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 Steve Chiddy, who was graded as a referee from the Manly Referees Association.

While Steve began his career as a referee, it was as a Touch Judge and Video Referee that he truly flourished, becoming one of the most respected and significant officials of his era. His career statistics are outstanding. When combining all of his official appointments, Steve was involved in more than 850 ARL/NRL first grade fixtures across a remarkable career spanning around 25 years.

It is a tremendous record and a true reflection of his professionalism, consistency and outstanding contribution to rugby league officiating.

Who will be featured tomorrow? Stay tuned!
