There were a handful of female refs that were rising through the ranks. I wonder how they are progressing. I think refs are contracted to the RFU so I presume PRL then hire from the RFU... so does the RFU get a say on who gets to ref which leagues, competitions or can PRL pick and choose who they would like on the season's roster.
I.E could PRL say that they'd rather not have a certain ref on the roster..
I can think of 1 ref who leaves both sides fans puzzled at times
