Sam Burgess Denies NRL Return Rumours and Commits to Warrington Wolves

Warrington Wolves head coach Sam Burgess has put an end to speculation linking him with a return to the NRL, stating that he is “very happy” in the Super League. Burgess, who spent nine seasons at South Sydney Rabbitohs before retiring in 2019 and then joining Warrington Wolves as head coach, has been rumored to be considering a return to the NRL following Rabbitohs’ slow start to the season.

During his time at South Sydney Rabbitohs, Burgess made 182 appearances and played a crucial role in their Premiership-winning side in 2014. After retiring, he served as an assistant coach before making the move to Warrington Wolves. Despite Rabbitohs’ struggles in the NRL this season, Burgess remains committed to his current role at Warrington.

With Warrington, Burgess has led the team to five wins from their first seven matches in the Super League and has guided them to the Challenge Cup semi-finals for the first time in three years. His focus is on honoring his two-year contract with Warrington and continuing to build on the team’s success in the Super League.

While Rabbitohs face Melbourne Storm next in the NRL, Warrington Wolves will take on Salford Red Devils in their upcoming Super League fixture. Fans can catch all the action from the 2024 Super League season live on Sky Sports and stream it with NOW.
