Burgess Sam: Chief Coach Warrington Wolves can solve a visa problem for a match in Las Vegas Super League | Rugby league news
Warrington Wolves remains optimistic that the main coach himself will solve the visa questions on time to travel to the United States on their Historic Super League match in Las Vegas.
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 international revealed last week that his application had been held and that there was no indication when it could be approved, and former England International still in the UK since Wednesday morning.
He was supposed to hold a press conference in Las Vegas at 4 pm in the UK on Wednesday (8:00 PT), but was replaced by coach of the first team Martin Gleeson, although the Executive Director of Warrington Karl Fitzpatrick remains convinced that Burgess will bring to the United States.
“Look, hopefully,” Fitzpatrick Sky Sports said. “The application is still in the system. The embassy was fantastic in terms of acceleration.
“There are several hoops we have to get over, but at this stage we are convinced that he will be here on Saturday.
“I don’t want to put a number on him at this stage. All I can say is that we are sure, we do everything we can. We get acquainted with the relative authorities.”
Burgess spent two days in London last week by 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.
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 Fitzpatrick insisted that Burgess’ Saga did not overshadow the week.
“Absolutely no,” Fitzpatrick added. “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 On Friday night: “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.”
Burgess absence would be ‘disappointing’
Sky Sports Rugby League Brian Carney, speaking “Lost in Las Vegas”:
“It’s really fluid – I think it’s the best and most fair way to describe.

“It will even tell you Warrington’s administration, there are times that their confidence increases in 60 and 70 percent and then descends to 50/50 levels.
“We all hope that Burgess himself will do here in the end here. It would be a disappointment, I mean, for everyone, if he didn’t get to train Warrington Wolves here in the end.”
