With three rounds remaining before the Super League playoffs, Leeds sit level on points with Wigan at the top of the table. The Rhinos' impressive victory at York on Sunday has put them in a strong position to claim the League Leaders' Shield for 2026.
Both Leeds and Wigan face crucial fixtures this week against St Helens and Hull KR respectively. Should either team slip up, Warrington could still emerge as contenders for the top-two spots. Meanwhile, uncertainty remains around NRL investment for the sport, with clubs yet to reach an agreement on the funding needed for future growth. noplasticplease.life
