Leeds Rhinos sit atop Super League and for the first time under Brad Arthur, they’re favourites to win the Grand Final.
The Rhinos, along with the last two champions in Wigan Warriors and Hull KR, have all been priced as having the same chances of winning the Super League Grand Final by the competition’s sponsor Betfred.
It marks the first time since 2023 that a team other than Hull KR or Wigan have been outright favourites to lift silverware at Old Trafford, and it’s a testament to the incredible transformation that the club have had under Brad Arthur.
Despite making the Super League Grand Final in 2022, where they lost to St Helens, Leeds have not won the competition in almost 10 years with the 2017 triumph under the newly-appointed England coach Brian McDermott the club’s last title.
Betfred make league leaders Leeds Rhinos 5/2 joint favourites alongside both Hull KR and Wigan Warriors, highlighting what could be the most open Super League competition in some time.

Super League play-off race predicted
Perhaps more interesting is that two other clubs are also shorter than 10/1 with both St Helens and Warrington Wolves, the teams currently sat in second and third respectively, made 7/1 shots.
Saints actually have the same points tally as Leeds but their points difference is a long way short of the Rhinos, who’s +174 is the best in the competition by some distance.
Third-place Warrington who sit two points behind Leeds but also have a game in hand boast a healthy +128 points difference.
Wakefield Trinity are currently the other side in the top six and they’re given a 33/1 chance to win the competition despite the fact that a win on Friday against Leeds would draw the teams level on points.
Leigh Leopards, Catalans Dragons and Hull FC are all seemingly in the frame for the play-offs but the competition’s five remaining teams are all made 1000/1 outsiders.
