I can't beleive he only got 1 week and that there has not been any sort of uproar from the media.
It was an very ugly incident and deserved 4 weeks.... just can't mess with necks in our game.

From what I have read, he had never been charged in the UK either so it does seem like it was a one-off. 4 weeks would of been too harsh IMO.
Maybe im just a bit biased, I like the guy. He seems very down to earth, easy going, and extremely tough on the field. He is aggressive and it's pleasure seeing him play.
4 weeks, specially in this time of the year would of received a big uproar from the media, but 1 week is about right IMO.
Burgess also did not appear to deliberately drive him into the ground but with the combination of momentum and body positioning he came down on top of the player.
If there had of been any indication otherwise I think the judiciary would have given him longer. Much longer
Howwever, what Burgess did was purely idiotioc. He simply renched Barba's neck via his chin.... his action was not consistant with "working a player" or carrying out a tackle. It was a deliberate act to cause the other player some discomfort... definately a brain snap BUT... how much further would Burgess have to go to cause serious injury.... another 1/2 a cm perhaps.
It was very very very stupid. I am sure he was not far off causing a very serious injury.
Damm - old age and cold weather don't mix.
Yeah the neck snapper should have got a lot more.
Sorry guys
