Sam Burgess accepts two-match ban for Sezer hit

Rabbitohs forwards Sam Burgess will miss the next two matches while his brother George has accepted a fine after both pleaded guilty to charges coming out of Saturday's win over the Canberra Raiders.

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.
