Based on this season alone how many would actually be bothered if he goes. I mean it’s not been a big secret that he wants to coach in the NRL but this season he is not selling himself. Poor results and the way he conducts himself in interviews etc.
Someone said that he said this season was going to be a transition season, if that’s the case we better be much better next season or the only job on offer would be Widnes.

I think he will inevitably end up in the NRL at some point regardless of whether its a head coach position, if it doesn't work over here I think he will return down under anyway and take an assistant role somewhere. Either way, he knows this is his best shot at getting a head coach job over there, so he will put everything in to it.
I'm not writing him off yet, he's still early in to his new career and he'll learn to deal with certain aspects better I'm sure (though it is often boring to hear coaches drone on with the same responses when losing time after time, at least Burgess doesn't revert to type in that regard.) We haven't started great, and some of the recruitment seems to have been a bit panicked, but we're better than we were under Powell and I think Price too given the younger players that have been given opportunities over the past 18 months.
I still think we will finish the season strongly once we have Williams and Sneyd back.

He massively over achieved last season and we should have made the Grand Final, but still ended with the best attack and best defence in the League. This season has been a big disappointment though with some very poor recruitment. His stats. as 1st team coach are surprisingly good even now:- https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/ranking-every-super-league-coach-by-career-win-percentage

Pretty much sums up where I'm at with Sam and the way we are going this season, there is time for Sam and the boys to turn things around. We are not out of contention yet and if we still are when Williams and Sneyd return, then who knows, on our day..... |

He would go with well wishes, should he continue as we are currently progressing. Results this year have been up and down but I still have this feeling that if we can get close to our best team out on the field we can compete with the best. I’ll forever be grateful for turning this club around, or contributing towards it, after Powell’s hatchet job.

I'm pretty disappointed to read that Sam is openly talking about his next job. This sends a poor message about commitment and intent, the timing sucks too. Warrington are not going to turn anything around by the end of 2026 (if we ever are) so this feels like passing time to suit him rather than getting stuck into to a proper turn around job. Just 15 months into the job with us and he is already talking about his next one. That's pretty telling. *If* Sam Burgess gets the Perth job it will not be based on any coaching credentials or coaching achievements - he has achieved absolutely nothing and will likely have Warrington (a full cap triple marquee side) at 9th in the league on Sunday evening.

| Sounds like it is more than a rumour now:- Article copied from Warrington Guardian:- SAM Burgess has officially declared his interest in coaching the next expansion team to enter the NRL competition. Indeed, he has confirmed initial talks have been held about him spearheading the Perth-based franchise when they enter the league in 2027.
Reports from Australia had earmarked Burgess as a front-runner for the role, which current Leeds Rhinos boss Brad Arthur had previously been heavily linked with.
The team, which will either be known as the Perth Bears or the Western Bears, will be the next expansion team to come into the NRL, with a Papua New Guinea-based franchise to follow in 2028.
The timings would appear to marry up, with Burgess’ contract with The Wire expiring at the end of the 2026 season.
And while he insists he is fully focused on the job he has to do at The Halliwell Jones Stadium and that nothing has been agreed, he admitted the prospect of coaching the new side is one that appeals to him.
“It’s a great opportunity and a job I’ve certainly spoken about. I’d be interested in it for sure,” the Wire boss exclusively told the Warrington Guardian.
“I’ve got a job to do here, but there will always be things happening in the background and I’m pretty open with the club about everything.
“Nothing is signed or agreed just yet, and I’ll be the first to let the club know of anything if I need to.
“It is something I’d be really interested in and I feel I could make a total difference there, but for now I’m totally focused on Warrington.”
Taking the Perth job would mark a return to the NRL for Burgess for the first time since the end of 2023, when he left his role as assistant coach at South Sydney Rabbitohs – the club with whom he spent the majority of his glittering playing career over two spells – in order to take up his first senior head coaching role with The Wire.
