I think they should have moved the girls a bit more to the left before taking the photo.

:wink: I was trying to be a bit more subtle than that Ink. I'd imagine she will be able to mark the 10 mtrs without even lifting her flag.

Good luck to her. There's every chance that she's better than most of the other numbskulls running around in first grade ref's uniforms.

Belinda ready to grace national rugby league stage

BELINDA Sleeman is showing the boys how it's done.

The former Rockhampton referee will make Australian rugby league history this weekend as she becomes the first female to officiate a National Rugby League line.

Sleeman, who currents works with the Ipswich Rugby League Referees Association, was appointed as a touch judge for the round 26 match between Wests Tigers and Cronulla Sharks at Leichhardt Oval on Saturday at 3pm.

The 28-year-old was initially inspired to become a referee 10 years ago while watching rugby league on the weekends with her dad.

Since approaching the Rockhampton Referee Association shortly after, Sleeman has forged her way onto the national stage.

Sleeman was included in the NRL's Referee Elite Performance Unit Squad in November, and in July, was tipped to become the first female referee.

The humble official had since made the prediction a reality and said the opportunity was incredible.

"The opportunity I've been given through the NRL is really great," Sleeman said.

"It's a pretty awesome job.

"It's just great to have women involved at any level of the game. I think they're pretty used to me now. We seem to fit in pretty well."

The NRL holds a Women in League round every May

Tegan Rolfe is a Central Queensland Local who has represented Queensland and the Australian Jillaroos in Rugby League.

Erin Molan has taken on one of the lead roles on the NRL Footy Show.

Canterbury Bulldogs boss Raelene Castle is the only female CEO in the NRL

Dominique McGregor plays a key managerial role at the CQ NRL Bid.
