One week suspension is an appropriate punishment

 

[globaleagle]

They wont do anything to Sam before the Manly game, I mean they wont suspend him.

It's funny when players say "I won't change my ways"

So, that means you are going to continue pulling hair does it Sam and then be surprised when you get suspended?

Genius effort that one.

I'm sure England is calling you, go home.

Negative press on Sam Burgess just before a finals game...could it get any better

Turdy might fck up Sambo's mind for us this week by fining him

All the pressure is on them, zero on us.

The ultimate “ under the radar”.

Sam Burgess has been summoned to a meeting with Todd Greenberg to show cause why he shouldn’t receive a breach notice for his comments today. Also gives him chance to speak to Todd in person about his concerns

 

[MissKate]

Oh dear, don’t like the idea of samantha getting into greenturd’s ear right before our game. With the stuff samantha has got away with until now, punishment is unlikely

THE National Rugby League has today advised South Sydney Rabbitohs player Sam Burgess that he must show cause why he should not be issued with a breach notice over public comments made about the judiciary process.

All players are bound by the NRL Code of Conduct which prohibits a player from commenting adversely on the NRL Judiciary.

Mr Burgess has agreed to meet NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg to explain his comments and why he should not be issued with a breach notice.

Mr Greenberg said the NRL Judiciary was an independent body chaired by a distinguished Supreme Court Judge.

“On face value, Sam’s comments about the judiciary breach our Code of Conduct and are offensive to both the Chairman and members of the panel who carry out their duties impartially, without fear or favour,’’ he said.

I love the fact that they're distracting Sambo and with his level of self control this would be eating away at him

Best scenario is that the meeting gets fiery - Sam decks Turd and he cops a one game suspension

Todd Greenberg threatened Burgess with a $25k fine and a law suit. Big Sam didn’t flinch

The most fearless forward in rugby league, Sam Burgess, and the boss of the NRL, Todd Greenberg, are officially at war.

Greenberg picked up the telephone on Wednesday afternoon and called the South Sydney captain for a please explain about labelling the NRL judiciary a “kangaroo court”.

The NRL CEO began the conversation by reading Burgess the definition of “kangaroo court”, which states: “An unofficial court held by a group of people in order to try someone regarded, especially without good evidence, as guilty of a crime or misdemeanour.”

Greenberg then explained Burgess had insulted the integrity of supreme court judge Geoff Bellew, who also serves as the NRL judiciary chairman free of charge.

So Burgess has to issue a public apology or he risks being sued for defamation.

The NRL are also threatening to hit Burgess with a breach notice of $25,000 for breaching the players’ code of conduct.

Deck him Sam, go in and absolutely whack the prick, you’d become a national hero for doing it!!
