to play

Need more teams to play. Get sick of playing the same teams

Need Refs and better draw system. Just enjoying playing in my twilight years but find it weird that some

teams play more games and get points over others to tally at the end of the year. Also it feels like we play

to win nothing, never been in a comp this casual but to play without a end goal is weird.

Need to be a 10 team competition play teams twice home and away with the bottom team getting

relegated 2 to bottom play off with the losing finalists

Need to lift all the clubs. Maybe having nz players or coaches running work shops with the clubs

No importance placed on first round at all meaningless games

No improvements needed. Very happy with the competition.

No long weekend or anzac days games. That's time to be with family

Not enough players locally

Not having a good referee

Not sure

Not sure. Getting old.

Obviously it would be awesome to have a bit of a longer season, but I also understand why this doesn’t

Officials need to be held accountable for their actions as players are. Enjoy playing with my mates and this

years coaching has been very good. Like the away trips and the home crowd support although that seems

one round is not enough

only round two makes it enjoyable, round one hopeless, playing teams that are not competitve

Open it up to the bottom 8 teams and make one competition as this will help to improve the quality of

Our local round had 5 teams this year. 3 of those were b teams that usually struggled to field a team,

especially on their away games. Playing the same teams repeatedly gets boreing. Is it not possible to join

up with the central bay rounds or have 1 local round and 2 baywide rounds as opposed to the other way

Outline of the competition and full draw before the season starts

Play local sub-union round 1st to help clubs build income and get time to develop team performance

Playing competitive games every eeek

Please dont change it

Points carried forward from the first round against the teams that made it to top 8

Points from first round should be continued into second round

Points should be retained from round 1

Possibly 2 rounds considering theres only 7 teams before semis and finals. This will allow time for the

teams with new players to improve their skills and game...

Preferably a Saturday game would be more beneficial for most of our women players

Premier competition is too large, quality of rugby beyond the top 8 teams is very low with many struggling

to field 2 teams. First round means nothing if the points get reset, doesn't reward teams for consistency

and punishes teams that might drop a couple of games after playing really well early on

Professional Development of the new referees to improve on the great job they are currently doing

Promote women's rugby more to get more players involved and create a more competitive comp

Quality of referees. Far below par

Rarely have referees allocated. Unless tga sports are playing

Referees should do First Aid Course as we had one ref who didn't now what to do in the situation. It was

just lucky one of the spectators was a physio

Referreeing could be more consistent

Satisfied, and unsure whether I WILL play next year.

Second round is really competitive.

Semi finals and finals ruling should be changed, to an a degree where there is a team that wins the game of

rugby, by playing rugby an not decided by a coin toss when going into overtime an no points scored. As you

will know, we as players put a lot of hard work an sacrifices into this sport, an to loose by a coin toss at the

end of all we put into to the sport, training etc. Its not only heart breaking, but its very sad to see that it all

Share the contacted players in the bay to all the teams not just the western bay sides.... always been an

issue that’s why all the western bay teams are always the top teams

Should be baywide immediately. No local roundit is pointless

Sideline ref would help improve reds performance.

Skill based development programmes for beginners

Smaller clubs need more help or rugby at grassroots will die and I'll go n play league in tauranga

Some of the referring is shocking. At club level we should be getting better refs that consistently make the

Spread the away & home games evenly

Start session a week or two earlier wouldn't hurt.

Status Quo

That we get to play premier level next year as we have worked our way from div 1, prem 2 and now prem 1

thats the burning question

The break between the local and Baywide round was too long.

The comaraderie is cool, the level has dropped its quite boring. Two pools would be better so the less

likely teams to advance to the top are in a pool that encourages improvement and development

The comp is stacked in favour of high population areas, its easier for those teams in rotorua and

tauranga/mt to have 2 teams than it ever is for eastern bay teams, sure we could probably do with less

The competetive second round.

The competition could be improved by making sure top quality players are equally shared throughout all

clubs in the Bay of Plenty. This would make it an even playing field. I enjoy the fact that we get to follow

our Prems team. Also it gives up to 4 teams from the prem 2 division to come up into the prems next year.

The new teams coming into the 2019 format would need support from the Bay Rugby union to ensure they

The competition could run for longer and could also have less bye rounds.

The competition was pretty good now bt make sure we gt enough Ref n Ass Ref n wht I enjoy abt the

competition was learn more from others n express the talent dat we have n gt to know each other as

The draw is all over the place which include some teams getting more games than others.

The first round needs to have some meaning

The first round seams pointless for the top teams, woud like to see some carry over points for the winner

The first round should be played for points for second round or more home games etc.

The level of rugby is getting faster and cleaner in division 1

The lower womens teams need more development. Maybe more pre season tournaments or

development sessions with each club individually

The process and Rules for deciding a Winner in semis and finals is Flawed.

The process of how the draw is done, particularly for round 2 could be more obvious because it doesn't

make any sense and is as lopsided as old man balls

The season is too long, hard too stay motivated, And pressure of work and family commitment means

The travel distance we currently have is awesome

The womens competition is going really great this year. Good to see our womens comp is still going, it is

pretty sad to see a drop in numbers for teams this year but hopefully next year it will be better and a lot

more clubs will be joining. Other than that it has been a really good season so far.

There aren’t enough high level playing womens teams, there are only 2 teams that are good in the

womens competition, it could be improved more if we played with teams from waikato to get more high

Tight competition. Good to play so many other Māori clubs, gives the occasion more depth and

connection. Influencing youngsters to stick with rugby after high school remains a challenge.

Try to scrap bye weekends and have no quarter finals, it has made for a stop start sort of season.

Variety of competition and even home and away games

We are satisfied with current format and comp

We need colts to get younger players back in rather than losing them to other sports. They don't want to

We need more teams to play and need refs to turn up to Every game

We play in a competition where we have two teams that dominate. So we literally wait 5 weeks until we

get a descent hard fought game. Playing on Sundays is also not ideal as it messes with family time and the

weekend. Would love to see more quality teams and not so much more teams. We need to build stronger

Secondary Schools to feed into Club, maybe look at a in between grade that caters for girls not ready for

Winning every game and only losing 1

with us in Te Teko we are a tight unit i fill that we are in the right grade in the competition the competition

Womens rugby is progressing every year within the BOP competition, as a result our Volcanix Team is

becoming a strong opponent for the Farah Palmer Competition

Would be better if there were more teams in the comp?

Would be good to all play at 1 venue throughout the competition round at least once throughout the

Referee Management Executive Monthly Report to the BOPRU Board

August 2018

August Referee Management Group (RMG) meeting was held on Thursday – 16th August – minutes

of all our meetings can be viewed on the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union website

So, in summary:

1. 88 Senior games, 90 Secondary School games, and 86 Junior games were appointed to in

July. 17 games were unappointed

2. July saw 69 (426 YTD) yellow cards, 18 (91 YTD) red cards, and 5 Referee abuse incidents

3. 24 blue cards have been issued year to date from the 1579 fixtures

4. Referee abuse continues to be of real concern. Our referee Ollie Arnold a professional

clinical psychologist has agreed to offer professional help and assistance. The RMG has

decided to make this process mandatory where a Referee Abuse report is filed. Primarily this

is to ensure the wellbeing of our members and secondly, we see it as a Health & Safety issue

that we need to mitigate. The follow on from this is the need to recompense Ollie Arnold for

his professional services to our members. The average referee abuse cases over last 4

seasons is 15 – we therefore estimate an annual cost of $2,400 + GST to provide this service

5. One Premier club has appealed a recent Judiciary committee finding following their complaint

against a Referee. The appeal was not upheld.

6. We held our Annual Quiz night on Tuesday, 31st July – a very successful evening

7. A number of our referees are now involved with representative duties including Mitre 10 Cup,

Farrah Palmer Cup and Heartland – the Bay of Plenty is very well represented

8. Planning has commenced for our annual review which is set down for Thursday, 6th

September. Following this we will complete our budget for 2019 along with the Annual Plan

for 2019

9. We have commenced work on establishing a Bay of Plenty Referee Alumni with a view to

further building and developing ‘The Club’. This will be launched at our Annual Awards

Dinner on the 13th October to coincide with the BOPRU’s Heritage Day

10. David Hodgson and Pat Rae continue to meet weekly on Tuesday morning to ensure

everything is kept on track and that we are attending to things in a proactive and timely

manner

11. The monthly newsletter ‘The Whistle Blower’ has been produced and communicated. We

continue to develop and expanded this medium as a means of communication and to

building ‘The Club’.

12. Our Awards dinner has been moved to Saturday, 13th October 2018 and we extend an

invitation to BOPRU Board representatives – if you could let us know how many Board

members and their partners will be attending – thank you

13. The key challenge for 2018 has been to keep the momentum from the last 2 years going,

upskilling our referee coaches and better utilisation of this resource. We have seen an

improved engagement of our membership in EBOP and CBOP largely due to the efforts of

their area representatives on the RMG which has been very pleasing.

14. The BOPRU Board representative on the RMG John Dowling intends resigning at the end of

the season. We will therefore be looking for a replacement for 2019. Would the Board please

consider and advise a replacement – thank you

Our ‘Strategic Plan’ continues to be our guiding focus with all decisions / actions checked against

this document.

Our goal remains, to become the best Provincial Referee Group in NZ - we truly believe that we

have the raw resources, talents and skills within our midst to achieve this. We just need to continue

to foster the positive and constructive attitude. ‘BUILD ‘THE CLUB’

The culture that will achieve our goal is one that is the following:-

Professional - in the way we present ourselves and in everything we do

Proactive - to plan and be well prepared and well organised

Transparent - to be completely open and honest

Communication - to have a good connect with all stakeholders and decision makers

Positive Environment - encouraging a constructive attitude and to recognise, acknowledge

and celebrate successes

The attitude of the RMG is that we are here to serve and ensure that referees are well equipped to

facilitate our great game. That is gear, training, mentoring / coaching, personal development,

support etc.

"A culture is strong when people work with each other for each other. A culture is weak when people work against each other for themselves."

Ultimately our goal is to see our numbers grow and improve retention through seeing BOP Referees

valued and appreciated as a key stakeholder in the health and wellbeing of BOP Rugby.

We thank you for your ongoing support.

Mr. D. Hodgson

Chairman

Referee Management Group

Bay of Plenty Rugby

13th August 2018

Dear Dave

Following a lot of consideration of my current role with the Referee Management Group, and for

personal reasons, I have decided to cease all further involvement with the Referee Management

Group.

I will continue to be involved as a running referee for as long as I can contribute to rugby in the Bay.

I want to extend my thanks and ongoing support to Gary, Dale, and yourself as the elected members

of the Referee Management Group, and to John and Pat as representatives.

I also want to extend my thanks to Sam, Steve, Geoff and Malcolm for their input this year to the

Governance Group.

The ongoing progress you are all making to the “Club” is positioning refereeing in the Bay of Plenty

in a state that will allow us to meet the ongoing demands for providing competent referees for the

game, as well as creating a strong club culture amongst our members, continues to be impressive.

Yours sincerely

Will Wilson
