Burgess eye gouge

[I Bleed Maroon]

He's gotta see some serious time off for that. That is just not on. A player shouldn't have to worry about some grubby f**kwit trying to blind them in the act of playing.

I suspect Burgess would be fine, if he had an Origin game to play next week.

 

[Iafeta]

He won’t be suspended. Josh Maguire does it consistently and all is good. He will cop a $300 fine.

 

[Iafeta]

Just saw the replay again. How on earth was he not ordered off straight away I will never know. But the Maguire nonsense has stupefied the league tremendously.

How f**king geniused is George Burgess? No attempt whatsoever to conceal an intentional grub act.

That's the most blatant eye gouge I've seen in a while and deserves a lengthy ban.

 

[Spot On]

No doubt the NRL will come down effing hard on this!

See Josh McGuire for proof.

Oh wait.

There's no way the NRL will let this go.

That's the worst one so far and leaves the viewer with no doubt as to what his intentions were.

He’s a rep player, so he might get the rep player treatment, unless it’s restricted to Australian rep players.

Should get 8 weeks, 2 more than what Maguire should have got for each gouge.

Not an Origin Candidate 87 weeks

Rep player, he’ll get the lesser charge.
Poor old Hudson Young is a young bloke just breaking into grade, the perfect opportunity for the NRL to come down hard.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

This falls into gross misconduct territory for mine. The intentional and blatant attempt to injure an opponent in a vulnerable position.

Poor old Hudson Young is a young bloke just breaking into grade, the perfect opportunity for the NRL to come down hard.

If he gets less than Hudson Young got (5 weeks with the early plea) it will be an absolute horseshit decision and a complete disgrace to the NRL.

Lol, you know who you’re talking about right?
Two combined charges for Maguire got 5 weeks less than Young’s 5 weeks.

The video in the OP wouldn't play for me, so here's another copy.

 

[Headless Chook]

Well that didn’t take long

 

[Charlie124]

This one is so much worse than McGuire's its not even close. Burgess can expect a long ban.

 

[Zadar]

Has there been a grubbier family to disgrace the league?

They couldn’t play for a more suited team.

 

[Perth Red]

Id have been happy with a send off but should at least have been a sin bin. Sometimes I really dont understand our game!

 

[Pete Cash]

Remember when Sammy was crying about Hudson Young after he was charged putting pressure on the judiciary to come down on him. What a merkin of a family.
