Who is yours, for me its Stu Dickinson, hasn't had much controversy, and has actually applied the votes well.

Craig Joubert comes 2nd very closely though. Also please vote on S14 form. Nothing else.

Ah shit, if you think it was Mark Lawrence, then just vote for Lawrence which is under Joubert. And if you think it was Bryce Lawrence then vote for under Walsh (Who would vote for him anyways)

A mod can probably fox that!

PS

My vote goes to Joubert, even though I think he got a couple of things wrong.

Joubert for me. The games I have seen he has been much better than the others. M.Lawerence comes 2nd for me, but that's just because I really like his style of reffing so maybe a bit of bias there but from what I have seen he has been at his high standard

Average.

IMO

Joubert has been the best
Mark Lawrence 2nd
Steve Walsh 3rd

Some Daylight

the rest - Average

Lots of Daylight

Bryce Lawrence (even ignoring his international form as you asked)

Mark has been consistently solid in his games this year and think that he is developing a really nice style that will see him through to the final this year. Joubert had a solid game this weekend given the shit storm that was the 'tahs v 'saders:wow: (I imagine that he let a big sigh of relief out when the final whistle was blown).

I like dickinson but prefer the refs that ref in my style:chin:

On a side, can the panel please stop giving new refs to the Sharks, we want Jouba and Mark on a rotating basis please:cool:

Have you all noticed that the trend of late is being referees from separate countries. Craig Joubert, Stu Dickinson, Marius Jonker, Bryce Lawrence. Obviously Mark Lawrence and Kaplan were reffing Saffa sides.

On form it should be Dickinson, Joubert, and Mark Lawrence for the final and semi finals. As Kaplan has had the obstruction error from the Hurricanes v Crusaders, and the error on the sideline. But it will be Kaplan reffing the final, as SANZAR love him.

lol, Between Chief and Ian.

3 things you really like about Dickinson, and the 3 things you don't like, seeing as you're both so different on views of him.

Likes
1. Consistency - even when he's wrong, so its fair for both sides
2. Fitness - He's obviously fit as he keeps up with play well
3. Positioning - he has a good sense of where he is on the field

Dislikes
1. Blinkered - He has a tendency to sometimes referee one side only
2. Advantage - He is often too quick with the whistle
3. Scrums - Poor. Hasn't learned from previous bad days at the office.

1. Consistent and calm
2. Honest and fair, tries to make the game as less about him as possible
3. The game- he knows how to read play comes in with his positioning

Dislikes
1. Advantage- more of it
2. Needs to accept that players will dive over the ball.
3. Scrum confidence- even if he's right, he's unsure after POB came after his neck.

Only criticism, I used to think Dickinson was horrible. But last year I really grew to him starting from the Lions. He's improved substantially and only can keep doing so.

His scrums have improved rapidly, but still a while to go.
 

OB..

No. I said "sometimes"

Robert for 3 likes and 3 dislikes

Those are mine, and I don't feel the need to justify them, so I'm not going to.

Sorry, that did make me chuckle.

Interesting though that out of your 3 dislikes, 2 are shared.

Calm down Ian, I believe it was humerous.

Interestingly I watched Bryce Lawrence in the Brumbies game, I admit to having only really taken notice of him in the last few weeks, but while he didn't shine out, he didn't seem to really have a terrible game either.

I'll have to watch him more, but on first refection doesn't seem quite as bad a Dickie and others have proclaimed.

He is, IMO, one of the worst refs on the international panel
