Rabbitohs star Sam Burgess not hurt by dirty play claims, says coach Michael Maguire SOUTH Sydney coach Michael Maguire says Sam Burgess has not been affected by criticism of his alleged dirty tactics and believes the power forward can eradicate the prohibited behaviour that has crept into his game this season. Burgess was suspended for a "squirrel grip" tackle, in which he grabbed Storm player Will Chambers' testicles, and this week copped heat for an alleged eye-gouge on Roosters playmaker James Maloney. Maguire said Burgess had been warned he walks a fine line with his intensity on the field. "He's obviously disappointed, but the easiest way to fix that is to make sure he goes out and plays the way he can," Maguire said. There are many different ways he can focus his energy into what he does on the park. Sam Burgess squirrel grips Melbourne Storm centre Will Chambers. You see that every week. He's had a couple of incidents and he knows it hurts the team at times, so if he gets that out of his game he's going to be a better player. He wants to become a better player, so it's quite easy. Maguire said he had talked to Burgess about the incidents, but stressed their discussions were mainly about the team's attacking structure - which needs to click Friday night when it kicks off the NRL finals against Melbourne at ANZ Stadium. The Rabbitohs haven't beaten the Storm under Maguire and toppled the reigning premier just once in their last 10 meetings. Maguire said his team had been sucked into playing an overly physical game in recent weeks at the expense of keeping their structures - something the Storm are likely to try to exploit. " (It's) not a concern, but we've spoken about it and it's something that we need to make sure we fix," he said. It's in our hands to make sure we fix it. That's what we need to do as a team. That might be something Melbourne could try to attack. South Sydney prop Sam Burgess must keep it clean against the Storm. Rabbitohs star Greg Inglis is a certain starter, despite a knee complaint, while Jason Clark is also expected to play despite limping from training with a corked knee yesterday.
