Let's change this to a slight variation of the topic - as a referee how would you rate the average challenge points of leagues for referees - It feels like you are suggesting the challenge point of women's NRFL Premier sits somewhere between Mens championship and nth/sth conference - which if true i find very interesting.Mens championship and nth/sth conference - which if true i find very interesting.
I couldn't offer you much with any degree of authenticity as i don't have detailed experience of the relative NRF comp hierarchy.
I think i saw 5 WNL games last year, one of which which was heated, physical, and had some challenge for the third team on that game. Would i say that the difficulty in that one game is anywhere near the top 3-4 mens leagues in capital? No, i personally would not.
That doesn't negate the need to have the best refs possible in the WNLs, its just that i think they will learn more in more difficult regional comps, that they can then use in the NL.
Remember, i am reflecting of the difficulty of managing such games, not the merits/skills of the players, or not.
