Sam Burgess has played down speculation Kevin Sinfield could join him on his coaching staff at Warrington Wolves next year, before admitting the Super League club have shown “bravery and courage” in entrusting him with his first position as a head coach.
Burgess will be Super League’s youngest coach in 2024 with the 34-year-old dual-code England international appointed at the Wolves on an initial two-year deal. Sinfield’s own future is uncertain in the aftermath of the Rugby World Cup, with suggestions he will part company with the England setup. That would lead to inevitable speculation over a return to league, where he made his name as a player.
