Refereed the schools match at Wembley and was Young Match Official of the Year in 2014. Also the current Referee of the Year in the Wakefield Society. Obviously very young but I've been quite impressed by him and I believe that he is generally very highly rated.
Touch Judge: Jason Woodman (Halifax)
Last time he was down to do an Oxford game, he got removed just after I posted in the refwatch thread so obviously have to be careful this time. Last match we actually saw him was as reserve referee at the Swinton away game last season. Since then he's been to Australia and before that he went to the Super League Grand final. This was his view. You can see me in this photo (OK, you have to zoom in a lot to do so.)
Touch Judge: Craig Smith (St Helens)
Last seen as touch judge in the York away game last season. Was an in-goal judge at the Academy grand final last season.
Reserve Referee: Jamie Butterfield (Widnes)
Third time as reserve referee at one of our games - the last one was York home last season. Was touch judge at the Academy grand final last season.
Match Commissioner: Colin Morris (Huddersfield)
Former referee. Was match commissioner at Rochdale away last season.
Match Assessor: Ken Tinsdale (Wakefield)
The RFL don't normally show match assessors in the officials' list, but for this week they have done so for every game. Another former referee.
