I don't really know how this all works, but I noticed in the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Netball_in_the_Cook_Islands/GA1 page you
linked it mentioned this:
"If you feel that this assessment was in error, you may take it to
WP:GAR<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GAR>AR>.
"
is that an option? do/could they have another person review it who might
have more ideas to help you get it to GA? (or if not this link is there
another)
Back to my reviewer, I'd rather he had failed
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Netball/GA1 the article like the
reviewer failed
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Netball_in_the_Cook_Islands/GA1 because
while the Cook Islands one was a quick fail, the reviewer offered clear
examples, good feedback than can be worked towards improving based on the
examples, didn't drag it out and followed the procedure.
It would be of great assistance if you could actually step in to that
discussion, examine what we said and actually help improve the article to
get it to good status based on the criteria that the reviewer provided.
