Analysis: Season starts tough away at Castleford, early home vs Hull FC (Round 2) and Leigh (Round 3), Good Friday derby away at St Helens (Round 7), Paris showcase vs Catalans (Round 13), and finishing at home vs Dragons (Round 27). As grand final runners up (assuming 2025 form), a balanced but challenging path with plenty of big games.
