Sam Burgess head slam

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).
