The Super League referee teams for Round 17 have been confirmed, with Liam Moore and Chris Kendall taking key derby fixtures.
With every game this season being shown live on Sky Sports, once again, every game has a video referee assigned.
The action kicks off on Thursday night as Warrington Wolves look to capitalise on St Helens and Hull KR faltering last week as they host a Leeds Rhinos side just outside the playoff spots,
Jack Smith is referee, and has Tom Grant as his video referee.
Then, on Friday night, it’s the big one: London Broncos host Castleford Tigers at Stonebridge Road Stadium in Ebbsfleet – where Lingard’s side look to build on a victory over St Helens.
James Vella is the man in the middle, and consulting the replays is Liam Rush.
Elsewhere, Wigan Warriors play St Helens in the original derby fixture. Saints won earlier this year, but lost last time out.
Liam Moore takes this one, with Ben Thaler the video ref.
There are three games on Saturday – first, Hull FC vs Hull KR in the third Hull derby of the year, where Chris Kendall is referee and video referee is Liam Moore.
Leigh Leopards play Huddersfield Giants in a game between sides seperated by just one point.
Tom Grant takes to the field, while Ben Thaler is again video referee.
Finally, Saturday evening sees Catalans Dragons against Salford Red Devils in a huge game.
Aaron Moore is referee and Jack Smith is the video referee.
The full list of appointments can be found below.

This will be interesting, both clubs tend to lose when he referees, and FC won both matches when he refereed the derby. I’d be tempted to get your pennies on FC actually winning a game.
