Round 3 Preview

Las Vegas meets the Betfred Super League in Round 3 with the highly anticipated event finally upon us!

And here is a preview of all six matches taking place the latest round…

Thursday 27 February

Hull KR v Salford Red Devils (20.00) – live on Sky Sports and SuperLeague+

We’re back at Sewell Group Craven Park on Thursday night as Hull KR host Salford Red Devils - and fans can tune in to SuperLeague+ as well as Sky Sports for this one!

The Robins are searching for a third consecutive win, having scraped past Castleford Tigers and Wakefield Trinity in the opening two rounds.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils will be hoping they can move off the bottom of the table and kickstart their season with a win in Round 3.

There’s a devastating blow for Willie Peters’ men who will be without their star halfback Mikey Lewis for the near future.

Their victory against Trinity last Thursday came at a cost with Lewis sustaining an ankle injury.

Danny Richardson comes into contention to replace the Steve Prescott MBE Man of Steel, whilst Tyrone May also remains in the squad and will be hopeful of making an appearance on Thursday evening.

Salford’s 21-man squad remains unchanged - although Joe Shorrocks misses out, due to a 3-match suspension.

Last time out in East Hull, the Robins enjoyed a comfortable 32-12 victory over the Red Devils.

Friday 28 February

Leigh Leopards v Catalans Dragons (20.00) – live on Sky Sports

It’s a battle between a team who has won two and a team that has lost two in 2025.

The Leopards will be looking for a third win on the bounce, whereas the Dragons will be desperate to get off the mark. 

Leigh completed a double over Catalans in 2024 – will they do it again?

For the hosts, Frankie Halton and Aaron Pene drop out and Jack Hughes and Nathan Wilde come into the team instead.

For the visitors, Reimis Smith and Romain Navarrete are back in the squad and replace Chris Satae and Clément Martin.

Huddersfield Giants v Hull FC (20.00) – live on Sky Sports and SuperLeague+

Huddersfield Giants have home advantage in Round 3 and will welcome Hull FC to the John Smith’s Stadium.

The Black & Whites haven’t won at Huddersfield since 2019, but can they break this sequence in 2025?

Amir Bourouh is back in Hull’s 21-man squad for Friday’s trip, having been unavailable last week due to the head knock protocols. Young outside back Ryan Westerman is also called into the 21-man squad this week.

Zak Hardaker (groin), Jed Cartwright (hamstring), Oliver Holmes (knee), Davy Litten (MCL), Jack Charles (ankle) and Matty Laidlaw (ACL) are unavailable for selection through injury.

Looking to kickstart their season Huddersfield have named George Flanagan once again after his impressive Super League debut, whilst new recruit Taane Milne is in line for his first Giants appearance.

Saturday 1 March

Wakefield Trinity v St Helens (14.30) – live on BBC, Sky Sports and SuperLeague+

The BBC will once again cover Super League action in Round 3, as their cameras head to the DIY Kitchens Stadium - which was a sell out last Thursday.

A rejuvenated Wakefield Trinity will be relishing the test of taking on an unbeaten St Helens side – although Trinity's last home victory against the Saints dates back to 2018 (24-20).

It’s back-to-back trips to West Yorkshire for Paul Wellens’ men, who travelled to Castleford last Saturday. What can we expect from this Round 3 clash - will the Saints go three from three or will Wakefield continue to compete?

Daryl Powell is able to bring back Liam Hood, Renouf Atoni and Matty Russell back into his Trinity squad for the challenge of St Helens, whilst Paul Wellens makes two changes to his side - Morgan Knowles is unavailable after failing his Head Injury Assessment in the match against Castelford, and George Whitby is the other Saint who steps out of our match day selection.

Moses Mbye and Ben Davies step into the 21-man squad.

Wigan Warriors v Warrington Wolves (21.30, UK time) – Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas - live on Sky Sports (Sky Showcase as well as Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Action)

Viva Las Vegas!

History will be made on Saturday night as Super League heads to Las Vegas!

Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves, along with England Women, will be adding international flavour to the NRL’s return to the USA and will feature at the iconic Allegiant Stadium as part of a blockbuster quadruple header.

All attention will turn to Saturday’s hotly anticipated event, as the Warriors take on the Wolves and represent Super League on a world stage – with an important two competition points still up for grabs.

It’s set to be a sensational spectacle in the American continent between the best of the best as their meetings always produce a classic – whether this be last year’s Challenge Cup Final or previous Grand Final encounters.

In the regular rounds last year, it was also one apiece.

Who will become Las Vegas victors?

Sunday 2 March

Leeds Rhinos v Castleford Tigers (15.00) – live on Sky Sports and SuperLeague+

There’s a West Yorkshire derby to bring the curtain down on Round 3 as Castleford make the short trip to face Leeds at AMT Headingley Stadium.

The Rhinos triumphed in both derbies last year and have won their last three home meetings with the Tigers.

Can Leeds go back-to-back and claim their first home win of the season? Or will Castleford secure their first two points of the campaign?
