As Super League Season Resumes, Top Contenders Emerge
As the Super League season resumes following the Challenge Cup final, attention turns to the top of the table. With Round 14 marking the official midpoint, the league standings are beginning to take shape. While the uneven fixture schedule makes it difficult to gauge the true hierarchy, it seems safe to assume that the current top three contenders – St Helens, Wigan, and Warrington – will remain in the hunt for the title as the campaign reaches its climax.
Speaking on Sky Sports’ The Verdict, former St Helens and Leeds forward Kyle Amor shared his prediction for the 2024 Super League champions. Despite his history with the Saints, Amor believes Wigan Warriors remain the team to beat this season. He noted that the Warriors have not lost their edge following their Challenge Cup triumph, exemplified by their impressive victory over the Penrith Panthers. Amor emphasized that Wigan’s stability, with key figures like Matt Peet, Sean O’Loughlin, and Tommy Leuluai locked into long-term deals, will be a significant advantage as they seek to sustain their success.

This weekend, Wigan will travel to Castleford Tigers, eager to avoid a letdown after their cup triumph. Reigning champions St Helens, on the other hand, are expected to secure a comfortable win when they visit the struggling London Broncos. The Saints will be poised to capitalize on any missteps by Wigan as the race for the Super League title intensifies.
As the business end of the season approaches, the battle at the top of the Rugby League table promises to be captivating.
