Sidelines Set the Standard

Kerry Rose18 Feb - 20:03

Respect for referees. Respect for opponents. Respect for the game.

A message for all…

“As we move further into the season, I would like to take a moment to remind everyone involved with our club — supporters on the side lines, coaches, players on the field, and those on the bench — of the standards we proudly represent.

Rugby is a game built on respect. Respect for your teammates, respect for your opposition, and above all, respect for the referee.

Match officials have a challenging role to play, often making split-second decisions under pressure. While we may not always agree with every call, it is essential that we accept decisions with dignity and demonstrate the sportsmanship our club stands for.

Side line behaviour matters. The way we conduct ourselves reflects directly on our players, our committee, and the reputation of our club within the wider rugby community.

Positive encouragement is always welcome — criticism, dissent, or abuse towards match officials or opposition is not.

Please help us create an environment that is supportive, respectful, and enjoyable for everyone involved in the game.

Thank you for your continued commitment to upholding the values of our club.”

— Josh Williamson, Discipline Officer
