Burgess' Squirrel Grip

[Big Pete]

So this story has blown up a bit in the past couple of days.

Rabbitohs' Sam Burgess to miss two matches after 'squirrel grip' | Sport | theguardian.com

Was a Grade 1 Contrary Conduct charge sufficient?

 

[Ghibli]

How many grades are there?

 

[jarro65]

No way !!

Absolute grub act, and should have at least got a grade 2 (IMO)

The NRL need to come down hard on acts like these and set an example.

 

[Big Pete]

5, Ghibli.

 

[Coxy]

NRL really doesn't have the balls to crack down on this

 

[Harry Sack]

Fair play IMO, he was just going for the ball.......

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Grade 1? That's nuts ....

 

[Harry Sack]

On field penalty sufficient imo, for having his hand all over the ball.....

 

[Harry Sack]

I think he's quite lucky to only get 2 weeks and I think the only thing that saved him is the fact the Chambers made no complaint about it.

Good to see Burgess apologised to his team mates......now try calling the guy with the squished plums.

 

[ningnangnong]

I don't even understand why you would want to do something like that?

 

[Mr Fourex]

Soap dodgers .......you gotta watch 'em.

 

[Broncoman]

Should be suspended for interfering with opponents

 

[Nashy]

He should be banned for a couple of weeks, and forced to have his player of choice kick him square in the nuts. **** him.

He didn't even buy the bloke brekky.

 

[Fozz]

Now show the referee where the bad man touched you.

 

[Kimlo]

IMO the NRL have ballsed up on this one, should have been rubbed out for longer.

 

[Twiztid]

I don't know if they could prove any more. Yes his hand is on the area. At the end of the footage it shows that he has the shorts in a wedgie type position. So he either firstly squeezed or just placed his hand there and then does the wedgie motion which may have pinched them. So it comes back to was Chambers reaction genuine or put on trying to milk a penalty?

2 weeks seems fair enough.

 

[Nashy]

You only really need to brush the stupid things to be in pain.
