Here's who refereed Leeds Rhinos' matches in 2024

Seven different referees blew the whistle in Leeds Rhinos’ 28 competitive games this year.

Rhinos had a 100 per cent success rate with Marcus Griffiths (three games) and Liam Rush (one) in the middle, all those being against bottom-four clubs. Jack Smith was in charge of four Leeds games, each against a team who finished in the top-six and Leeds lost them all.

Chirs Kendall was Rhinos’ most frequent referee, being appointed to seven of their matches, four of which they won. Liam Moore did six of Leeds’ games (two wins, four defeats) and the others were Aaron Moore with four (three wins, one defeat) and Tom Grant three (one win, two defeats).
