I might have to do a u-turn on this Burges fella.
He swears, on his childrens lives, that he didn't know his finger was in his eye.

And then this ripper from the GM. Sound like a fecking eulogy.
South Sydney general manager Shane Richardson has described the eye gouge which saw George Burgess land a nine-game ban as a “tragedy”, while defending the prop as a “good dad.”
“It’s a tragedy for George and his family — the whole situation that’s come up,” said Richardson.
“I want to say this, though, George is a loving father, a brother and a son.
“At South Sydney he’s been nothing but an ornament all the way through, I don’t think this should ever define what George Burgess is about in any way, shape or form.
“It’s an unfortunate incident which he pleaded guilty to tonight, but it will not define his career. He’s nothing but a quality human being.”
And the NRL councel.
That was in direct conflict with the view of NRL counsel Peter McGrath.
In his closing summary before the judiciary, McGrath said: “It was deliberate and intentional and there needs to be an appropriate penalty.
“I accept there are legitimate injuries playing the game of rugby league but fingers in eye sockets runs the risk of suck serious injury.
“The game regards this with complete disgust.
“There’s a pattern of deliberate behaviour and the penalty needs to reflect a lesson for him and a lesson for everyone who plays the game.”
A fucking tragedy.
A tsunami hitting a densely populated coast is a tragedy.
Yes, crap history will provide allot of examples. Good of you to remember,
But remember this.
You own the latest, and its a doozy!
Swears on his children..............!
