Saturday's Betfred Super League predictions

For the first time in four seasons a side other than St Helens begin their Super League campaign with a target on their back.

Wigan were deservedly crowned rugby league champions in 2023, finishing top of the regular season with the best attack and defence before beating Catalans in October's Grand Final.

The Warriors have not rested on their laurels, bringing in a number of eyecatching arrivals to bolster their squad as they seek to show they are now the best around.

An opening clash with Castleford, which will be the first Super League match to be shown live on the BBC, shouldn't exert too much pressure on the champions before next Saturday's seismic World Club Challenge showdown with NRL premiers Penrith Panthers.

There's a fresh look to Castleford in 2024 after flirting with relegation last term, with new coach Craig Lingard poised to hand as many as seven Tigers players their debuts against Wigan, although star man and former Man of Steel Paul McShane is injured.

But Cas will do well to snap a seven-game losing streak against the Warriors, who were resounding 36-0 and 48-6 victors in the pair's meetings last term.

Abbas Miski, Super League's leading tryscorer in 2023, bagged five tries in the second of those comprehensive victories and quotes of 7-1 about the Lebanese winger opening the scoring at the Jungle look generous.

Backing Miski to touch down first and Wigan to defy a 14-point handicap as they tune up for their world title bid makes plenty of appeal.

Sam Burgess is latest man to attempt to end Warrington's long title drought but a trip to last season's Grand Finalists Catalans is a tough start for Slammin' Sam.

The Wolves have made their customary raft of new signings in the off-season but there is a far more settled look to the Dragons, who won ten of 13 home games in 2023.

Warrington were one of just three teams to win in Perpignan but that came before their excellent start unravelled and a home win by one to 12 points looks the most sensible wager this time.
