That's basically what I do:-

"That's a maul" (when it is)
"Don't pull it down" reminders to defenders plus "back foot" where appropriate
"Keep it moving forward if you want to keep it"
"That's one" when it first stops with a "Geddit movin or Use it"
Trundle Trundle
"That's two - lets have it out/Use it or Lose it etc etc" Spots ball, counts in head 5-4-3-2-1 - PEEP.

All the above accompanied by sheep dog impression round maul, looking at fringe players and defensive backs etc - reference Phil Drabble - come bye Shep!!!!!!!!!

Jesus, I would be knackered after saying all that:) For me:

"maul"
comminicate to defenders about "keep moving"
"scrummie, 1st warning"
"scrummie, use it"

game on or peep

Current Referee grade:
Level 8

When I started reffing I was constantly told to "talk more".

Now as I try to get to L9 I am being told "talk less".

:confused:
