Townsville & District Rugby League Referees

Congratulations to Sam Nosworthy on a remarkable milestone today as he takes the field for his 50th A Grade game. ⭐️

Since making his A Grade debut in 2021, Sam has established himself as one of the competition’s most respected referees, demonstrating professionalism, consistency and a genuine passion for the game.

Reaching 50 A Grade appointments is an outstanding achievement in itself, but even more special is that Sam becomes the sixth referee in association history to reach this milestone.🔥

Congratulations, Sam, on your 50th A Grade game. A well-deserved milestone and one to be extremely proud of. Here’s to many more games ahead.💙

* since recording started in 2007

During the week our referees had the awesome opportunity and privilege of training alongside and learning from Michael Wise, who has run over 350 touch judge lines in the NRL. ⚡️

Hearing firsthand from someone with such extensive experience was invaluable, providing great insights and helping our referees continue to develop their skills.

Opportunities like this don’t come around often, and we’re incredibly grateful for the time and knowledge shared to support the development of our referees. 💙

Congratulations to all of our TDRLRA referees and touch judges who officiated Grand Finals at the Bill Nettle Challenge today! 🔥

Congratulations also goes to the RLTD officials on their appointments as well. It was great to see our referees supporting each other!

Well done to everyone involved! 🏉

What a fantastic Game Day Experience for Kate! 🔆

Kate was able to experience a North Queensland Cowboys home game from a completely different perspective. She joined the referees behind the scenes in the sheds, took part in their on-field warm-up, and ran water for the referees during the game!

We love being able to provide experiences like this for our members and are so proud of Kate for making the most of this opportunity.👏💙
