Certainly sick of hearing his name, although hardly his fault so I don't hold it against him. Crowe is going to need to use all of his sway to stop him spending every 4th week suspended though.
Having said that, the NRL have already turned a blind eye to $800k+ worth of payments to burgess to get him here so perhaps they'll go lightly on him with at the judiciary too
A late hit on Prince.
An altercation with Ferguson in the second quater.
Don't get me wrong here, he isn't of the standard of say a Paul Gallen. But, I can certainly see how Shorty came up with that assessment.
How f**kING soft are you???????
He hit Preston very hard in a LEGAL tackle and Blake had a cry about it and pushed Burgess who replied with some verbal and moved away.
Preston didnt seem to cry about it...it was a legit front on tackle and Preston paid the price for weighing less than 80kg. If you run into props, thats what can happen!!!
FMD this is LEAGUE, not f**king oztag!!!!!!!!!!
This game is becoming soft with fans like you!!!!!
As for Shorty, well, less said about her the better....she wants to turn our great game into touch football.
Why would Fergurson carry like a girl aftr Preston got hit hard in alegal tackle and push Burgess which quite easily could have started something more serious?
Burgess did nothing wrong in the all star game whatsoever and i am not a souths lover at all....i just dont like blatant lies.
Except knock on, throw some bad offloads, give away a stupid penalty for attacking the legs of the kicker and the cheap play the ball ruckus with Ferguson. That's going from memory.
To be fair, the pros severely far out-weigh the cons.
What the????????
what has knock ons and bad offloads have to do with his character? You are lost!
How many times do i have to explain it to you?
The play the ball ruckus was ALL Fergurson who as i said took exception to Preston being tackled hard but legally in a sensational front on tackle. Fergo was the one that pushed Sam first and Sam didnt go on with it when he could have easily smacked that tosser in the head.
The next play again had nothing it in. This is a mans game, not marbles in the school yard.
And i didnt think i needed to explain myself re "he didnt do anything wrong" when this was all about his character. Every player in the game made schoolboy errors but that was to be expected.
Well to the polls, we now have some idiot in another thread asking if his the best forward in the NRL in a poll and he hasn't even played a game.
I am not bagging him out there's no doubt his a great prospect but his proven ZERO in the NRL, nor am I bagging out South's ect generally good folk with a passion for the game.
But I cannot take anymore Burgess!
Burgess is one of the fairest players around. In fact he spent his first two years at Bradford combining playing with being a full-time carer for his dad, who died from motor neurone disease in 2007, and looking after his younger brothers Tom and George who were 14 at the time. He's never been sent off or suspended, or even cautioned AFAIK. He even saved a guy's life while watching a trial game a couple of years ago. I can't believe some Aussie merkin is calling him a thug :lol:
