Sam Burgess has been charged with intimidation after an alleged row with his estranged wife’s father. 

The Rabbitohs forward, 30, was visiting his two kids at the NSW southern highlands estate when he allegedly got into an argument with Mitchell Hooke on Saturday October 19. 

Mr Hooke reportedly asked the NRL superstar to leave the family’s three hectare Glenquarry farm – which Burgess did – but police were called about 5pm. 

Officers filed an interim apprehended violence order (AVO) against Burgess, and court documents revealed Burgess is was barred from coming close to the home.

The altercation was followed up by police on Wednesday, and Burgess’s lawyer was served a court attendance, The Daily Telegraph reported. 

‘About 4pm on Saturday 19 October 2019, police were called to an address at Glenquarry, east of Bowral, in relation to a domestic dispute,’ a police statement said.

‘Police from The Hume Police District attended and an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order was applied for on behalf of a 63-year-old man.

‘Following further inquiries, on Wednesday 30 October 2019, a 30-year-old man was charged with the offence of Intimidation (DV related).

‘It’s alleged the man intimidated the older man during the incident.’

It’s expected the ADVO matter will face the Moss Vale Local Court on November 6, while the first mention for the fresh charge is listed for December 18. 

The revelation comes as the Rabbitohs star announced his retirement on Wednesday.

More to come.
