George Burgess

[Dragon David]

That certainly places a different complexion on matters . I am not suggesting any guilt on his part , but the term ‘ indecent assault ‘ sounds - at least to me - so much worse.

Same here. Meanwhile, Hook has cut George from the team as he doesn't want this matter to distract the other guys.

Distractions!! When will it all end?

Who knows D.D. ? This has the potential to derail the Dragons entire season , I realize that George has only played lest than a game at this point , this will impact the team immensely .

I'm sure that a lot of the "original" players from last year were looking forward to playing alongside the new recruits for most of the games this year. Unfortunately with the loss of Woods (injured) and Burgess (subject to trial) and the suspensions of Moose and Fui, our depth has dwindled somewhat. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise to have some players missing earlier rather than later in the season, but nonetheless, we do have several new recruits playing tonight, so I wish them all the best and may the luckiest team win.

Decision on Burgess’ Dragons future expected “by the end of the weekend”

“We’ll have a decision if George Burgess will be right to play.”

I am sure NRL they have everything they needed when police rang on Monday with what can be made available info legally in confidence. How long does it take to talk to George and form your conclusions and penalty if you deem fit. NRL are not judge and jury.

yes, and while it pains me to say it, I think we missed Macca's defence in the middle against Cronulla.

Cue the 50-50 calls going the other teams way

No need to cue it? It’s already been happening for 3 weeks

Good news on George. We need our two big boppers with Woods back too.

Throwing a bone out to us; I suspect the NRL know that the on field and then MRC shocking soft decision on AS weighed against the contra harsh and unwarranted binning and grading of Sua indefensible.

Reading reports and Annesely apparent comments about ‘different opinions, autonomy of MRC seemingly to do as it likes, judgements ( guesses? ) on tackle force, pressure on the refs in split decision’ blah blah blah demonstrates the loathsome banning of Sua for the big game against Eels was a disgrace. May have had something to do with Burgess situation. Doesn’t the seeming admission that the MRC can do as it likes without interference or NRL oversight shows the tremendous power this small group apparently lead by one person for final say on matters has on who makes the semis?
