BURGESS SUMMIT SPECIAL

Only Super League prize will do for Joe

- DAVE CRAVEN

Salford v Wigan Today, 3pm

IT'S no surprise Salford's Joe Burgess is desperate to finally become a Super League winner after so many near misses.

But given he played at trophy-laden Wigan for most of his career, the 28-year-old former England winger might never have expected to do so with the unfashionable Red Devils.

However, Burgess - who lost three Grand Finals with Wigan and cruelly missed their 2018 win due to a ruptured ACL firmly believes it is possible.

They host his former club today knowing another victory will leave them just two points behind leaders Catalans.

Burgess said: "It is a crucial part of the season. It could really define the rest of the year for us.
