Sam keeping the faith on outing to The Church
WARRINGTON boss Sam Burgess is going to The Church tonight but doesn't need to pray.
His side rounds off Magic Weekend day one with a crucial clash against Leeds Rhinos at Elland Road.
Burgess, who grew up nearby Dewsbury, watched Leeds United as a child.
And the ex-England superstar's partner is an ardent fan.
Burgess explained: "Lucy's family call it The Church. They'll say, 'Are we going to Church this weekend?' "That's pretty self-explanatory. It's common terminology with Leeds United fans. And they are all coming to Church this weekend." Warrington don't need any divine inspiration, though, given how they're motoring in the 35-yearold's first season in charge.
Having fallen just short in the Challenge Cup Final Wembley, they are now chasing down top spot and Grand Final glory at Old Trafford.
