Sam Burgess: The main coach of Warrington Wolves solves the visa problem and travels to Las Vegas for the Super League game | Rugby league news
The main coach of Warrington Wolves Sam Burgess was cleaned to travel to their Historical Sums of the Super League in Las Vegas after his visa issue was resolved.
Burgess was unable to travel from the VEGAS team on Sunday because of their showdown with the Wigan Warriors at the Allegiant Stadium, part of the four -time live match in Las Vegas on Saturday night and all Live on Sky Sports.
The former English internationary revealed last week that his application was raised and that there was no indication when it could be approved, but Burgess has now secured his visa and has been cleaned to travel to the United States.
Burgess was supposed to hold a press conference in Las Vegas at 4 pm in the UK on Wednesday (8am PT), before being replaced by the first team coach Martin Gleeson, although the United States will now arrive later on Wednesday.
Gleeson told reporters that Burgess will be connected to his Warrington team on Thursday on Thursday as planned, where Wolves will have the opposite training against NRL Penrith Panthers.
“Obviously it’s a big bonus,” Gleeson said. “A little uncertainty at the beginning of the week, but he is now on the road. He will come here late tonight.
“[The players] Only he achieved this in their progress. Obviously, this is beyond our control, what happened. The guys just continued their job and that is what it is – we have such a mentality.
“We knew there was a high likelihood that they would go over the middle of the week, so everything would go according to plan. The guys would be pumping, it would buzz.”

The 36-year-old spent two days in London last week, participating in meetings at the US Embassy, while a picture posted on social networks on Tuesday night saw him traveling back to the capital with his suitcase.
“He was probably stressful, I have to say, obviously with uncertainty and unknown,” Gleeson added. “He is obviously released for being able to get over it now and is super excited, believe me.
“I know he had to go down to London to get some things approved. I got a message from him this morning that it had passed and had been approved and jumped on the next flight.

“I think all this was sorted this morning. We had plans to go forward as soon as he would be straight, what happened.”
Over 10,000 Rugby League fans traveled from the UK to the event in Las Vegas, which also contains two games from the Australian NRL of Women’s International, and the Enforcement director of Warrington Karl Fitzpatrick insisted that Burgess’ Saga did not overshadow the week.
“Absolutely no,” Fitzpatrick Sky Sports said Tuesday. “These are the cards we have solved as we will deal with this.
“The sound around the place did not knock down Samina’s visa application.
Burgess was one of the faces promoting the event in Las Vegas and said after Wolves ’18 -12 Win over Catalan Dragons Last Friday evening, “It will be a really pleasant week for everyone.
“I want them to absorb them, they get something out of experience and keep the performance there next Saturday.”
