The Storylines to Watch
Hull KR chasing history
Hull KR have already made history by securing their first-ever League Leaders’ Shield in the Super League era. But they’re not done yet. With a Challenge Cup win already in the bag, Rovers are now aiming to become just the twelfth team in rugby league history to achieve The Treble – League Leaders’, Challenge Cup, and Grand Final in the same season.
Craven Park will be bouncing when they host their semi-final. Could 2025 be the year of the Robins?
Wigan Warriors – champions with a dynasty in sight
The defending champions, Wigan Warriors, are chasing a third consecutive Super League title. The Cherry and Whites know how to peak in finals rugby, and they’ll have home advantage at the intimidating Brick Community Stadium in their semi-final.
They’ll be determined to remind everyone why they remain the benchmark in British rugby league.
Wakefield Trinity – fairytale season continues
Few would have predicted this in February. Wakefield Trinity, newly promoted to Super League in the off-season, have defied expectations by booking a place in the eliminators. Guided by their loyal fanbase and fighting spirit, they face Leigh Leopards in what promises to be a bruising contest.
Win or lose, Trinity’s return to the big stage has been one of the feel-good stories of the year.
Leigh Leopards – Adrian Lam’s test
Under coach Adrian Lam, Leigh Leopards continue to evolve as a force in Super League. A strong home crowd at Leigh Sports Village will roar them on as they look to silence Wakefield’s fairytale rise. With stars capable of producing magic, the Leopards will be dangerous opposition for anyone.
Leeds vs Saints – heavyweight eliminator clash
Few fixtures deliver drama quite like Leeds Rhinos vs St Helens. Two giants of the modern Super League era meet in a do-or-die eliminator at Headingley. Both sides know what it takes to win in September – and this showdown could easily be worthy of a Grand Final itself.
The Road to Old Trafford
With Hull KR and Wigan already locked in for home semi-finals, the winners of the eliminators will have to dig deep if they want to keep their dream alive. The Grand Final at Old Trafford on October 11 (6pm GMT) promises to be a spectacular finale to what has already been a thrilling season.
Whether it’s Hull KR chasing the Treble, Wigan seeking a dynasty, or an outsider shocking the rugby league world, the 2025 finals series is shaping up to be unmissable.
