My week ahead

Well, this week could be interesting. I’ve got an important game next weekend and will be interesting to see how many calls I get about the game.

With the new playoff format in the Championship, it’s not as huge as it would have been last season, but nonetheless, it’s a top game and there’ll be 30 players plus wanting to stay/be top of the table at the end of next weekend.  And lil old me in the middle of it all.

These are the games we exist for. Really looking forward to it. I have to train well this week, mentally prepare, and get out there and do my thing next Saturday – i.e. let the players decide the outcome of the game.

 

Matt Goddard retires

According to the Rugby Paper today, Matt Goddard has retired from refereeing due to a chronic injury. No clues as to what that was, but never nice to see one of the top guys having to leave the arena e

Not that I don’t trust the RP, but a quick google search only came up with this story: http://www.theroar.com.au/2009/10/30/matt-goddard-retires/

which in itself is retiring. Seems to suggest that next year, the Autralian number 1 will be – erm… Steve Walsh.
