NRL Round 14 referees: Recalls confirmed for dropped officials, Klein to back up from Origin

Todd Smith will return to refereeing duties this weekend, with the official who was axed over the last two rounds handed what could be the game of the round.

Smith will officiate the Cronulla Sharks and Brisbane Broncos clash on Saturday evening in the Shire, with both teams sitting in the top four after 13 rounds of action.

The two-week exile from the bunker for Gerard Sutton is also over, who will referee the Tigers and Raiders to start the round on Friday evening after jetting back from Adelaide where he is the standby referee for Origin 1, before sitting in the bunker for the Warriors and Dolphins on Saturday afternoon.

Ashley Klein, who will be in the middle for Origin 1, will be given longer to back-up, handling the bunker for the Titans and Rabbitohs on Saturday afternoon, before rerereeing the Roosters and Bulldogs on Sunday afternoon.

All five on-field referees from last weekend - Klein, Sutton, Liam Kennedy, Grant Atkins and Peter Gough will keep their spots for Round 14 and will be joined by Smith and Chris Sutton.
