Sam Burgess spent nine seasons at South Sydney Rabbitohs across two spells before his retirement in 2019, then served as an assistant coach ahead of joining Warrington Wolves as head coach; Burgess has been linked with a return to the NRL after Rabbitohs’ slow start to the season
Warrington Wolves head coach Sam Burgess has shut down rumours of an immediate return to the NRL and insists he is “very happy” in the Super League.
Burgess made 182 appearances across two spells for South Sydney Rabbitohs between 2010 and his retirement in 2019, playing a key role in the Premiership-winning side in 2014, before being part of their coaching staff ahead of his return to England.
The 35-year-old signed a two-year contract with Warrington after working as an assistant last season for Rabbitohs head coach Jason Demetriou, who has seen his future questioned after a nightmare start to the NRL campaign.
