Sam Burgess head slam

Posted by Eel team six on August 26, 2017 at 9:38pm
Did anyone happen to catch the Souths game? Burgess was put on report for a head slam. Anyone think he might cop a week on the sidelines for it? That'd be fine by me.

    Saw it. Wasn't even a head slam. Refs got it wrong.

      The ref farted, penalty storm!

    I saw it.  The head slam wasn't anything serious and he then forearmed/elbowed the player to the face when he was on the ground.  If he doesn't have any carry over points he may get a fine.

    Yep. He'll be playing next week from what I saw. Can't believe Perenara got a decision wrong.!

    Fair enough. Can we also assume it'd be 4 weeks on the sidelines if it was Kenny Edwards or Manu Mau?
    Jenko was charged last week for a trip that wasn't penalised and I don't think mentioned by any of the commentators. I didn't see anything during the game.

      Correct. The NRL has many standards. It blows.

    If he gets anything for that then this game we call rugby league is ruined. Nothing wrong in the tackle except he smashed him, sorry but it's a tough sport and there's a reason we talk about it and they play it.

    He was enraged from a few tackles previous.... intent was there... the elbow on the ground should be enough for a suspension... real possibility of Burgess having 3 charges against him. Musgrove will also get charged and should cop a week given manu did for a far lesser contact in his shoulder charge. Reynolds injured too. Bigger loss than Burgess.

    Just on NRL website - only faces a fine. Zane Musgrove facing suspension (Souths prop).
