    I'm guessing it was the match referenced here (under A Flashback to 1995):

    "A Blacktown Workers player (who shall remain nameless), was sent from the field of play. He responded by head butting the referee, (I think the referees name was Jones), and knocking him to the ground. One of our players, (who shall also remain nameless, but wore the number 11 jumper), then “jobbed” the Workers player.

    The game was held up for close to an hour whilst the police were called.

    The Workers player received a life ban.

    The video of the incident made it onto the news, and was even seen on an American sports show."

     

    I didn't think it was that far back but it must have been in 1995. I don't recall ever seeing another incident quite like it in league!

     

    I can't find any footage out there at all. I would've thought that it would be around somewhere out there.

  I don't remember this story but a few years ago in my age group of footy a guy pushed the ref and his brother punched him they were both banded. He had a lot of potential this guy he was making the north Queensland and Queensland side I think .. He didnt play for my team and he was an idiot for doing it
