I’ve never said this, ever. But, I think we could win it this year. I’m likely wrong, I’m likely going to be a laughing stock for this post, but… when we need it, when we really need it, there’s a steel and a determination about this team. And that might not be Sam, it might be the players themselves, but I genuinely think that if we can sneak in the 6, we could just find a way. 


What I can say of Sam, evidentially, is this the has got players 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 17, 18… the same as his predecessor, and one team was an abject failure and one is disappointingly underperforming. There is a difference in there. 

Exactly, but this is Sam Burgess. It’s not like he’s got form for singing with a new club ahead of a new season, especially on the other side of the world. Bet if he did it, in like, 2014 for example, he would have slacked off all year. 

Craig Bellamy has announced he's leaving the storm after 2026. The same time burgess's contract is up. We can dream can't we?

He's quit.  Freddie Fittler is the favourite for the job.  NRL don't want a Kangaroo's coach with fingers in clubland.

No he's not.  He's just signed another 12 month extension but he's not said it will be his last.  He will keep going until he gets to 25 years and then decide to give it up.
