The 31-year-old will officiate the Round 18 clash between Brisbane and Canterbury at Suncorp Stadium. Sleeman, who hails from Brisbane, refereed a Broncos trial match in the pre-season and has been a touch judge in the NRL since 2014 with over 60 first grade games to her name. “Graham Annesley was only saying last week his concerns about the lack of depth in the ranks,” The Daily Telegraph’s Phil Rothfield told NRL 360 on Fox League. “There’s long been a view whether the females like Belinda and Kasey Badger had the speed for NRL. “Now they’re full-time officials and they’re doing as much work as the males are, there is a very good opinion there that they’ll go well.” Source: [url=https://outline.com/SYqtLF]Fox Sports[/url] [/QUOTE]
