He went in awkwardly on a tackle and, you know, he hit Cole, the winger, on the head.
But it wasn't one of those ones, hey, pal, I'm after you.
So sending him off was a bit extreme.
What was the story around Gary Sullivan?
Well, this is a story and a half.
There's a former Australian representative, played for Newcastle in the 1970s, and there was a robbery at Chadstone Shopping Centre, an armed robbery in 1993, where a man in a balaclava walked in, and just as some security guards were getting $80,000 out of a shop, he burst in and shot three of them in the leg and took the money.
No one has been able to find or locate who that masked robber was until one of the security guards passed away a few months ago and a member of his family said, I send out a plea for anyone who can find the man who did this, this masked man.
And they've tracked it down.
And last week there was a raid on the coast where Gary Sullivan, the former Australian forward who played a few tests at age 75, was arrested from his home on the Gold Coast.

He was β the locals knew him as a frail little 75-year-old man.
And suddenly he's been charged with these offences, Gerard.
I saw his neighbours interviewed and they were going, what, him?
So he'd just been living quietly there.
And how they found him, I'll never know, because it traced back to that plea a few months ago.
