Head coach of the WARRINGTON WOLVES, Sam Burgess, has brushed off any idea of Jason Demetriou joining the South Sydney Rabbitohs, given the player’s mounting criticism at the Redfern club.
After a horrendous start to the 2024 NRL season, Demetriou’s Rabbitohs are presently comfortably outside the play-off spots.
As a result, the rumor mill has gone into overdrive, with Burgess’ name being mentioned frequently as a possible Demetriou replacement should the latter be let go.
Burgess has confirmed that he will honor his two-year contract at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, so as things stand, he has no intention of leaving the Wolves.
Burgess responded to rumors of a possible return to Souths before Warrington’s match against the Leigh Leopards on Saturday afternoon, saying: “Nothing in it whatsoever, I’ve got a two-year contract here and I will honour that.”
“I’m thrilled because (club owner) Simon Moran and all of the staff have been amazing with me. I’m having a great time here and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon.
With a Challenge Cup semi-final and a relatively certain spot inside the Super League top four, that will be welcome news to Warrington’s supporters.
