I think he will inevitably end up in the NRL at some point regardless of whether its a head coach position, if it doesn't work over here I think he will return down under anyway and take an assistant role somewhere. Either way, he knows this is his best shot at getting a head coach job over there, so he will put everything in to it.
I'm not writing him off yet, he's still early in to his new career and he'll learn to deal with certain aspects better I'm sure (though it is often boring to hear coaches drone on with the same responses when losing time after time, at least Burgess doesn't revert to type in that regard.) We haven't started great, and some of the recruitment seems to have been a bit panicked, but we're better than we were under Powell and I think Price too given the younger players that have been given opportunities over the past 18 months.
I still think we will finish the season strongly once we have Williams and Sneyd back.
Pretty much sums up where I'm at with Sam and the way we are going this season, there is time for Sam and the boys to turn things around. We are not out of contention yet and if we still are when Williams and Sneyd return, then who knows, on our day.....
