Warrington Wolves boss makes Tom Whitehead admission and recruitment hint
Tom Whitehead is the subject of interest from Hull KR but will spend the next month on loan at Salford Red Devils (Image: Allan McKenzie/ SAM Burgess has admitted that, while he values him highly as a player, he may have to let Tom Whitehead leave Warrington Wolves. The loose forward is the subject of strong interest from Super League leaders and Challenge Cup winners Hull KR, who are believed to have had a transfer bid accepted for his services. Advertisement Whitehead's immediate future lies at Salford Red Devils, with the 22-year-old having joined Super League's bottom club on a four-week loan alongside teammate Dan Russell as part of the deal that brought Sam Stone to Warrington. Longer-term, however, the academy graduate's future appears to lie elsewhere despite him being under contract with The Wire until the end of next year. Having progressed through the club's academy, Whitehead has made 11 first-team appearances – two of which have come this season – while he has also spent several spells out on loan. This season alone, he has turned out for London Broncos, Keighley Cougars and Halifax Panthers as well as the Wire reserves but a more permanent departure looks to be in the offing after Burgess admitted he currently struggles to see a path to more regular first-team opportunities for him at The Halliwell Jones Stadium. Read more Sam Burgess responds to Sam Stone criticism with Rowley comments addressed Advertisement Devastating Lindop injury news confirmed as Burgess reveals fresh concern Two ticket offers for Warrington Wolves' next home game 'I love Tommy and he's such a great player. I don't know what's out there but I know he's got some interest from other clubs,' he said. 'We value Tommy – he's been at the club since he was 14 and he's a good lad to have around, but sometimes these opportunities can be good for players. 'He's behind a couple of players at 13 here so if opportunities do arise for him, he'll take them. 'We do value him and he's a great lad but we've been pretty open about everything with him. Advertisement 'He's at Salford for a month and it will be good for him to get some game time. We've been trying to find that time for him all year but we've not had enough opportunity for him.' Burgess also had his say on the departure of off-season recruit Russell, who will spend the remainder of the season at Salford having played 10 times for Warrington this season. 'It's given him the opportunity to play a bit of first-team. It seemed like the right fit,' the Wire boss said of the back-rower. 'We'll get to see him over a long period of time, which will be good for Dan.' Sam Burgess open to more Warrington Wolves recruitment Stone is the second player Warrington have signed from Salford in-season, with scrum-half Marc Sneyd having made the move in March. Advertisement And although he played down the prospect of anything immediate, Burgess hinted he may not be the last mid-season recruit to arrive. Clubs have until August 1 to add players to their ranks immediately and the Wolves head coach has left the possibility of more arrivals on the table. 'I don't know yet. We've still got a little bit of space so we'll see,' he said when asked about the prospect of further recruitment. 'We're keeping everything open, really. With the way things are going for us this year, we're staying versatile. 'We're not actively looking but there is an opportunity if something arises for us.'

May helping unlock Lewis' potential
Hull KR boss Willie Peters believes scrum-half Tyrone May has helped to unlock the full potential of Man of Steel Mikey Lewis this season. May recently signed a two-year contract extension to keep him at Craven Park until 2027 following the Robins' Challenge Cup victory at Wembley. Advertisement And head coach Peters is in no doubt about May's impact on Lewis and what he brings to the table as the club look to follow up their recent success with a Grand Final win. "Tyrone obviously got us to a Grand Final last season and helped us win a Challenge Cup this year, so he is a really important part of what we do," Peters told BBC Radio Humberside. "People see Mikey Lewis scoring a try and the last pass, but Tyrone plays a big part in the lead up to that and Mikey would be the first one to acknowledge that. "Their combination has grown. Tyrone is the one on the ball and the one who plays through that middle third and organises our attack. Advertisement "What Mikey can do is make something out of nothing and score tries from halfway. But Mikey needs space, he needs to be freed up and that person that frees him is Tyrone." May, who joined Rovers from Catalans Dragons in 2024, had offers from the National Rugby League but chose to commit to two more years of Super League. Peters believes potentially winning a Grand Final was one of the drivers behind May's decision to stay, after they were narrowly denied by Wigan last season. "Obviously you want to lock down key players, but we need to make sure Tyrone wanted to stay for the right reasons - because he wanted to be here, not because he had to be," he said. Advertisement "That was the case and it is obviously great that we can lock our spine down and great that we have probably got the team for next year." Hull KR go to Castleford on Thursday and after the euphoria of Wembley and a triumphant return to Craven Park with a 68-6 win over Catalans last Friday, Peters says it will be "back to business as usual". "We are certainly not going into this game with a complacent frame of mind. We are going over there knowing what to expect," he added. "We won our first (trophy) in a while and naturally we want to go after more, but we are not getting carried away or getting ahead of ourselves. "There is a lot of hard work that starts this week against Castleford, who played well against [Hull] FC last week."
