For 3 NRL rounds in a row Sam Burgess did 3 blatant shoulder charges. Yet while all around players were being automatically suspended for such an act, even if the charge was dubious at best, all he got was a letter of warning not to be a naughty boy in the future. Which to me is a complete load of BS considering that the DCE shoulder charge came before the Pacific Tests, and the third one against the Tigpies came a few days after the test and he still received no punishment from the NRL.
Kinda sounds like Greenturd sending a letter to the courts in defence of a drink driver ... who happened to be playing for the same club.
Remind me again which two players last year were allowed to retire and be medically retired while their club could wipe their contracts off the salary cap.....the complete bias and seemingly outright favouritism shown by the current NRL administration to certain clubs and players is very disturbing. Very disturbing indeed.
