WARRINGTON boss Sam Burgess is going to The Church tonight but doesn't need to pray.
His side rounds off Magic Weekend day one with a crucial clash against Leeds Rhinos at Elland Road.
Burgess, who grew up nearby Dewsbury, watched Leeds United as a child.
And the ex-England superstar's partner is an ardent fan.
Burgess explained: "Lucy's family call it The Church. They'll say, 'Are we going to Church this weekend?' "That's pretty self-explanatory. It's common terminology with Leeds United fans. And they are all coming to Church this weekend." Warrington don't need any divine inspiration, though, given how they're motoring in the 35-yearold's first season in charge.
Having fallen just short in the Challenge Cup Final Wembley, they are now chasing down top spot and Grand Final glory at Old Trafford.
