REFFING? WHY WE GAVE IT A TR.Y

Brothers kick playing days into touch to gó go foul throttle in middle

REFEREEING is a family affair for Liam and Aaron Moore.

The pair are both blowing the whistle in the Betfred Super League nearly 25 years after twins Robert and John Connolly officiated in the same season in the top flight.

Now the competition has another two siblings taking charge in the middle... although their story is a bit different.

Liam, 27, has already refereed a couple of Challenge Cup finals, plus the last two Old Trafford deciders. He is due to take charge of Saturday's England v France international at Warrington.

But younger brother Aaron arrived on the Super League scene a little later having been a player for North Wales Crusaders in League 1.

Liam explained: "We both played rugby when we were younger.

"Aaron played at a much higher level than I did. I was more school rugby and, if I'm honest, I was very average at best.
