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 Peter Scibberas, a proud product of the Penrith Referees Association.

Graded as a Touch Judge, Peter became one of the standout officials in the NSW competition and was widely regarded as the number one touch judge in the state for a significant period of time.
A respected and highly consistent member of the Graded Squad, Peter’s dedication, professionalism and ability on the line saw him earn his opportunity at NRL level.
A fantastic career and a wonderful example of where commitment to officiating can take you.

Who will be featured tomorrow? Stay tuned!

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 remember William Gladstone “Webby” Neill — one of rugby league’s true pioneers. A premiership-winning player with South Sydney and Newtown (played in the very first Grand Final and was also one of the very first Premiership winners), a Kangaroo tourist, and later one of the game’s leading referees, Webby’s contribution stretched across both sides of the whistle. Known for his feel for the advantage rule and his ability to keep the game flowing, Neill went on to referee 192 NSWRFL premiership matches, finals football and Test rugby league. A remarkable figure from the game’s earliest years, Webby Neill’s legacy remains an important part of rugby league officiating history.
