The NRL have confirmed a recall for Chris Sutton to on-field duties for the first time this year.

The referee has been used in other roles by the NRL over the first 13 rounds of this season, but with Ashley Klein - who will referee Game 1 of the 2024 State of Origin series on Wednesday evening - and Todd Smith rested, Sutton will move back into a main refereeing position.

Klein will serve on double duty in the bunker this weekend for the North Queensland Cowboys - New Zealand Warriors' game, as well as the Melbourne Storm - Newcastle Knights.

Grant Atkins will referee the Brisbane Broncos and Cronulla Sharks clash in what could be the game of the weekend, while Peter Gough will take charge of the King's Birthday clash between the Canterbury Bulldogs and Parramatta Eels on Monday.

Here are all the appointments for Round 14.
