An expanded field, the target on the back of the Hull KR treble and the upcoming World Cup make it an exciting time to follow the Super League. Following the demise, relegation, liquidation and resurrection of Salford, RFL Championship winners Toulouse Olympique secured a place at the top, alongside League Leaders’ Shield winners York Knights and Bradford Bulls.
The start of the campaign is strewn with pitfalls for Hull KR, who have a meeting at the World Club Challenge with the reigning NRL champions, the Brisbane Broncos, quickly followed by Rugby League Las Vegas. And their talisman Mikey Lewis was struck in England’s humiliating Rugby Ashes defeat at the end of 2025, a series which left the national team with a vacancy where the head coach should be.
Leeds man of steel Jake Connor, on the other hand, has been unsullied by the whitewash and enters the new season with his reputation at an all-time high. Can he help the Rhinos end their eight-year wait for a championship?
