Sam Burgess’ frustrations with the judiciary system reflect the sentiment of the wider playing group, according to the players’ union.

Burgess is facing a hefty fine after an extraordinary attack on the NRL judiciary in which he described it as a “kangaroo court”. NRL CEO Todd Greenberg rang Burgess to discuss the South Sydney star’s comments, which were published in the Herald. The governing body has advised Burgess he must now show cause why he should not be issued with a breach notice for his statements.

In an interview on Tuesday, Burgess said it was time to “ask the game a couple of questions” about a match review and judiciary system he feels isn’t properly working.

“Everyone seems to be in uproar about this judiciary system,” Burgess said.
