2026 REP REFEREE RECAP

As we wrap up the 2026 Representative Season, we’re looking back at the massive impact our officials made this year. The numbers are impressive, but the real story is the dedication behind them. From our first-year rookies stepping onto the rep stage for the very first time, to our seasoned officials making their NBL1 debuts or securing Grand Final panels, the growth across our entire officiating program has been nothing short of phenomenal.

These milestones represent countless hours of work. To every official who represented the Hornets this season, thank you. 👏🐝
