Betfred Super League verdict

St Helens have won the Super League Grand Final three years on the bounce and worryingly for the rest of the competition, the 2022 side look even stronger.

Lachlan Coote aside, all the key elements have remained, while the very minor weak spots have been addressed and at 9-4 a lumpy wager looks decent value.

They have the coach, the experience, the talent and the enthusiasm of youth to ensure another season of success at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

Warrington and Catalans look the most realistic challengers to the crown while Leeds could give punters a good run for their money if they get their coaching situation sorted.

The Rhinos have a mouthwatering squad and they will take some stopping if they get on a charge. At 9-1 they are worth a dart to finish top of the pile in the regular season, while Hull KR are worth an investment to follow up their stunning run in 2021.

The Robins went within 80 minutes of a miraculous Grand Final, anda win to nil at Warrington was the standout moment in a season of many.

Tony Smith's side play with great freedom and enthusiasm and a playoff spot looks well within their compass again.

At the other end, it could be a long season for league new-boys, Toulouse.

Unbeaten in the 2021 Championship, the French raiders could get a rude awakening in the top flight and look likely to follow Leigh in making an immediate return to the second tier.

The loss of star man and captain Johnathon Ford on the eve of the season is devastating and Olympique's flame is likely to be extinguished sooner rather than later.
