Sam Burgess late hit on cherry

[HoldenV8]

I wonder if they'll go with the Phil Gould defense of "he was just bracing for a split second impact"???

The video replay shows that he lined Cherry up from about 5 metres away. He was so intent on it that he failed to do his job as a defender because had he been watching the ball he might have been in a position to tackle Jake and possibly stop a try.

And some people wanted this PoS at Manly???

This is the most blatant shoulder charge this year.
1) Chez is completely blindsided as he expects a pass from his right side
2) Shoulder connects with head

Chez is lucky that his jaw wasn't shattered 😡

Well said @HappilyManly and the images you provided above are pretty damning in my view 😡 Its hard to see how the MRC can ignore the hit but they'll no doubt find a way.
Not just his jaw, its lucky and a wonder Chez's shoulder/collarbone and/or ribs weren't smashed

If charged, I suspect they'll go with the tried and true defence "but he's a Burgess".

 

[Bird of Prey]

Well he is a prat BUT he would be a good buy when off contract. He is playing like a cranky old man and needs a change of environment , get out of the eastern suburbs Sam come over to gods country and reboot your career.

Sam got his just deserts
We hit him and his entire disgraced team with 46 points

Thanks Happy...that's CSI stuff mate..
That looks absolutely cheap and cowardly. What a fu$&en dog

Definitely saw him and lined him up. G.R.U.B

Its off topic but reading this about Burgess needing a change of environment reminded me of something. Last night at my local watching the game and a clearly frustrated Burgess drops the ball right near the try-line - a guy in the crowd yells out "its time for you to go back to Pommyland, Sammy!" It cracked me up

Can you do that again and make it sound like a bloke with no teeth

If Jim Comans was still alive and in charge of the judiciary, Burgess would be sitting out the rest of this year and part of next year as well.

I can't really blame him for hitting on DCE. I would have went further and just ravished him on the spot.

I love the Chezza!!

 

[HoldenV8]

Suit up @mozgrame 😛

 

[mozgrame]

Well...today I would, but in the heat of the moment last night, I probably would have gone bareback.

I would have thought that Choc x 4 was your go

His desire was expressed in contravention of white ribbon day recommendation

Too big and strong. Mamo left the country as well after I spoke to him.

Little chicken.

😡

Just jokes people. Don't be alarmed. I can't have you all wary now. Just go about your business and pay me noooo mind...



Suckers! Mwahahaha!!!

Burgess has not been cited.

 

[MadMarcus]

Burgess has not been cited.

What a disgrace

 

[Eagleheart]

Not impressed at all.

That was definitely a shoulder charge and should have been cited 100%, (with a one week suspension at the very least.)

It beggars belief how golden vermin boy gets away with this, IMO it was far worse than what Kapow or AFB were penalised for. This just makes me so angry, it is blatant favouritism and one rule for some highlighted yet again by the NRL.

 

[Clay]

It was deliberate and late. If we didn't score it deserved a penalty, but I wouldn't be want to see a player suspended for that, even though many have been suspended for less.
