Burgess eye gouge

[Exsilium]

Robbie Farah didn’t even see it coming...

I can't see him playing NRL for Souths again to be honest. He'll get 8 weeks and deserves every one of them. Then he'll finish up his contract in reserve grade.

You need him in the later part of the season. Unless you want plebs like Kyle Turner losing games again...

20 years ago he would have been punched out AND sent off for that. What a joke this game has become.

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

an eye for an eye mate......

Eye gouging and other vicious illegal actions are part of the Burgess family culture. It would be better for everyone if the three Burgess boys would just pack up their belongings and head back to Dewsbury where maybe such behaviour is tolerated. We don't need people like them in Australia. At least Canberra has acquired a better class of Englishman. Josh Hodgson and Elliot Whitehead are real gentlemen.

Are we sure it was an intentional eye gouge?

We’ve all seen his ball handling skills he might have been trying to give Robbie a prostate exam.

 

[Incorrect]

Steve Linnane copped 20 weeks for his gouge on Greg Alexander. I don't think we saw another eye gouge in the game for the next 20 odd years or until wannabe hardmen like Josh McGuire and Gurgess started bringing it back in to vogue. Burgess should be rubbed out for the season at the very least IMO.

Let's see how Toddy handles this one...

f**ken grubs all 3 of them. Diving, eye gouging, dick grabbing filthy f**ken grubs. The twins are lucky Sam can play otherwise they’d be back in England.

Need to wait until next Wednesday nights training.
The girls touch footy team have a bye this weekend.

 

[The unknown]

That has gotta be in the top 3 grubbiest things I've seen on the footy field, has to go on a long holiday or the NRL is a joke

 

[Meth]

6-8 weeks and I doubt we'll see him back in first grade.

Good riddance.

 

[Dave's mate]

The Tigpies forwards are the real disgrace here. I know its Wobbie so the team probably hates him but 4 or 5 of them should have been straight on George. What cowards

Toddy's rummaging through his garage to find the safety glasses, for the eye-balling Burgess is going to receive.

Leading to 4-5 sin bins.

Dumb thing to do.

Just no need for it.

Now costs his team.

Let’s think about this logically.

Hudson Young got a grade 3 dangerous contact (eye) charge. This was a lot worse, so at least a grade 4.

That’s a base of 700 points. Gurgess has one eye gouge and 3 other charges (for the benefit of the doubt we’ll say they’re non-similar) on his rap sheet, adding 350+140+140+140 points. This is another 770 points.

I don’t know how many carryover points he has, but it’s probably more than 30, which puts this at over 1500, or a 15 week holiday. With an early guilty plea, that’s 1125 points.

Any less than that and the NRL is kidding themselves.
