💙 Supporting Beanie for Brain Cancer 💙

The NSW Referees High Performance Squad is proud to support the Mark Hughes Foundation and the Beanie for Brain Cancer campaign.

The Mark Hughes Foundation was created to raise awareness, support patients and families, and fund vital research into brain cancer. Brain cancer continues to have a devastating impact on so many families across Australia, and the Beanie for Brain Cancer campaign has become one of the most recognisable ways the rugby league community comes together to make a difference.

Our High Performance Squad is getting behind the cause by wearing their beanies, raising awareness, and encouraging others in the refereeing and rugby league community to support this important charity.

We are proud to stand with the Mark Hughes Foundation and support the fight against brain cancer.

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 Les Matthews who was graded from the Canterbury-Bankstown Referees Association. Les got a chance to officiate on the big stage in State of Origin and Test matches, but his dedication to this association, holding many positions, especially as the Executive Officer for several years, would be the highlight.

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 present a very special edition as we recognise our very first graded member, our #1, Arthur Ballerum.

Arthur was graded from the Balmain Referees Association and played an important role in the early history of our Association. He served as Association Treasurer from 1910 to 1912, before later becoming President from 1916 to 1920.

It is pioneers like Arthur who helped lay the foundations for our Association and shaped it into what it is today. His contribution to refereeing and to our Association’s history will always be remembered.

Who will be featured tomorrow? Stay tuned!
