Thought this warranted a thread of its own!!
Absolute shocker of a forearm from Burgess.
Cant believe it wasn't picked up. The little grub!!

He really doesnt like being picked up and carried towards touch. He cried like a baby when it happened last month and I noticed the first time he got the ball last night he was unceremoniously carried about 20 yards towards touch.

Don't like Burgess. Just something about him. Can't quite put my finger on it.....

A few times he struck out. Uncalled for

Should've got a red. Sky cut the footage conveniently. Always liked budgie but seems like he's spat his dummy out lately.

He burned some bridges at Salford caused friction among the players

Let's call it what it is ... he's never forgiven Wigan for becoming irritated with his off-field antics. And then for going on and winning a raft of silverware while he spends his time collecting loser's medals.

The guys' a prat. It's as simple as that.

Couldn't have put it any better myself!

Must say I was surprised he did that to Nsemba,was def a 10mins if not red. Lewis also 10 mins as it has been all season.
Still HKR have MOS and Coach of the year,if only they had trophy or 4 to go with them.

It was Disgusting cowardly it on an unconscious prone individual.

Obviously not in the same league as Ben Flower, but still similar on principal.

The fact that Sky sports purposely did not show the replay and cut it off, was appalling in my opinion. (I was at a wedding, unfortunately so could not attend)

In fact. It was bent as a 9 bob note. Purposely trying to influence the course of the game

I’d agree with all of that - cynical and cowardly, and the gutless officiating because of the occasion.

As a RL fan of many years, I’ve learned to make a distinction between the way a player conducts himself on and off the field.

But in the case of Burgess, he’s completely consistent - a w***er both when he’s wearing a jersey and when he isn’t. Very glad he’s no longer at our club.

The environment seems so different at the club now to the one in the days of the likes of Burgess and Williams. There was that group of 5 mates (Burgess, Gildart, Sutton, Bateman and Williams) who just seemed to think of Wigan as a stepping stone to bigger and better things and that is unsettling (as well as ridiculous). It's been a positive in seeing that sort of mindset leave the club and to now have a group of players who seem to be fully aware that pulling on that shirt is a privilege not to be taken for granted.

It's very rare that leaving Wigan for any club is a step up.

Bloody spot on.

Makes me laugh how sky posted th clip on twitter and edited out the attack on the ground, ridiculous

Be interesting to see what the MRP make of it tomorrow, players have got hefty bans for trying to lift a player who's down. Giving someone a smack to the head you'd think should get the same.
