Rhinos and Wolves enter Burgess hunt

Chatter in Super League grows that Leeds and Warrington will throw big money to lure Sam Burgess back to rugby league. The star forward is still contract to rugby union club Bath, but may want to return to his native code after England’s disastrous performance in rugby union’s World Cup. It is believed the Rhinos and Wolves are prepared to open their purse strings for Sam, with a £1 million offer being touted.

Skybet have just suspended betting on him signing for Leeds. The bookies rarely get it wrong.

Yeah seen it. The Independant reported Skybet suspending bets. If I could be bothered I'd post a link.

He said in an interview a few weeks ago in the guardian he was going nowhere and the rumours were rubbish, so I wouldn't bet on it. If the club says it I take it with a pinch of salt but for him to say it I'll take him at his word until proven wrong.

Heard Mike Ford, the Bath coach (and ex-RL player) say that he is going nowhere.

Odds for seeing out his union contract?

Sam isn't a quitter like his Pie eater namesake.
He won't leave Bath yet.
Comd contract end, then I think Gladiator with have first dibs.

does look like he will be coming back to Rugby League now.

Hard to see anyone in superleague affording him though.... Great news for the England side though, having their best player back.

Is this the England shipped out to Wakey and Harrison moved to the side to get himself a year out getting fit and giving Burgess their wages for a year before a return to the NRL show and have Saints fan commenting about us breaking the cap all season show?
