Former South Sydney Rabbitohs captain has been found guilty after saying ‘I’m going to get you’ centimetres from his then father-in-law’s face
Former South Sydney NRL captain and English rugby star Sam Burgess has been found guilty of intimidating his then wife’s father, former mining lobbyist Mitchell Hooke.
The 32-year-old yelled “fuck you, I’m going to get you” 20cm from Hooke’s face during an expletive-riddled rage, sparked when he was asked to leave the Hookes’ Southern Highlands property in October 2019.
