It's in the history books now.

He is officially a squirrel gripper.

Sam Burgess will miss two NRL matches after the South Sydney star pleaded guilty to a contrary contact charge for an alleged "squirrel grip" tackle.
The England international on Tuesday opted to take the early plea for the grade-one charge arising from an incident on Melbourne centre Will Chambers in Friday's loss to the Storm at AAMI Park.
In making a tackle, the imposing forward appeared to place his hands between the legs of Chambers, who remained prostrate on the ground afterwards.
Burgess' loading from four prior offences means he will miss two blockbuster home games for the Rabbitohs, against third-placed Manly on Friday and fifth-placed Canterbury the following week.
If Burgess fought the charge and lost, he still would have missed both fixtures.
The loss of the 24-year-old is a huge blow for the Rabbitohs, who've lost three of their last four matches to slip off the top of the ladder.

So he takes the early guilty plea.

I await the souths fans trying to defend him and their reaction to him taking the plea......

Then youre a f**king idiot. Just like BunniesTard. If you cant see the handful of Chambers junk that Burgess grabs then you must have a disability. Like BunniesTurd.
Funny that the match review committee disagrees. Are they *insert your profane language here* idiots too? It's alleged that he 'pinched' rather than 'grab a handful'. I agree it looks like it was a pinch around the shorts area and is a pretty low act. But don't go saying it was full-blown grip when there is no evidence to suggest it was and wasn't charged as such. You assume all souths supporters are defending him so automatically resort to name calling. Grow up.

He took the guilty plea. He basically admitted he did it. Good luck with whatever your dribbling on about though

Yep. Taking the guilty plea is admitting intent. Very disappointed in his actions.

Not too smart Sam when your club is under the pump a bit with 2 of your best already out.

I think he's counting his lucky stars it was only a grade 1.

Should have been considerably longer IMO. Plain disgusting and an awful look for the game.

Clearly haven't read my post. What he was charged with and pleaded guilty to is different to what youve alleged which is a grope. And just to re-iterate I thought it was a low act and have never defended it.

Burgo's squirrel grip.
Gal opening up someone's stiches.
Matt Prior's cheap shot on JT.
Hodgo jumping on an injured BMoz.
Graham biting Slater's ear.

They're all dog acts.

souffs fans need to shut the f**k up and take their medicine.

You guys are in the Top 4, relax :lol:

There's something very wrong with the Burgess boys. There's simply no need to put your hand in that area unless you and the other party are into it. I hope he tries it on Kasiano and he just reverses and sits on him. Wanker.

Sam burgess is a grub. He should have received at least 16 weeks. John hopoate and Burgess are two of a kind. Again, it's the NRL looking after their golden child. A grade one for that ? Bullshit.
How much longer do fans have to put up with the obvious favouritism towards Souths? Until they gift them a premiership ?
It's the feel good story, the underdog, the shitiest team in 4 decades wins the premiership. Well , if its on football skill alone, Souths will fail miserably. They are experts at it. The years 2000 and 2001, were the two most enjoyable years in rugby league history.

I can smell the stench of desperation reeking from Redfern - how can Sutton be fully fit after that injury? He has been out for just a week ffs - Souths are feeling the heat from Manly and Melb and dont like it one bit.Talk about player welfare coming first out Redfern way - he could roll out in Gosford in a wheelchair!
