With officiating controversies at a low to start the season, the NRL have stuck to their guns, with the same eight referees to run out in charge of games in Round 4 of the 2023 season.
In a move that will come as little surprise to anyone, Ashley Klein, who is consistently rated by those in charge as the game's best with the whistle, will take charge of the grand final rematch between the Parramatta Eels and Penrith Panthers.
Adam Gee, who featured heavily in the finals series last year, will handle the battle of Brisbane between the Dolphins and Broncos in what could be described as the weekend's other major game.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs - who played preliminary finals football last year, and the Manly Sea Eagles, will be under the control of Chris Sutton, while Todd Smith, who continues to stamp his status as one of the game's top officials among fans, will handle the firey local derby on Sunday night between the St George Illawarra Dragons and Cronulla Sharks.
Here are all the appointments for Round 4.
