BRISBANE: The NRL linesman who missed the blatant, metres-forward, pass that led to one of the Brisbane Broncos’ seven tries in the team’s preliminary final win over the Auckland Warriors at Suncorp Stadium last night was struck and killed by a council bus as he crossed nearby Caxton Street after the match.
The tragedy happened within minutes of a serious injury to the game’s referee Gerard Sutton (above, left) when he accidentally fell into an uncovered manhole (above, right) on the footpath on the eastern side of the stadium as he made his way to his Uber pickup point.
