Bill Harrigan on Face to Face

[Saxon]

Bill's cosy relationship with Storm coach Bill Anderson. And the Storm board

Who was Bill Anderson?

 

[Captain Apollo]

Who was Bill Anderson?

Probably confusing him with his "brother" Chris

Seriously though, Bill Anderson coached in the 1970s and 1980s.

 

[JamesRustle]

Salty St George supporters... Entertaining everyone for decades.

I thought Bill screwed the Tigers in 1989 slightly more than the Dragons in 1999.

The guy has literally admitted to managing games to make contests more even, openly said we're in the entertainment business and one sided contests arent entertaining for anyone. Absolute POS

Winds me up too, his “game management” approach is widely adopted now and players have adapted. They know the refs won’t blow 40 penalties a game for something so they’ll just keep infringing the same way. What’s worse is the powers that he in the game have to be able to see it but won’t do anything about it.

Name a better ref though. You have to give it to the guy even if he is an egomaniac. Who can ever forget his long haired phase in SL lol. He was trying to be a model back then, and I think he was in the calendars with the players

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

I,d like to hear from ex eels and dragons coach Brian Smith about his opinion of this fella.

Was classy enough to never have the old Saints fans dump a bucket of spit on his head.

and Wayne Pearce and Bruce Maguire

Wayne Pearce thinks he stuck his hand up the wrong way that day and is to stubborn to admit his mistake.

 

[blue bags]

I cannot unsee what I witnessed at the MCG in year 2000 Dragons vs Storm
Storm won that night 70 . 10
Bill was referee. And I witnessed Bill getting in the same car . Behind the grandstand. In the carpark.with Storm coach Anderson
And 2 other Storm official's. Dressed in suit's
Recognised as the Storm chief executive
All 4 stared at me for a moment
Their eyes got bigger. Like a guilty look

Didn’t he say that in his book that Harriman admitted it to him

That wrong call did change the game they scored off that set
