An ugly bottle-throwing incident last night ruined a rugby league masterpiece, as angry Rabbitohs fans threw bottles onto the SFS after watching their side go down at the death to bitter rivals the Roosters. After Mitchell Aubusson settled a pulsating local derby with just four minutes remaining, Roosters pivot Todd Carney narrowly missed being struck in the head by plastic bottles while lining-up his ultimately successful conversion that sealed a brutal 18-14 win.
The missiles, however, were targetted at referee Jason Robinson - who gifted the Roosters vital field position with a contentious fifth-tackle play-the-ball penalty against Beau Champion moments earlier.
Both the SCG Trust and NRL will this review CCTV footage this morning, with those responsible facing life bans form Moore Park.
