Chris Kendall has been appointed as referee for Saturday’s Betfred Super League Grand Final between Wigan Warriors and Hull KR at Old Trafford.
It will be the 32-year-old’s third Grand Final as a referee, and his first since the 2020 title decider which was played behind closed doors at the KCOM Stadium in Hull, as it was then known – the only Grand Final to have been played away from Old Trafford.
Kendall refereed his second consecutive Betfred Challenge Cup Final at Wembley earlier this year, so will complete an officiating double last recorded by Liam Moore in 2021.
Moore has been appointed as video referee, with Richard Thompson and Johnny Roberts as touch judges.
The full list of officials is:
Referee – Chris Kendall
Touch Judges – Richard Thompson and Johnny Roberts
Video Referee – Liam Moore
Reserve Referee – Jack Smith
Reserve Touch Judge – Warren Turley
Time Keeper – Nick Hopeg
Match Commissioner – Gerry Kershaw

Betfred Super League Grand Final's Match Officials confirmed
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

The Burgess try cost Liam Moore the final, see if he can do any better with a replay in front of him
