Burgess' Squirrel Grip

[Porthoz]

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.

Oh come on, you can't be serious... 2 weeks seems fair enough?

He should get the sack!

He said on Twitter to Joel Romelo it was bad enough to make him want to vomit. I doubt anyone would milk that sort of penalty. Of course could just be keeping the charade going to make the suspension justified, but I reckon he's telling the truth

Actually, I believe he should have been banned for around 10-16 weeks. I'm totally fair dinkum too. It's a weak cowardly act from a bloke who is actually pretty tough. What should be considered is the damage possible and the enormous lifelong consequences of that damage should it occur. It has no place in the game and in any public place constitutes serious sexual assault. The difference is beyond me. I cannot think of any place such behaviour is acceptable.

Sharks captain Paul Gallen, doesn't mind giving it a go ......

Yeah...no matter who does it. Dog act at any time.

I packed down in the scrum a couple of times at hooker, one guy got with that move, made me almost pass out. I thought I was kicked there it hurt that much!

Five weeks, 1 for each grade (it should be a grade 5).

I think he got a handful of sac.

I think he got a handful of sac.

...did not.

Typical souffs behaviour

Doesn't look as bad as the "kick" or the push to the head.

 

[Charmamba]

Can't stand Sam Burgess, bloke is a grub.

 

[hidethesuspect]

I love Maloney's reaction. He's like, who the frig was that? Oh Sam, ummm, nah I won't be starting a fight with him. You could tell that it wasn't an accident by Sam by Maloney's reaction, filthy player indeed.

 

[Old Mate]

Maloneys no saint himself, throwing players boots to the crowd.

 

[theshed]

I think Sam is an awesome player but he does need to get some of this grubby stuff out of his game. THe "kick" and head push, I don't mind so much. JWH lifted his elbow at a defender and if I wasn't so scared of him I probably would've reacted the same.

As for the nut grab, I don't know about you guys but this happens half a dozen time a game in the comp I used to play in. Its pretty standard but I guess most NRL players are either more subtle about it or dont do it at all due to the cameras.

 

[Coxy]

Look at his trailer trash mum? It's no wonder he's a grub.

 

[jarro65]

He doesn't need that shit in his game.....and hopefully this little 'phase' in his game will disappear rather soon.

I'd like to see him play in the finals instead of sit on the sidelines.

 

[Coxy]

I think he's gone to the Paul Gallen School of Being Tough.
