Liam Moore has been appointed referee for Saturday’s Betfred World Club Challenge between Wigan Warriors and Penrith Panthers at the DW Stadium.
Jonnie Roberts and Rich Thompson will be the touch-judges, with Chris Kendall the video referee, and James Vella the reserve referee.
It will be Moore’s first World Club Challenge, following his appointment to referee the last three Betfred Super League Grand Finals, and the 2020 and 2021 Betfred Challenge Cup Finals.
The match will be played under International Rules, as with last autumn’s Tests series between England and Tonga.
That means the same regulations relating to the use of the 18th player as have been introduced to RFL competitions this season, but the laws relating to stealing the ball in the tackle will be as in the NRL – allowing one-on-one ball stealing if additional tacklers have “dropped off”.

Referee for Saturday WCC game
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
