GARY Chambers says he is having “constant conversations” with incoming head coach Sam Burgess about recruitment for 2024.

Given his current role in steadying Warrington Wolves for what remains of this year, however, he admits he has left the majority of that work to the England legend.

Burgess has penned a two-year deal to join The Wire from next year and was initially due to finish out the year in his assistant coaching role at South Sydney Rabbitohs.

However, it was confirmed last month that he had been allowed to leave Souths early in order to put more energy into his role at The Halliwell Jones Stadium, although an early move to England has been ruled out.

Chambers will move into a newly-created director of rugby role next year and will work closely with Burgess in every on-field matter, recruitment included.

And the current interim head coach says that area is starting to heat up as Burgess attempts to put his stamp on the squad.

"We’re looking at people now and identifying areas within the squad," he said.

"It’s pretty tough for me at the moment because I’ve got the role here with the squad and staff from a coaching point of view, but Sam gives us the luxury of having an overview.

"He can watch our games and look at areas where we can strengthen.

"We’re having constant conversations about that – he’s looking around and we’re discussing where we need to go with that."

Warrington have two new signings already confirmed for next year, with second rower Lachlan Fitzgibbon to arrive from Newcastle Knights on a three-year deal while Papua New Guinea international centre Rodrick Tai will join from the Dolphins.

Hooker Brad Dwyer is set to re-join the club from Hull FC, centre Toby King is understood to be rejoining the squad having spent this year on loan at Wigan Warriors and the club are being heavily linked with another centre in the shape of St Helens youngster Wesley Bruines.
