Bit late with this one, but was looking through the photo gallery from the Hunter game and noticed that Nathan "The Concierge" Wieland was officiating his first NBL game. Congratulations!

I noticed in the Box Score in the Sunday Mail, he was just listed as "Nathan".
I assumed that as he has reached the Big Time now, he had dropped his surname, like "Prince" or "Nene"

Nathan made some bullshit calls in that game - welcome to the league!

Skyhook - maybe so, or maybe what you thought was Bull Shit might have been correct.
Either way it takes a lot of work to make it as a Ref at the top level in Australia.
Well done Nathan and all the best for a long carreer.
Ps - Issaac - why is he called Concierge?

Here's a topic discussing it, and here's where it all started.

I actually didn't think the Pirates game was reffed too badly at all, at least by NBL standards.

Are you kidding ? How many terrible "no calls" were perpetrated against both sides ? Our guards took a terrible amount of scragging, and their big guys took a lot of contact from us that wasnt called either (perhaps due to the fact they were scoring so easily)
Im all for letting the guys 'play', but i thought there were a lot of calls that were missed, particularly in the 3rd qtr.
THE CONCIERGE and THE BELLBOY
RE-UNITED:
At 6:30pm at the Forestville Hotel for the official workers meeting between the Panthers and the Flames.
Drinks and light nibbles will be served if you go to the canteen.
And courtesy wet-towels should be provided upon arrival due to the heat coming from Nathan's kitchen!
Serve 'em up and ship 'em out boys!
Nathan Wieland -
what a concierge.... managed his guests in the hotel very well for his first time.
No one guest put a whole in the wall or stole a bathrobe and he provided pretty good service as well.

i got another one
"Wasnt he Dopey from the 7 dwarfs?"
Wasn't this a serious thread!?
I've known Nathan since playing Under 16's against each other, and the guy has given a lot more to the game then most people who post on here.
Well deserved buddy and keep it going :-)
