Gee and Klein appointed as NRL semi-final referees

The NRL has appointed Ashley Klein and Adam Gee as referees for this weekend's semi-finals. Klein will officiate the match between the New Zealand Warriors and Newcastle Knights, while Gee will handle the Sydney Roosters versus Cronulla Sharks game. This selection comes after both have had significant roles in the league, including Klein's recent assignment in last year's Grand Final. The NRLW's first week of finals will have Belinda Sharpe and Kasey Badger as the referees, with an all-female team of touch judges.
