Sam Burgess late hit on cherry

[HappilyManly]

Burgess has not been cited.

Sambo has a lucky rabbit's foot 😎

At least Manly won't be playing them again in 2017

Will tell you
A fan of Burgess
He completely changes angles to run across (3) lanes to hit the main man.
Ball go's inside shoulder to the short ball but still braces and shoulder hits the chin of DCE....
To play this down opens up a can of worms the NRL will not cope with.
Minimum 2
Max 6
Do your job so we can get on with it.

Ludicrous decision not to cite him, the NRL is now going to have to come out explain why this decision was made.

Won't it depend on how much media exposure it gets? Might be a Cameron Smith scenario where it gets swept under the rug.

 

[Wombat Legacy]

Who cares, it's just footy. Nothing wrong with what he did, maybe a penalty at the most.

What?

The media own the game FFS

edit (for the slow class) FFS the media own the 'entertainment' now......

We lost Tapau & AFB for less

 

[Shoe1]

Fingers crossed he gets one of those "stern letters" from the nrl.

 

[Shoe1]

Ps if cherry had the ball in hand it would be cited. So I don't get it.

 

[Danly Manly]

He is a dirty ****ing grub, especially when his team is losing.

We lost Tapau & AFB for less

We lost John Hopoate for less.

Burgess MUST get cited by the MRC for: a shoulder charge on a player who was without the ball
MUST HAPPEN

 

[wombatgc]

Cherry looks like he aged ten years between the second last photo and the last!

 

[HoldenV8]

Who did mother Burgess do to get him off of that one?

Effing disgraceful

 

[HoldenV8]

There you have it people.....proof positive that some players are a protected species in the NRL.

And shock horror they all seem to be Nein's media darlings......

The NRL can go and get well and truly F**KED. If it wasn't for that fact that I love this club I would be walking away from it right now.

 

[ALinda]

Utterly outrageous and disgraceful!!

Not only if Cherry had the ball, but if he had got seriously injured from that hit, would it still have been swept under the carpet? Miraculously he didn't, but it beggars belief that the NRL can ignore what the grub did

 

[globaleagle]

I don't know if they provide reasons but the nrl and or the evil untouchables of the mrc should provide a reason that an off the ball shoulder charge hit on a smaller player is not worthy of a suspension.

I fully expect the main stream media to be relatively quiet about this (manly coverage) but I hope some organisation asks for and gets a response.

BTW, it's almost impossible to find out who is on the mrc with a google search. Except for ex eels and bears player buettner (or however it's spelt.) Maybe there's part of the reason. Double the manly hate (playing for nthern eagles doesn't count) rolled into one dud ****head wankmeister.

Effing disgraceful

didn't you know?
she works as a cleaner & polisher in the bunker & mrc headquarters

Next time any player is cited the lawyer will have the Burgess hit on tape as a precedent to show the judiciary. Hey this one didn't get punished so why is my client here?

Your submission is noted learned friend, but you have not supplied any evidence whatsoever that your client is a Burgess brother. 4 weeks.

Oh, wait - your client is a Manly player? 6 weeks.
