Power Rankings: Wakefield Trinity top as Leigh Leopards, Wigan Warriors climb the ladder
The 35 clubs across Super League, the Championship and League 1 are all in the running to be involved, with solely on-field performance affecting the rankings (we’re not IMG!).
Our latest top 10 of the campaign is below, with all competitive games to this point taken into account.
For Super League clubs, that’s their performances across the 25 rounds played out so far and the Challenge Cup.
Meanwhile, the Championship season got underway in March, and 23 rounds have been played out to date. And in League 1, the regular season has now concluded.
Clubs in the bottom two divisions had also already played games in the 1895 Cup and Challenge Cup this year prior to their league campaigns beginning.
Sylvain Houles’ side are a new entry in our Power Rankings after getting their season back on track. The French side have won their last two games after going on a three-game losing streak, with their latest win being a 36-24 scoreline at Barrow Raiders. Toulouse are currently sat second in the Championship table: 13 points behind league leaders Wakefield Trinity and one point above third-placed Bradford Bulls.
9. Rochdale Hornets (DOWN 1)
The Hornets have dropped down a place in our top 10 this week: but that’s through no fault of their own. Gary Thornton’s side have ensured they’ve got home advantage in the play-offs thanks to a third place finish. Winning their five of their last six overall, Rochdale are THE form team heading into the League 1 play-offs, with their points return over the last five bettered only by champions Oldham.
Bradford secured an impressive 30-12 victory against Sheffield Eagles on Sunday afternoon, extending their run to just one defeat in their last six outings. Eamon O’Carroll’s side are now within one competition point of second-placed Toulouse Olympique with three rounds of the regular campaign remaining.
