WE have almost reached that time of year again, Rugby League fans!
As the 30th Super League season draws to a close, and the build-up to the final intensifies, the question remains clear – who are you backing?

Last year’s final drew in the highest attendance at the Rugby League final since 2017, as 68,173 were in attendance to see Wigan Warriors take on Hull KR.
The final saw Wigan win for a second consecutive year, beating Hull KR 9-2 in the final.
Wigan became the first team in Super League history to win all four major trophies in the same year.
With the reigning champions looking to secure a third trophy, can anyone stop them in their tracks?
The Super League Final will once again take place at Old Trafford, with competing teams hoping their performance in the Theatre of Dreams proves a nightmare for their opponents.

The final has consistently been played at Old Trafford since the first one took place in 1998, with the only exception being in 2020 when it was held at the KCOM stadium in Hull due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
As of 2024, the Player of the Match receives the Rob Burrows award – a touching tribute to a rugby legend who has truly left a lasting impact on the sport.
With so many players showcasing stand-out performances this season, the award is well and truly up for grabs.

What teams are playing in the Super League Grand Final?
The two Super League Grand Final finalists have not yet been confirmed, as both semi-finals are still to be played.
In the first last four clash, Wigan Warriors will be looking to build on their successes as they face Leigh Leopards, who are on a mission to win their first ever Super League and have their sights set on making history.
Leigh Leopards will be feeling confident following their highest Super League finish ever.
While Hull KR will face St Helens in what is set to be a tight clash.
The Robins are hoping to progress to a consecutive final after losing to Wigan Warriors in last year’s showpiece.
St Helens boasts 28 Grand Slam winners’ medals from 11 players in their squad.
So, it’s safe to say they won’t be short of experience going into the highly anticipated semi-final.
