Following Warrington Wolves’ devastating play-off loss to Hull KR, which ended their 2024 Super League campaign, Sam Burgess spoke with the media.

The Wire’s 10-8 loss at Craven Park guaranteed them a spot in the Grand Final at Old Trafford the following Saturday.

We shown a great deal of spirit, as I had anticipated. We were coming off a six-day turnaround, so we knew the beginning would be challenging. We anticipated they would be more experienced than us at the beginning, and although I felt we did alright, the tries we gave up were really weak.

“I’m not even sure if the Burgess attempt is a try. I have no idea what the referee sees or how he can flag it for a try. He gives it roughly ten glances. How do you submit it up for a try if it takes that long to look at it?

“Turning it over is quite difficult when you are blind. Although it’s regrettable, that wasn’t likely the game’s deciding factor in our loss.

About whether the call made by the on-field referee has to be overturned

It is irrelevant what I believe. It is intended for the decision-makers.Since we all love the game, we all want to see an equitable competition.No one knows, including him. Let’s use technology to find out the solution.

Regarding if Warrington had sufficient chances to prevail

We missed a few opportunities, which is why I believe that.Hull KR deserves a lot of recognition; they’re a fantastic team that has had an outstanding season. They required us to put in a lot of energy and hard effort early on.

“They’re a great side, but they changed their defense in the second half, which made it harder to score points. They defended with a lot of spirit.”
