Warrington Wolves' Sam Burgess on battle for top spot and Magic Weekend showdown

Sam magic weekend's always a big day in the calendar but given the way that the league table sits given the opposition I guess days like Saturday why you got into coaching yeah well it's going to be a really exciting week weekend really I mean Saturday's game you got London Hall to begin with it's going to be uh it's plenty on the line you got Wigan Saints which is just Wigan Saints and then you know there leads warrant and with at Ellen Road leads backyard um you know Leeds have sort of really found themselves playing a good rugby and then you know we got our own stuff that we're trying to figure out and uh trying to build our game now to the back end so it's it makes for a great great game rugby and uh we're looking forward we're got to sell this place out I think that's that'll make it exciting as well there'll be plenty of Warrington fans in this place but are you kind of relishing the fact that you've got to come to leads and play leads and it'll be hostile and it'll be tough yeah I think we're excited for that really because um you know we we really like those atmospheres uh as you said our fans traveled great so the warrant fans really sometimes seem louder away from the stadium than than they do at home so that's hopefully we can get a good area here of War fans get them singing loud and uh you know try and take on the leads lot you've got plenty of experience in your side you've been through the semi-finals of the challenge C and Wembley this year but is this another real opportunity to kind of take stock of a big game experience and kind of get that in the bank ahead of semi-finals and who knows what's to come no it certainly is obviously it's a great opportunity for us to you know we're outside our comfort zone completely new environment there'll be bit more happening there'll be games on before us there be you know we have to change and different change there's a lot of uh variables to a normal game so again it's another occasion for us to handle as a group come through experience we felt like in a couple of finals games earlier this year semi-final final um so this is going to be another great experience for us and you hopefully we'll learn some things uh you know over the past six months uh all you know standard instead for the weekend does it come at a really good time where we look kind of six weeks out from the playoffs that kind of run into the season it's another big event to get up for it could be another real kind of Magic Moment pardon the p with your fans and your players does it come at a really good time with the running yeah listen I think the magic week's uh it's a great week whenever it is in the calendar but I like it being at this back end we've all everyone's got something each game's got a really deep meaning to them they all have an influence on the league influence on the on the ladder um all teams have their own different agendas um and for us we got to get our game right leads a obviously defending great kept uh wigging to I think Four Points six points on the weekend so we we know we're going to be good going to have to be good to break him down and let's hope see some magic you've put yourselves in a you know a really strong position as we approach the end of the season is the is the job living up to what you thought it might yeah I've enjoyed it and uh the players have been a joy to work with uh you know it's uh we're far from finished uh but I've enjoyed it up to here and uh let's hope it continues do you ever misplaying on days like this no I'm finally over it like you know for for a number of years there thought I can still play and once you're done you're done it's uh it's hard to something in your brain changes uh so for me now I much much prefer coaching well best of luck in the weekend thank you cheers
