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 celebrate one of rugby league’s most respected and accomplished referees, Col Pearce.
Graded from the South Sydney Referees Association as referee number #402, Pearce built an extraordinary career in the middle. His first grade debut came in Round 16, 1947, when Parramatta took on Manly at Cumberland Oval. From there, he went on to control an incredible 343 NSWRFL first grade matches.
Pearce’s final first grade appointment was fittingly on the biggest stage of all, the 1968 Grand Final between South Sydney and Manly at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
A referee of great authority, consistency and class, Col Pearce left a lasting mark on the game and remains one of the finest officials rugby league has seen.
Today we recognise and celebrate the best referee each year by awarding them the Col Pearce medal
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 feature Luke Potter, a proud rugby league Touch Judge who built an impressive career on the NRL sidelines.
Luke made his NRL Touch Judge debut in Round 13, 2008, and went on to serve the game with professionalism, consistency and dedication. As NRL Touch Judge #99, he earned 113 NRL appointments across seven seasons, including four finals series matches.
He was also rewarded with representative honours as a Touch Judge in the 2011 City v Country fixture, a reflection of the trust and respect he earned through his performances.
A wonderful servant of the game and another important name in the history of rugby league’s touch judges.
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 feature Jay Farlow, a dedicated rugby league official who made his mark as a Touch Judge across the senior refereeing ranks.
As NSWRLRA #935 and NRL #119, he earned appointments across the NRL, NSW Reserve Grade, Under-20s and representative rugby league, including a senior international Test match as a Touch Judge.
The role of a Touch Judge demands sharp focus, clear communication, fitness, accuracy and trust from the referee in the middle. Jay’s appointments across multiple levels of the game are a strong reflection of the respect he earned and the standards he upheld throughout his officiating career.
Who will be featured tomorrow? Stay tuned!
