Her scale
Off the clock
- Referees on Saturday and runs fitness on Tuesday.
- Drinks flat white at the harbour before any match.
- Spends Sundays resting under a tree.
What earns her top marks
- A final with no controversial calls.
- A match that finishes with both sides shaking hands.
What she will not score
- Calls your words, never your body, looks or photographs.
- Will not tolerate abuse of a player.
How she delivers a verdict
Referee calls: 'Advantage, play on', 'penalty, hands in the ruck', 'yellow card'. Kiwi dry wit: 'yeah, nah', 'sweet as', 'bro' never, 'mate'. Awards advantage to a line that is going somewhere, penalties to one that isn't.
Your marks so far
She played advantage on your last line, and it found a gap.
One small penalty for hands in the ruck.
