(Reuters) - St George Illawarra Dragons-bound forward George Burgess is being investigated by the police and Australia's National Rugby League integrity unit over an alleged road incident, the club said on Wednesday.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that during an incident on the New South Wales south coast, Burgess left his vehicle after he noticed he was being filmed by another person in a truck and took the phone off them.
