Sam Burgess has rubbished Anthony Seibold's claim the Rabbitohs' attack had not changed much since he was in charge as ''bizarre''.

And Burgess said there was nothing he could do if the coach who walked out on Souths before Christmas to take over the Broncos still wanted to run an ''agenda''.

Friday night's blockbuster at Suncorp Stadium was already guaranteed to be a belter because of the toxic coaching swap between Seibold and Wayne Bennett, and the return of Souths recruits James Roberts and Jaydn Su'a to the Queensland capital for the first time since they were torpedoed by Seibold before June 30.

Seibold's post-match comments last Friday night that Souths' attack had not changed struck a nerve with several senior players at Redfern including Burgess, who has been named to start in the front row but is battling a quad strain.
