South Sydney enforcer Sam Burgess faces another stint on the NRL sidelines as his discipline again comes into question.
In what was his first game back from a two-week suspension, Burgess was lucky not to be sin-binned for a high shot on Aidan Sezer in Saturday’s 42-22 rout of Canberra on Saturday.
Burgess was put on report after collecting the Raiders playmaker around the chin, setting off an all-in melee at Central Coast Stadium.
The Raiders were miffed after their skipper Jarrod Croker was sin-binned for holding back Angus Crichton while Burgess stayed on the field.
Croker subsequently compared Burgess’ shot to an incident for which teammate Sia Soliola was suspended for collaring Billy Slater last year.
“It wasn’t pretty was it,” Croker said.
