Whilst playing in the Brisbane Rugby League Premiership as the Norths side's hooker, Geiger had just served a three-match ban for a late tackle when he was selected to represent Queensland in the first match of 1977's interstate series against New South Wales due to the absence of Test hooker John Lang with a knee injury.
The selectors had originally chosen the Blues' George Peponis and omitted Queensland captain Arthur Beetson, but when Australian Rugby Football League president Kevin Humphreys refused to ratify the side, Beetson was reinstated, with the Queensland selectors putting in Geiger at the expense of Peponis.
[4] His last match for the Kangaroos was the closely contested 1977 Rugby League World Cup final against Great Britain, in which he played hooker and helped Australia to a one-point victory.
[5] Geiger made some appearances for the Penrith Panthers in the 1979 NSWRFL season's Premiership, but after being replaced by local junior Steve Martin, he returned to Brisbane.
To celebrate its 75th anniversary, the Norths Devils club in 2008 included Geiger on its list of the greatest 75 players, coaches, administrators, volunteers and supporters.
