Rugby league legend Steve Roach was left fuming when an “imbecile” threw a bottle at Josh Addo-Carr during Sunday’s game at CommBank Stadium.
The ‘Foxx’ scored a hat-trick as his Bulldogs beat Gold Coast 36-26, and it was during his second try that the unsavoury incident happened.
Addo-Carr intercepted a Titans pass near his defensive tryline, and sprinted 90 metres downfield to score – his second long-range intercept try of the day.

As he passed the halfway line, an object could be seen flying in his direction and landing on the turf as he ran past.
On closer inspection it appeared a person from the crowd had hurled a water bottle towards the Bulldogs superstar as he sprinted at full pace.
“I hope they find the imbecile that did that and throw them out of the crowd,” Roach said in commentary.
Luckily the foolish act did not seem to impact Addo-Carr, who scored his third try just after half time to steer his side to victory.
