After his Warrington Wolves team’s most recent victory over St Helens on Thursday night, Sam Burgess made a big statement.
In fact, he claimed that during his tenure as head coach, he had never been more proud than he was after seeing his team overcome hardship to defeat their neighbors for the seventh time in a row.
The Wire lost Marc Sneyd to a shattered eye socket at the end of the first half, while Matty Ashton passed a late head injury examination after scoring a hat-trick of tries in a 32-18 triumph. Captain George Williams is already on the treatment table.
Sam Powell, Toby King, and Lachlan Fitzgibbon also sustained injuries of various degrees, but Warrington persevered to finish a recent victory sweep against Paul Wellens men.
