All players are bound by the NRL Code of Conduct which prohibits a player from commenting adversely on the NRL Judiciary.
Mr Greenberg said the NRL Judiciary was an independent body chaired by a distinguished Supreme Court Judge. “We take a pragmatic view about most of the debate that occurs around the game. However, the NRL Judiciary is a longstanding and independent process based on the principles of natural justice in our court system.
Mr Greenberg said all players have the opportunity to discuss issues about the game privately with the NRL at any point.
SSFCRABBITOHS Never bite the hand that feeds you
SSFCRABBITOHS Awwww come on!! Maybe Todd_Greenberg could do him a reference like he did for GI? It's a Bunnies only privilege yeah? Surely Todd knows Sammy...
SSFCRABBITOHS Yeah what a joke. So journalists can be on a show and rubbish the NRL, match review conmittee and judiciary and that is ok but a player can’t. On one show they were saying let Phil Gould run the NRL- please!!! They all should be fined if Sam is! doublestandards
SSFCRABBITOHS Hey Todd_Greenberg have a read of the majority of comments on this thread. Most people are backing burgess and his comments. The fans are fed up with the judiciary, how can someone get suspended for pulling hair but not for eye gouging!!!!
SSFCRABBITOHS And again.. before another final.. Sounds like.. This thing called .. 'WORKPLACE BULLYING' Maybe Sam Burgess should file a counter suit.. I mean.. This is his job is it not? .. Just sayin sstid
SSFCRABBITOHS Load of crap no one is above criticism or scrutiny! Get over it NRL
SSFCRABBITOHS If Bellew is offended it should be by the way he has allowed the Judiciary System to be so outrageously manipulated. Since the decision, to allow Slater to play the GF they have absolutely no credibility and have continued on that path throughout 2019. Somebody has to stop them!
SSFCRABBITOHS Make him miss another final that will make the mouthy twonk pull his oversized head in
SSFCRABBITOHS Would seem big Sam has touched a nerve at HQ, Paul Kent is bang on when saying by this action it proves Sam's point exactly. Despite the NRL HQ led by Greenberg the game on the field continues to deliver.
SSFCRABBITOHS When u read what he said in a dispassionate way, it comes across as a sensible and reasonable (to me) critique and he is saying the process needs to be more transparent. I 12000 miles away have been baffled by the decisions this year so isn’t he entitled to say the same
SSFCRABBITOHS The NRL needs to show cause why they shouldn’t all be fired and face legal action by fans for failing to competently administer the game of Rugby League that WE own and fund!
SSFCRABBITOHS NRL doesn’t like Free Speech
SSFCRABBITOHS Bloke talking a whole lot of sense. If the judicial system not looked at in the off season you lot a silly.
SSFCRABBITOHS 🙄🙄 truth hurts I guess!! SamBurgess8 nailed it with what he said... literally what all us fans are thinking also!! Thank god someone with an actual voice said something about the farcical Judiciary. Reckon fans would gladly help pay any fine. More voices need be heard on it.
SSFCRABBITOHS give them the finger Sam
SSFCRABBITOHS Burgess witch hunt is on again...grab the pitchforks.
SSFCRABBITOHS What a dropkick u are Greenburg !😡
SSFCRABBITOHS Sorry Sam next use some manners🐇🐰🏉🏈
SSFCRABBITOHS Good move by the NRL. The media are presenting Sam's comments as fact which undermines the standing of the game. Any judicial system is extremely complicated and if public was fully aware of the NRL rules and regulations they would understand why Sam's comments are out of line.
SSFCRABBITOHS You can't serve someone a shit sandwich then complain when they call it a shit sandwich.
SSFCRABBITOHS Sam saying what we are all thinking. The Judiciary keeps up with their absolute nonsense then you'll lose the fans like you'll lose the players.
SSFCRABBITOHS Tells it like it is he miss a game for hair pull and hargrevies gets to play for knocking someone out shoulder to the head tackle
SSFCRABBITOHS The judiciary is a farce. Take it as feedback. Your system is fkn broken you turkeys.
SSFCRABBITOHS The judiciary are lacking on so many levels. No Jim Comans in this mob.
SSFCRABBITOHS If it was Cam Smith the NRL would kiss his ass and invite him to dinner to apologise.. The NRL are pathetic and corrupt, just watch them make sure the Storm win the comp. Todd_Greenberg Todd is the most pathetic and corrupt grub to ever run the league, the refs are pathetic..
SSFCRABBITOHS Are we in North Korea?
SSFCRABBITOHS NRL✊💦
SSFCRABBITOHS Why should he? He’s voiced what everyone thinks
To his credit James Graham also recently raised concerns about the judiciary process. If it was Cameron Smith making the same point, you wouldn't have a problem with it but then again why would he have a problem with the system when all you ever do is send him warning letters.
SSFCRABBITOHS Cos he’s right
SSFCRABBITOHS Who is Todd Greenberg accountable to? Clearly not the paying public.
SSFCRABBITOHS The match review process, charges and judiciary need an overhaul. Especially the chairman lawyer Bellew who doesn’t have a clue.
SSFCRABBITOHS Good. Players do need to be suspended for repeat offenses, finals or not. Otherwise it would open the door to grubs doing thing to try and start a fight and draw a penalty knowing they would only get fined
SSFCRABBITOHS Burgess is saying what the fans feel. Sorry Greenberg but the truth hurts. Be a man and listen, rather than closing your ears. Last i heard, we live in a free country.
SSFCRABBITOHS That’s all Todd Greenberg is good for. Standing up for the mess he has created
SSFCRABBITOHS This game is fu$&ed cause of all the do good pencil pushers that have never played the game! NRL flogs
SSFCRABBITOHS Good onya sam,the NRL management are pc clowns. True Australians have a sense of humour, larrikin Australian attitude.
SSFCRABBITOHS Souths should be backing SamBurgess8 to the hilt on this. Everyone should be held to account. The NRL is becoming as soft as butter.
SSFCRABBITOHS It’s ok for everyone else to say it but not Sam. What he said is true and we the fans are fed up with the inconsistency of the judiciary. you are losing fans everyday because of all the inconsistency’s, it is a kangaroo court. WAKE UP before you kill the game altogether
SSFCRABBITOHS It’s not his fault. He & Souffs have been protectd species for so long they think they can do & say what they like. Classic eg. of their culture is they complained about Tatevano & Cordner after they beat us where Cordner went on record supporting Burgess after the hair pull.
SSFCRABBITOHS Only speaking the truth!!!! That’s one of the Problems with the IT LIVES IN A DIFFERENT SPACE TO EVERYONE ELSE!!!
SSFCRABBITOHS you’ve lost touch with your supporters...
SSFCRABBITOHS Your thoughts KnightkingYCBM 😆😆😆😆 Slammin Sam keep ya mouth shut you got a game on Friday
SSFCRABBITOHS Maybe should fine themselves for such a poor showing from the judiciary this year. has ruined and tarnished the game with poor refereeing standards and judicial farce than any off field incident this year....
SSFCRABBITOHS Todd_Greenberg NRL fans, you know, the grassroots supporters who follow the game, ask that you need to show cause why you should keep your job.
SSFCRABBITOHS If this was a lesser known player would this even be an issue. I tell ya right now no there would be no issue. But because it's Sam ohhh quick I better look like I'm doin somthin.
SSFCRABBITOHS This is honestly the type of thing that can lead star players to walk away from the game entirely. Suspend him again, this time for dissent, and I wouldn't blame him for simply retiring and going into media and then ripping on the NRL non-stop with no downside.
SSFCRABBITOHS Truth hurts once again knee jerk reaction. Start listenin to the fans former players n players. The match review committee is the most inconsistent identity enough is enough.
SSFCRABBITOHS He’s right
SSFCRABBITOHS What does this mean for Sam surely he is allowed to air an opinion
SSFCRABBITOHS Omg Todd_Greenberg what about the media for continually goading him another sabotage job like last year... here we go again
SSFCRABBITOHS The nrl can go screw themselves.
SSFCRABBITOHS Just a joke surely Todd_Greenberg
SSFCRABBITOHS Maybe the should give themselves a breach notice for the judiciary process this year. Sam’s comments aren’t far off the mark as most people can’t fathom the way the reviews have been handled this year. Maybe they could give the public a “ please explain” as well justsaying
SSFCRABBITOHS Another reason to make sure he is reported, sin binned and probably suspended against Manly. Made himself a bigger target now 🙄 SSTID GoRabbitohs ❤️💚❤️💚
SSFCRABBITOHS Suspend him don’t fine him
SSFCRABBITOHS Show cause for telling the truth. OMFG. Get real. Fix what you have stuffed up. Stop blaming people like Sam for pointing out how bad you run the game. Todd_Greenberg does stuff all but Sam answers a question and gets crucified. You muppets are fools.
SSFCRABBITOHS Will Gallen, Marshall and James Graham also be getting notices for the breach... they were all on Fox NRL commenting on the Judiciary and it’s bloody stupidity banning a bloke for pulling hair and tripping but letting of head high tackles for being ‘too slick in movement’.
SSFCRABBITOHS If a coach made comments like that he would be fined $10K as a minimum
SSFCRABBITOHS Gus gould gus gould
SSFCRABBITOHS No defending Sam but surely players can speak up about obression
SSFCRABBITOHS Good. If this idiot didn’t do stupid things every second week, he wouldn’t be in a position to be suspended. His idea of just paying extra fines does nothing to deter players. They’ll risk illegal acts because they can just afford to pay a fine.
SSFCRABBITOHS There is a wider discussion here, for sure. Sam hasn't gone about it the right way but what he is saying has weight. It would be good to listen to the players if they feel frustrated - they are an important stakeholder.
SSFCRABBITOHS Ban him for this week game
SSFCRABBITOHS You’ve lost the plot . - Kent
SSFCRABBITOHS 😂😂
SSFCRABBITOHS It’s about time the NRL did something about this idiot. It’s typical Souths and typical Burgess thinking they run the game.
SSFCRABBITOHS Grubby grub has to sit out front of the principals office.....sucked in sooky grub.
SSFCRABBITOHS FEED HIM
SSFCRABBITOHS Maybe he should just say the truth hurts.. stupidgame
SSFCRABBITOHS Absolute grub of the game long prior list of dirty offences.
