A police officer has been sacked after an incident at a recent NRL game between the Sydney Roosters and the Melbourne Storm.
The off-duty officer was at the game at Allianz Stadium with his father (also a policeman) and threw an object at the referee.
The father — reportedly a high-ranking officer — is also under investigation for his role in the ugly incident.

Melbourne Storm won the game 18-12 and respected ref Ashley Klein was in charge.
Some fans were left frustrated during the match due to some controversial bunker decisions.
“An officer has been issued an infringement notice following an investigation into an incident involving two off-duty police officers on Thursday 18 April, at a football match in Moore Park,” a police spokesperson said.
“The probationary constable was dismissed from the NSW Police.
“An internal investigation into the incident continues.”
A third person was also involved.
Venues NSW — which runs Allianz Stadium as well the SCG, Accor Stadium, CommBank Stadium, WIN Stadium and McDonald Jones Stadium — have banned the three people from all their venues for up to two years.
A Venues NSW spokesperson said the ban was for “offensive behaviour”.
The NRL have also reportedly banned the officers from games.
The object did not hit or harm the referees.
