Sam Burgess

Burgess is alleged to have been involved in an incident with the father of his estranged wife at Glenquarry, east of Bowral.

According to a NSW Police statement: "About 4pm on Saturday 19 October 2019, police were called to an address at Glenquarry, in relation to a domestic dispute. 

"Police from The Hume Police District attended and an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order was applied for on behalf of a 63-year-old man. Following further inquiries, on Wednesday 30 October 2019, a 30-year-old man was charged with the offence of Intimidation (DV related). 

Sam Burgess was hit with a Grade 2 careless high tackle charge following an incident involving Aidan Sezer in the 59th minute of Saturday's match.

He chose to take the early guilty plea, which now means he will miss the next two matches.

George Burgess was handed a Grade 1 careless high tackle charge following a tackle on Raiders forward. By taking the early guilty plea, George will be fined $1550 but will be free to take on the Broncos on Thursday night.

Burgess was cited for dangerous contact – head/neck (grade one) for a 57th minute incident in which he appeared to raise a forearm as he carried the ball into a Josh Morris tackle.

In the aftermath of a heated Good Friday of NRL action, Chambers and Burgess were both charged with dangerous contract by the match review committee.

Chambers was cited for a grapple tackle on Paul Gallen at the conclusion of Cronulla’s upset win over the premiers.

It will only heighten tensions between Chambers and Gallen after the Storm outside back last year sledged the Cronulla skipper as a “drug cheat”.

The Queensland and Australian three-quarter was hit with a grade two offence and is facing a fortnight on the sidelines even with an early guilty plea.

South Sydney Rabbitohs star Burgess was forced off in the first half of England's 18-4 loss to holders and co-hosts Australia in Melbourne on Friday.

It was feared the 28-year-old would be ruled out for the remainder of the tournament.

But Burgess has now been examined by a knee specialist, prompting England's medical staff to forecast his return to the playing squad "earlier than anticipated". 

On that occasion, Burgess was taken off after 31 minutes, passed his HIA check and started the second half in a tight 24-18 win.

On Thursday, Burgess reeled out of a collision with Roosters back-rower Isaac Liu in which the Rabbitohs lock – while attempting to tackle Liu – collected the Rooster's shoulder on his jaw.

The 27-year-old South Sydney forward will return to the England team - following a three-year absence - as captain for the Four Nations Series and says he will be better for his experience in the 15-man game.

And journalist Phoebe Burgess (née Hooke) still appeared in the holiday mood as she enjoyed a sunny stroll in Bondi Beach with her new husband Sam.

The 26-year-old beauty put on a leggy display in a long denim skirt with a side split as she took a walk with the NRL hunk, 27, before settling down for breakfast on Thursday.

The former Sunrise producer looked beach ready in a simple, V-neck grey shirt and black-and-white sandals.

Phoebe also accessorised with a silver watch and wore her luscious blonde looks loosely and in a middle parting.

In his first game of rugby league since the 2014 Grand Final Burgess was the focal point – whether he liked it or not – in a pre-season trial that saw the Rabbitohs hold off a gallant Titans team 22-20 in Burleigh on Saturday night.

He played 60 minutes, scored a try, hit hard and passed more before the line than perhaps ever before in his career in the 13-man game and most importantly got through with burning lungs as his only injury concern.

The Rabbitohs announced the news on Sunday along with the news of contract extensions for young players Angus Crichton and Hymel Hunt.

Former Australian Schoolboys representative Crichton, 19, will join the Rabbitohs' full-time squad next season and has signed a deal keeping him at the club until 2018.

Outside back Hunt, 22, joins Souths from Melbourne on a one-year deal.

"We're pleased to be adding Hymel to our squad and to be extending the contract of young Angus as well," Rabbitohs coach Michael Maguire said.
