THE NRL will today commence the hunt for a female fan who lashed out at Rabbitohs star Sam Burgess with flag as he was walking from the field last night.
In the latest drama to dog the Englishman, Burgess was struck in the eye while entering the tunnel, but declined to comment on the incident afterwards.

However, his mother Julie witnessed it and vented her anger on Twitter straight away.
Would love to meet the woman (I'm being kind) who hit Sam with a stick as he was leaving the pitch. Sorry Penrith people but that's not OK— Julie Burgess (@itsmejuliebe) April 11, 2014
"Would love to meet the woman (I'm being kind) who hit Sam with a stick as he was leaving the pitch," she tweeted. "Sorry Penrith people but that's not OK."
Rabbitohs CEO Shane Richardson reported the incident to both the ground manager and Penrith opposite Phil Moss, ensuring the NRL will launch an investigation. The culprit faces a lengthy ban if they are found to have committed the assault.

It was an unjust response for Burgess, who was one of South Sydney's best in an historic defensive performance that saw the team miss just five tackles from a total of 316. Burgess finished second on the tackle count with 37, although his 63rd minute miss was recorded as South Sydney's first blemish of the night.
Burgess has already endured a difficult start to the season, after announcing his decision to quit the Rabbitohs for English rugby at the end of this year.

He's been at the centre of rumours over a fallout with fellow star Greg Inglis and also been a target of rival props Jason King and Aaron Woods.
However, last night's effort proves Burgess remains one of the most feared — and hardworking — forwards in rugby league.
