JACK SMITH has been chosen to referee Friday’s crucial Super League match between Wigan Warriors and Hull KR.
With the two teams level on points at the top of the table with three rounds remaining, the game will go a long way to determining who claims the League Leaders’ Shield.
Smith will be the main official at The Brick Community Stadium, with Ben Thaler taking on the responsibility of video referee.
Friday’s other matches will see Aaron Moore take charge of Castleford Tigers’ home clash with Leigh Leopards, and Tom Grant blowing the whistle for Leeds Rhinos and Hull FC.
Chris Kendall has been picked for Warrington Wolves’ clash with St Helens, while Salford Red Devils’ tie against Catalans Dragons will be officiated by Liam Moore.
Sunday’s only Super League match, between Huddersfield Giants and London Broncos, will be under the watch of James Vella.
