Sam vs. Tom Burgess – A Sibling Showdown as Warrington Faces Huddersfield
Rugby league fans, get ready for a historic clash! This Sunday, the Super League kicks off with an electrifying encounter between Warrington Wolves and Huddersfield Giants. But beyond the usual season opener hype, this match carries something extra special—it's the first time brothers Sam and Tom Burgess will be on opposing sides.
Sam Burgess, now head coach of Warrington Wolves, will face his younger brother Tom, who has joined Huddersfield Giants for the 2025 season. Having played together for years at South Sydney Rabbitohs alongside their other brothers, George and Luke, this marks a brand-new chapter in their rugby journey—one that neither of them expected.

Speaking about the matchup, Sam revealed that he actually tried to bring Tom to Warrington, but salary cap constraints made it impossible. “We did try to recruit him, but we were pretty tight on the cap. He’s going to add something to Super League for sure,” Sam admitted.
Tom, on the other hand, is relishing the opportunity to play against his brother rather than under him. “My older brother is a bit bossy, so who knows what he would have been like as my head coach!” he joked. “But honestly, I’m really proud of what he’s achieved. It’s going to be a great challenge.”
With Warrington entering the season as one of the title contenders and Huddersfield looking to bounce back from a tough 2024 campaign, this showdown has all the makings of a blockbuster. Add in the family rivalry, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
The Burgess family will be watching, the fans will be roaring, and history will be made. Don’t miss it—Warrington Wolves vs. Huddersfield Giants, live on Sky Sports+ this Sunday!
