An expanded field, the target on treble Hull KR’s back and the upcoming World Cup make this an exciting time to follow the Super League. Following the death, relegation, liquidation and resurrection of Salford, RFL Championship winners Toulouse Olympique have been given a top-table spot alongside League Leaders’ Shield winners York Knights and Bradford Bulls.
The start of the campaign is fraught with danger for Hull KR, who have a World Club Challenge date with reigning NRL champions Brisbane Broncos early doors, quickly followed by Rugby League Las Vegas.

Leeds’ Man of Steel Jake Connor, on the other hand, was 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?
