Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2717612, member: 1899"] He was actually sent off for the Broncos as well in Round 6 1998. It was a for a high tackle against Manly after he had already been binned. It was a miserable evening for the Broncos, but if memory serves there was a feeling of 'get square' from the officials. The two had squared off in the season opener, which the Broncos won 22-6, but the only thing the media was interested in talking about was the 17-6 penalty count to Brisbane. Among those penalties included the dismissals of John Hopoate and Geoff Toovey who were sent off for dissent in the last minute of the contest. It was the first Manly game Bill Harrigan had refereed in 3 years, and his credibility was called into question. Hence, 'Bronco Bill' which he was known as for years. In the follow up game, Steve Clarke was in charge and the Sea Eagles won the count 13-4. As you can see, the NRL was an absolute mess in the beginning. [/QUOTE]
