Agreed, piss weak sentence for a serious offence. it's not like he just slapped her arse, his actions were as serious as they can be for that kind of offence.
His saving grace was that his legal team had brains, sought the adjournment and presented all of his troubled upbringing into the sentencing submissions. If Packers legal team did the same his sentence would have been significantly less also.
At least he was convicted hence the appeal. If upheld this would pose issues for his NRL career due to having to travel, particularly internationally.
Anyways if he is cleared to play in the NRL that will be the biggest joke ever.

Tactical move on behalf of his defence counsel. Try and make the NRL bare some responsibility for his atrocious actions and they will then try and be the nice guys by allowing him to reintegrate back into the NRL because it is all he knows and this will assist him to 'reform'.
Yes my most hated list theres a fair few on there burgess made good headway last season and was just under coote, probably on par with billy slater in second place.
So does this mean souths get fifita or ferguson? Theyd have the cash for one of them
