Hi all

As you would've started to see across the website, especially across the more recent seasons we have started to add in match official roles (namely touch judges and video referees) on-top of existing referee data we have.

If you have anything to assist or improve our record-keeping in this area, feel free to post in the forums about and we will address it when we can!

Thanks in advance
AJ!

If you are looking find more Touch Judge appointments for games. Their are NSWRL Referees Association Annual Reports. Going back to 1962. That list Touch Judge appointments for First and Reserve Grade Grand Finals, Rep Games and Minor Cup Finals. Which you can view online.

Also just further. Touch Judges are also listed for most games. In most of the Ernie Christensen Rugby League Yearbooks. Including some games not listed in the NSWRL Referees Association Annual Reports.

That's awesome thanks Paul ! Appreciate that a lot mate.

More so a call out for anyone with old Big League's as well or notice any differences from footage on the internet to what we have currently in the database as well for the more current games.

I am happy to take any help with this so it is greatly appreciated.

I just further query about Touch Judge appointments. I suspect the years you that might have some problems finding touch judges for game. Will be 1984 and also 1991 to 1996. Prior to the Grand Final in those years. Because in those years I have mentioned. While they were in the years where referee's appointments were kept secret game day. Also in those years Touch Judges were not listed in the Big League after games in those years I have mentioned.
-The other problems with Touch Judges you might have. Could be the playoff for fifth from 1983 to 1986 then again from 1988 to 1991. Also the touch judges for the ANZAC games in 1985. Which were not listed in Big League in the next round after those games.
-Another problem you could have with touch judges. Are the games in the midweek cup. Prior to the Midweek cup final. In particular from 1984.
-If I myself or anyone who posts in the forums. Happen to know who the touch judge are for games prior to grand finals/midweek cup finals in the years I have mentioned. Would you have no problems with anyone posting about it in the forums?
