Continuing with our new daily series: Behind the Whistle!
Each day, we’ll shine a spotlight on a referee or touch judge who has helped shape, serve and contribute to the great game of rugby league.

Today we feature Rod Lawrence, who came through the South Sydney Referees before earning his NSWRL grading towards the back end of the 1990s.

Rod built a strong career across multiple levels of the game, refereeing more than 120 NSW reserve grade matches, including the 2001 NSW Premier League Grand Final at Stadium Australia. He began his first grade journey as an NRL referee before successfully transitioning into the touch judge ranks, where he went on to officiate at the highest level, including State of Origin.

A respected official who made a valuable contribution both in the middle and on the touchline.

Who will be featured tomorrow? Stay tuned!
