Leeds Favourites For Fourth Consecutive Super League Title

29 Jan 2010

Leeds Rhinos are the hot favourites for this year’s Rugby League Super League as the three-times defending champions start their quest for a fourth consecutive Grand Final at the Crusaders tonight.

Leeds travel to Wrexham in the season opener looking to become the first side in the sport’s history to win a fourth consecutive league championship and are hot favourites to get their campaign off to a winning start tonight.

The Rhinos are back able at just 1/19 tonight or -22 on the handicap against the Crusaders, who are largely expected to end the season at the bottom of the pile.

And Brian McClennan’s men are hotly tipped to continue their dominance of the league, back able at a best price of 11/10 with to win the regular season and 13/10 to win the Grand Final at Old Trafford on October 2.

St Helens, the side that have lost to Leeds in the showpiece for the last three years are priced at 11/4 for the Grand Final win whilst a new look Warrington, under the guidance of former England coach Tony Smith, are priced at 12/1 along with Wigan.

Huddersfield, the surprise package last season, are priced at 16/1, ahead of Bradford (18/1) and Catalans (22/1). Both Hull FC and Hull KR are back able at 33/1.
