Re: What happened to refs this weekend?

Are SAASL refs getting more than $75 a game now, then? (I have no idea, but I'm surprised it has increased that much, if it has)
I very much doubt it will be any more than $5 a game more ... and if so - and if that is a reason - I would imagine most CSL clubs would agree to sort it out? ($50 increase for the season shouldn't kill any club)
Last pre-season (2012) I know SAASL refs who did a couple of friendlies (CSL against SAASL teams) were expecting $70 for a match ...
But I'll say it again - and echo what Cheesy wrote above, from conversations I have had with a couple of refs this season - it's the abuse/moaning. Sort that out and refs would do CSL over SAASL for $20 less a match ... nevermind $5 more. I think what CSL is seeing is the refs' reaction to the environment in which we ask them to pursue their hobby.
