UK bookmaker Sky Bet shut the market after a flurry of bets suggested Burgess could return to the Super League with Leeds Rhinos.
Speculation has suggested the Burgess would return to the NRL in Australia but it appears the treble-chasing Leeds have now entered the chase.
Sky Bet spokesman Jordan Fiddes explained the bookie was just making sure people weren't privy to information about the 27-year-old cross code star.
"We received a number of requests on our Twitter account for Sam Burgess to sign for Leeds Rhinos shortly before and after England lost to Australia," Fiddes said.
"We went up originally at 8/1, then went down to 6/1 after a series of bets came in.
"We’ve since taken the market down in case some people know something we don’t"
