Round 14 Preview

Betfred Super League returns to our screens following Betfred Challenge Cup Finals Week last weekend!

The race for the Play-Offs continues in Round 14, but what action will unfold across the six fixtures?

Friday 14 June

Warrington Wolves v Salford Red Devils (20.00) – Sky Sports

There’s a trio of matches on Friday night with Warrington Wolves and Salford Red Devils going head-to-head live in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

The Wolves will look to bounce immediately back on home soil following their Challenge Cup Final defeat last Saturday, whereas Salford will aim to complete the double over their opponents in 2024.

Sam Burgess has named a similar squad to that of last Saturday - the only omissions being Jordy Crowther and Lachlan Fitzgibbon, who both sustained knocks in the Wembley Final.

For Salford, Loghan Lewis could potentially make his Red Devils debut, as he’s named in Paul Rowley’s 21-man squad for the first time since his move from Canberra Raiders.

Youngster Harvey Wilson is also still in contention for his first appearance, and Salford fans will be happy to see Nene MacDonald’s inclusion, after the PNG international limped off the field with a knee injury almost a fortnight ago.

Ryan Brierley remains absent with a shoulder injury, and Matty Foster is added to the injury list after a collision in Salford’s last outing against London.

The sides last met in April with Salford clinching a 17-12 victory at the Salford Community Stadium, but who will come out on top at the Halliwell Jones Stadium this Friday?

Castleford Tigers v Wigan Warriors (20.00) – Sky Sports and SuperLeague+

Castleford Tigers will welcome Wigan Warriors to the Mend-A-Hose Jungle for a third time this year on Friday.

It’s the Warriors who have won all three meetings against the Tigers this year (in both the league and cup) – by wide margins too - and Matt Peet’s men will now want to continue their mission in Super League as they look to retain their silverware.

Wigan make just one change to their 21-man squad, with Jack Farrimond coming in to replace Jai Field.

Castleford were victorious at home last time out against Hull FC but will be without experienced heads Paul McShane and Joe Westerman for this one. They are replaced by Samy Kibula and prop Matty English, who has joined on a two-week loan spell from Huddersfield.

Hull KR v Huddersfield Giants (20.00) – Sky Sports and SuperLeague+

It’s a home game for Hull KR on Friday as they entertain Huddersfield Giants at Sewell Group Craven Park.

The Robins could make it six home wins in a row with a victory over the Giants, but Ian Watson’s men will be aiming to go back-to-back and secure successive wins over both Hull teams.

There's just one change to each side - Louix Gorman returns for the Robins in Round 14, while the Giants' Adam Milner replaces Leroy Cudjoe.

Saturday 15 June

Hull FC v Leeds Rhinos (15.00) – Sky Sports

On Saturday, Hull FC will welcome Leeds Rhinos to the MKM Stadium, while Catalans will entertain Leigh Leopards in Perpignan.

Hull FC are at home for the first time since Round 9 and announced earlier this week that they will pay tribute to the late Rob Burrow at Saturday’s fixture, as the Black & Whites face Burrow’s former club in their first Men’s Super League fixture since his passing – details can be found here.

FC head coach Simon Grix has made two changes to the squad that was named ahead of his side's clash against Huddersfield Giants a fortnight ago, with Carlos Tuimavave and Denive Balmforth replacing Harvey Barron and Matty Laidlaw in the squad.

David Fusitu'a and Tom Holroyd set to return to action for the Rhinos, but they will be without Andy Ackers due to concussion protocols.

The sides last met in April with the Rhinos grinding out a win in a gritty encounter on Hull's home patch - will we see the same in Round 14?

Catalans Dragons v Leigh Leopards (17.30 UK) – Sky Sports and SuperLeague+

There's action taking place in the south of France this weekend, with Catalans hosting Leigh.

Both sides enter this fixture on the back of losses in Round 13, so there's an important two points on offer. Catalans will look to continue challenging at the top, whereas a recently resurged Leigh will look to push further up the league ladder and add pressure to the mid-table teams.

For the Dragons, Arthur Romano, Micky McIlorum, Paul Séguier and Alrix Da Costa are back in the squad to take on the Leopards.

The Leopards won comfortably 30-2 in this season's reverse fixture at the Leigh Sports Village, although Adrian Lam's men are yet to taste victory at Stade Gilbert Brutus...

London Broncos v St Helens (15.00) – Sky Sports and SuperLeague+

On Sunday it’s a trip to the capital for table toppers St Helens to face London Broncos. The Saints are searching for their fourth consecutive victory in Super League as they make the trip down to the capital, with the Broncos relishing the challenge.

London Broncos will return to the Twickenham Stoop Stadium for their Round 14 fixture - and it will be their first time playing at the venue since 2013.

Mike Eccles men were heavily beaten when they faced St Helens at the Totally Wicked Stadium back in February but have interestingly won their last two home matches against the Saints.

These victories date back to 2019 – the year of London’s last stint in the top tier – where they beat St Helens 32-12 in July, and 23-22 in June that year.

What will the result be at Twickenham on Sunday afternoon?
