Last year’s fourth place in Betfred Super League was Rhinos’ best since 2017, when they won the Grand Final after finishing as runners-up to Castleford Tigers on the table. Leeds have made only three signings in the off-season, but the bookies reckon they will climb the ladder this year.
It’s a different story for Trinity, who were the top-flight’s surprise package in 2025 after winning the Championship title the previous year. The odds-makers expect them to drop out of the play-off spots this term.
Tigers have finished 11th in two of the past three seasons. Despite bringing in highly-rated Australian coach Ryan Carr and rebuilding their squad, including some additions from the NRL, the bookies don’t see any improvement. Here’s how the final 2026 table is tipped to look, based on latest odds.
