Sam Burgess wins appeal and is free to play

[Woodsie]

The NRL Judiciary is made up of former players who convene in three-man panels to rule on on-field incidents. The judiciary is currently chaired by Wollongong district court judge Paul Conlon and made up of former players Mal Cochrane, Michael Buettner, Bradley Clyde, Sean Garlick, Don McKinnon and Bob Lindner....

Are all the radio stations, footy shows, commentators and journos going to complain everyday on every show about this like they did when Jake didn’t cop a suspension?

Jake did deserve a week but wasn’t as bad as what Burgess did AND Jake has a good record whereas Burgess has a disgusting record. Plus he’s been lucky not being charged over many other incidents over the years.

He knocked Moylan out who can’t even play a week later due to concussion issues.

NRL are a farce.

I’d imagine our angry friend Mr Kent will absolutely tee off around this tonight on 360.

Funny as hell if burgess cleans up a matinee idol in storm town after being let off. Next week he gets sent off for cleaning up smith. It writes itself this soap.
Next week intodgrity bjtes hard on player welfare.

Lets see how much they keep bringing up jakes case to highlight the MRC's inconsistency...which is overrated i'm told

Moylan gets a Grade 13 dangerous contact to the arm and shoulder of a Souths player with his head. He might have avoided a week on the sidelines if the charge was downgraded to contact to the upper arm only, but the video clearly shows he places his head in a position that puts the Souths player's arm and shoulder equally at risk.

That burgess grub has been charged 15 different times , whacks a smaller playmaker in the head and knocks him out . The judiciary finds him GUILTY and then imposes a $1900 dollar fine with no suspension. Am I living in a dream world ? If so when do the 40 virgin brides come knocking on my door ?

Boy, are you a glutton for punishment lol

Most men have enough trouble with one wife and you want 40?

He should have been out for 2 weeks. This is unacceptable.

Jake probably should have got 3 weeks so maybe we shouldn’t say too much!

That happens....Sam is God.

Can't understand how Burgess got off after knocking Moylan out. And then Maloney gets suspended for tripping. How can Maloney's offence worse?

How did Jake get off?? Just sayin’.....

Turdie's head will explode

I know one thing for a fact, and that is that Greenturd wares a micky mouse wrist watch.

Because all the Fox commentators said he is a good bloke.
