Rugby League

Today was the annual Junior vs Senior match that forms part of the Penrith Referees Presentation Day. I loved playing footy when i was younger but I was just never cut out to play it at any decent level. This one game a year gives me an outlet to play the game I love and also an annual reminder, usually the day after, of exactly why I don't play anymore.

Its no surprise to me that the above gentlemen has twice won Australia's fittest athlete. Despite the flaws of the competition (and in labelling anyone the "fittest" anything) Rugby League... the modern version of it does produce some amazing athletes. As well as this, the physical demands of the game require a well rounded version of fitness.

Despite me only playing one game a year I love being involved both as a referee and as a coach of my school team. It truly is the greatest game of all.
