Burgess hopes for a quick outcome to the NRL investigation.

"I am happy for the them to get to the truth," he told reporters at a press conference on Tuesday.

"I just want to protect my family in this whole thing. I have got a wife, I have got a daughter, my wife is heavily pregnant so I just want them to be safe and happy but with my current situation at home there is no chance of that.

"It's been a tough process to go through together, but fortunately I've got a strong wife, a wife who loves me, I've got great family, great friends, great support around me.

"I am glad that I am stood here today, I am glad that I have a chance to address it and speak to you guys so that you understand where I am at. I am not running away and hiding from what is out there.

"I am telling you that there is an inquiry going on and it is coming to a close, hopefully in the next 24 to 48 hours."

The story of the allegations broke in The Daily Telegraph a day before South Sydney's clash with the Dragons.

Asked about the timing, the Englishman said: "I have no comment to make about that. I think you can all make your own assumptions.

"I am not angry, what hurts me the most is seeing my wife upset about what is out there and I have had to deal with that. I am completely happy to go through the process, be as open and honest with everything, and hopefully it is resolved sooner rather than later."

The Rabbitohs forward said he will speak this lawyer about possible legal action once the investigation is complete.

"Once the process is finished I will speak to my lawyer then," he said.

"There is a lot of important things going on at the moment, I have got some serious football games in front of me. There is a process going on here but once it is all done and dusted, sure."
