Rugby league referees
Rugby league referees are officials responsible for enforcing the rules, ensuring fair play, and maintaining the flow of the game. They make decisions on plays, such as awarding penalties, tries, or scrum resets, based on their judgment and the rules. The referee communicates clearly with players and teams, and often works with assistant referees to monitor different areas of the field. They have the authority to stop, restart, and manage the game to ensure safety and fairness. Their role is crucial in upholding the integrity of the sport while allowing the game to proceed smoothly.
