The Super League season kicks off in February with the 12 clubs ready to battle for glory. This season promises to be full of intrigue and drama, with several key storylines to follow. Can Wigan maintain their dominance? Will Warrington finally claim a trophy? And can Leeds Rhinos return to their former glory? Find out here.
Season tickets have arrived, new shirts have been bought, and probably a matching hat and scarf too with the Super League season starting in the middle of a freezing February. Fans of the 12 clubs will be waiting with eager anticipation for the competition to get under way, spending their evenings and weekends analysing their squads, predicting which teams will be hot and which will not, and dreaming of a run to Old Trafford for the Grand Final come October.
From the middle of February, the focus for the next eight or so months becomes your side's prospects. Your week revolves around following your side home and away and a big circle in the calendar goes around those matches with your local rivals. Super League full fixtures released for 2025 - every game live on SkyIMG's gradings explained: What is the criteria?Stream Super League and more sport with NOWWith cup of tea, coffee, or maybe a cheeky beer or bovril in hand, you will take a seat or stand in the terraces, ready for 27 rounds of ecstasy and agony. There will be peaks, there will be troughs, but you will do it over and over again because the love for your club outweighs any rough patch. While your focus might be on your own team, storylines will ebb and flow throughout the season for all 12 clubs, some becoming integral to the competition while others fade away. But what are the storylines underpinning the start of the season? Let's take a look... The top of the mountain: Can anyone knock Wigan off their perch? The problem with being the top dogs is that everybody wants to knock you off your perch and that is exactly what Wigan Warriors will be facing in 2025. The Warriors won everything on offer in 2024 and have a trophy-laden cabinet, with the Grand Final, Challenge Cup, League Leaders' Shield, and World Club Challenge all heading home with Matt Peet's side. Their historic quadruple also saw them crowned BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year and with their squad looking as strong as it has ever been, plus the drive within that side palpable, it is tough to see the Warriors slowing down. It is always their year: But is 2025 actually the year of the Wolf? There has only ever been four teams, yes four, who have managed to win the Grand Final in the 29 seasons of Super League played. They are Wigan Warriors, St Helens, Leeds Rhinos, and Bradford Bulls. Lots of teams have got all the way to the big dance but been unable to make it count at the Theatre of Dreams. One of those is Warrington Wolves. Sam Burgess' side finished third in Super League in 2024, making it all the way to the Challenge Cup final before being beaten by Wigan and were beaten in the semi-finals of Super League by Hull KR. Opposition fans love to sing 'It is always your year' at the Wolves, who are one of the top teams who are always so close but yet so far, and the fans who adorn the Halliwell Jones terraces each week will be believing again that 2025 could truly be their year. They have the head coach, they have the star power in the ranks. Now, they have to turn it into trophies. Since 1985: Time to open up the Hull KR trophy cabinet? While Hull KR have not always been competing at the top of Super League, their 2024 season under head coach Willie Peters showed why they are now a force to be feared and will be another team hoping that heir wait for a trophy is finally over. The Robins have not won a trophy since 1985 but made it all the way to Old Trafford back in October and finished second in the regular season. They have reigning Man of Steel Mikey Lewis in their ranks plus new big signings like Jared Waraea-Hargreaves. The task will be whether they can continue on the trajectory they are on. To do it once is hard, twice is monumental. Rhinos resurgence or the Man Utd effect? 'But it is Manchester United,' is the overly-used phrase when referring to the once standard-bearers of the Premier League. Pundits and fans cannot separate the current state of the club from the halcyon days of old and are often left bewildered, despite it being a build up over a decade, at the current state of Ruben Amorim's side. When a rugby league fan thinks of Leeds Rhinos, their brain may quickly go to the iconic days of Kevin Sinfield, Jamie Peaock, Jamie Jones-Buchanan, and the late great Rob Burrow, when Grand Final winners' rings were a yearly occurrence and trophy cabinets were packed to the brim. However, that is not the Leeds Rhinos of today. Since 2017 when a raft of legends departed, the Rhinos have been trying to find their new identity and have struggled to match their iconic name on the pitch. They have moments of sparkle, such as reaching the Grand Final in 2022, but there is no consistency and the task of head coach Brad Arthur is to ensure that Leeds Rhinos are heading back towards competing with the clubs they have for so long, not missing out on the play-offs. 'But it is Leeds Rhinos' is a phrase that the Headingley faithful do not want to become accustomed t
