Gerard Sutton and Ashley Klein will referee the 2018 Holden State of Origin II at ANZ Stadium on Sunday, June 24.

The selections were made by the referees appointments committee, which includes Bernard Sutton, Officiating Head Coach Michael Maguire and Assistant Referees Coaches Russell Smith and Steve Carrall.
