"I didn't come here to finish 2nd, I didn't come here to finish 3rd. I came here to win."

I'll be surprised if we don't get to the GF next year.

He's been a genuinely inspired appointment by the club. Full credit to him, and full credit to the people who brought him here.

I think it’s fair to say that he has exceeded most of our expectations. Hope to see another improvement next season too.

Re: Sam Burgess : Fri Oct 04, 2024 10:08 pm  
This week, was my 45th anniversary since my first game at Wilderspool.

In all that time, I can say we've only had one QUALITY coach. Tony Smith, take a bow.

I don't like praising NON ACHIEVEMENT, but the way this fella has turned this club around since the previous incumbent, we should build him a statue.

Powell DECIMATED our club, and for the turnaround to be so quick, can only be lauded to Burgess

His calm delivery (when he was on the camera and mic in the game v Saints (a) when we went down to 11) shows the measure of the man .
I'm very happy to have him as our coach

Go on, Burgess. Make it TWO quality coaches in my watching lifetime

If Burgess can get the team together and make the players buy into what his philosophy is. In his first season as a head coach, then this guy is only going to improve himself as a coach and his playing roster will continue to grow and develop. Over the coming years. One or two shrewd signings for next season, the future is looking bright.

I agree with all the plaudits from the other posters, but also, I am really chuffed at Burgess playing our young players to cover injury/ loss of form etc. for our regular 1st team squad.

In the past we have seen players swop and change positions with no chance of an Academy player being selected.

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

Re: Sam Burgess : Sat Oct 05, 2024 2:59 pm  
Unbelievable turnaround achieved by SB and staff. His reaction last night was exactly what we all wanted to hear and no one (least of all the players) will be doubting his sincerity. As Boss Hog said, his attitude to young players has been nothing short of revelatory, it will stand us in good stead for next season and when young players are considering whether to sign for us or elsewhere.

Somewhere under the salary cap

Re: Sam Burgess : Sat Oct 05, 2024 6:21 pm  
best thing to happen to our club since appointing Smith... He has given us our club back.

I dont think anyone expected this level of turnaround so quickly... we got to 1 final, were a few terrible bits of officiating from another... he has brought the kids into the team and they have revelled in it.

More of the same next year please.

I loved his steely declaration of "see you next season" to the sky interviewer. He'll be hurting and will redouble his efforts.
