Its borderline defamation so I guess it got pulled very quickly. But the stats are correct.I cant find it anywhere.

My story is little dramaticI remember ringing Talkin Sport years ago about Harrigan. Graeme went on and on about him being the best ever referee.
I pointed out that the Bulldogs had a 30% win rate under him, and he seemed a bit surprised.
I viewed our record under Harrigan as a clash of styles. We liked a forward dominated game, and he liked a fast tempo game, which in that era suited the Bronocs. Our record under him in his later years improved a bit.
It‘s not the same problem with Golden Boy Sutton.
Just realised that friend is on TK now, he remembers,My story is little dramatic
Goes back to an off season in the mid nineties after losing only 4 games the previous season all under horrible Harrigan's refereeing,
One day I was having lunch in a pub with a friend a Bulldogs supporter when suddenly Harrigan walks in with friends, he came towards us to check a wine fridge he said, Hi boys we acknowledge, and like usual I couldn't help myself,
I said are you going to be lenient this year towards the Bulldogs Billy
He replied I have no problems with Canterbury it's the other way around
I said we've lost 4 games last season all under your refereeing
He said you mean to tell me I shouldn't have given a late penalty try against Polla-Mounter,
I said I agree on the penalty try but 3 times you should have penalised the opposition just prior but didn't...that penalty try wouldn't have existed,
My friend said while giggling leave him alone he is here to have lunch,
I said it's a dream comes true to have the opportunity to say my piece of mind to him,
Billy laughed and said "have a good day boys" then walked away...I still hate him
Hey, They were the good days !!!Still giggling,
They were great, will catch up with you soonHey, They were the good days !!!
Bills wifes family lived across the road from my old house. So I'd see him most school holidays but generally kept the Dogs off the menu - bit creepy when someone is living close to your in laws and giving u a hard time footy wise.My story is little dramatic

Good idea...One condition, no crying about the BulldogsThey were great, will catch up with you soon
When I was reffing juniors our last refs meeting before the season started a first grade ref came to our meeting to give us a bit of a pep talk and talk about new interpretations.My story is little dramatic

All I can say is he was amazing at controlling the results and got away with itBills wifes family lived across the road from my old house. So I'd see him most school holidays but generally kept the Dogs off the menu - bit creepy when someone is living close to your in laws and giving u a hard time footy wise.
All I can say is that his in-laws thought he was a bit left of centre if u know what I'm saying.
Duh - ex-cop. Is that a surprise?All I can say is he was amazing at controlling the results and got away with it
You can tell he had that cockiness attitude watching him talk to players during games, too late now but I wish that was his only problemWhen I was reffing juniors our last refs meeting before the season started a first grade ref came to our meeting to give us a bit of a pep talk and talk about new interpretations.
Before he got to the top, Harrigan came to one of our meetings.
Couldn’t help but think he was full of himself.
Say no moreDuh - ex-cop. Is that a surprise?
nothing to cry about leave that to you, quite happy with the boysGood idea...One condition, no crying about the Bulldogs
If you are not confident, almost to the point of being arrogant, then players will walk all over you,and push the envelope to the n’th degree.You can tell he had that cockiness attitude watching him talk to players during games, too late now but I wish that was his only problem
Yes we know.Does it matter ?
We all know Sutton is a scum !
