IT might be a little far-fetched but Warrington head coach Sam Burgess could argue he owes Wigan revenge - for a defeat 34 years ago.
In 1990 his dad Mark played for Dewsbury in the Challenge Cup second round against fearsome Wigan.
The front row played more than 200 games for lower division Hunslet, Rochdale and Nottingham.
The Wigan clash was one of the biggest of his career but the double winners romped home 30-6. Ellery Hanley, Andy Gregory and Shaun Edwards all featured and the holders went on to beat Warrington 36-14 in the final.
Burgess snr died from motor neurone disease in 2007, when teenage son Sam was starting out with Bradford, and the poignancy of the Wembley tributes tomorrow for MND campaigner Rob doubtless Burrow resonate.
