🚨Anything But A Bag Challenge🚨

Some Questionable Choices🤨

[Huddersfield Rugby League Referees Society @huddref]

Today a letter was sent to all community clubs from the RFL addressing concerns around the growing levels of abuse towards match officials. With games being called off every weekend, or some officials doing 4+ games a day, we simply can't sustain the loss of officials anymore.

[Huddersfield Rugby League Referees Society @huddref]

We're so short of referees that games get called off every week, yet theres grown men making a teenage girl cry after doubling up to make sure a game goes ahead. How are we supposed to develop the next Super League officials if they get abused to the point they quit. #NoRefNoGame

Huge congratulations to "TV Tony" Tony Martin on being awarded an OBE in the New Years Honours list for services to rugby league. A fine servant of our great game and the perfect recognition for his distinguished career as a match official.

What a week our juniors are having! Our very own @AarynBelafonte has his first u16s scholarship game this week and Matty is his very reliable TJ! That's 2/3 pre season goals we set ticked off and we're not even halfway through the season yet. Good luck from all of us!

Our thoughts are with Rob's family and friends this evening. A true hero of the game, and the epitome of bravery and determination in the face of adversity. The way Rob not only raised awareness for this cruel disease but the way he fought it was simply awe inspiring.

[Leeds Rhinos @leedsrhinos]
