SAM: TRIP TO 'CHURCH' IS JUST DIVINE

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 in 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 weekend?' this "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 year-old's first season in charge.
