The Rugby League Hot Recap
Previewing the 2026 Super League Season - Part 3 & who will coach England next?
Season 2, Ep. 3
•
The Hot Recap crew deliver the third and final part of our 2026 Betfred Super League season preview!
On the news front, the boys discuss Shaun Wane's exit and outline which coaches could take the helm at England RL for this year's World Cup. There's signing news as more Rhinos head down under and Leigh work to retain key players. We tease a potential big clash in the Challenge Cup and recap the fallout from the Featherstone announcement last week.
To the preview, and this week we ask the big questions; Are Wakefield dark horses as they enter year 2 in Super League? Do Warrington make this a year of transition as they blood their talented youngsters? Is this the year that Wigan drop out of the Top 2? Can York deliver on a real year of promise as they make their debut in the Super League?
We'll be back next week with another episode as we count down towards the 2026 Betfred Super League and NRL seasons!
