Sam Burgess pleads not guilty

Rabbitohs captain Sam Burgess has entered a not guilty plea after being charged by the Match Review Committee with a Grade One Shoulder Charge after our round seven clash with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

Burgess will fight the charge, arising from an 8th minute incident with Bulldogs player Greg Eastwood, at judiciary - 6pm Tuesday night.

If he fights the charge and loses he will accrue 280 points and miss the following two matches. If he fights the charge and wins he will be free to play against the Broncos next week.
