Super League 2026 – Round 13 preview, predictions and tips
After the excitement of the Challenge Cup Final last week, it’s back to Super League action this weekend. 12 sides got the weekend off, so they’ll be raring to go, with only Wigan Warriors and Hull KR in action last week.
They’re both in action on Saturday, and it’s a particularly special occasion for the Warriors, who’ll play in Paris for the first time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Catalans Dragons and the 30th anniversary of Super League.
More on that later, because Thursday night’s opener looks like it’ll be a cracker…

Thursday 4th June – Leeds Rhinos vs St Helens
Form guide
Leeds picked up a huge 52-0 win over Huddersfield in their last Super League outing. That made it six wins in seven games for the league leaders, who remain top of the table on points difference.
St Helens are hot on their heels in 3rd with an identical 9-3 record. They were surprisingly beaten 30-10 by Castleford in their last match. That defeat ended their five-game winning run.
Team news
Leeds welcome Jack Bird and Tom Holroyd back into the squad after injury. Zak Lloyd and Jacob Hardy drop out.
St Helens also make two changes this week. Noah Stephens drops out with concussion and Jackson Hastings serves the first of a two-game ban. George Whitby and Alfie Sinclair come into the squad.
My prediction – Leeds Rhinos 20-14 St Helens
This should be a tight game, but I’m leaning towards the home side at Headingley, although it could go either way.
Betting tips
Brodie Croft is well-priced at 15/8 for an anytime try. Leeds are 5/6 in the half-time/full-time market, which I’ll be getting on as well.
Friday 5th June – Warrington Wolves vs Hull FC
Form guide
Warrington have won their last four games to climb into 2nd. They’re only behind leaders Leeds on points difference, but they do have a game in hand.
As for Hull FC, they’ve lost their last three games as their year threatens to peter out at the halfway stage. They’re in 10th – six points off the play-off places.
Team news
Luke Yates, Sam Stone and James Bentley all drop out this week for Warrington. Yates is expected to miss the rest of the season with injury, while Bentley’s suspended.
Hull FC make two changes this week. Davy Litten and Joe Phillips drop out, with Amir Bourouh and Matty Laidlaw returning.
My prediction – Warrington Wolves 30-10 Hull FC
Anything other than a routine home win would be a surprise here. Anything can happen after a weekend off, but form points firnly at the Wire in this one.
Betting tips
There’s not loads of value in this at the moment, so I’ll back Josh Thewlis and Toby King for anytime tries when the market opens.
Friday 5th June – Bradford Bulls vs York Knights
Form guide
The Bulls were beaten 26-12 by Warrington in their last Super League outing. They’re 11th with a 4-8 record.
York are just one place and two points behind them. Their 36-22 loss to Catalans Dragons last time out was a third defeat in a row.
Team news
Ryan Sutton, Ebon Scurr, Guy Armitage and Ethan Ryan are all back for Bradford this week.
York Knights have Paul Vaughan, Liam Harris, and Jordan Thompson back from injury, plus Harvey Reynolds on loan from Newcastle. Paul McShane and Will Roberts both drop out.
My prediction – Bradford Bulls 18-12 York Knights
This is another game that should be close, but I’m edging towards the home side, just.
Betting tips
I’m not overly convinced by the Bulls’ -8 handicap, so I’m backing them to win by 1-7 at 4/1 and 8-14 at 10/3. If either of those come in, you’ll more than double your money.
Friday 5th June – Castleford Tigers vs Leigh Leopards
Form guide
Castleford pulled a surprise result out of the bag in their last Super League outing, as they beat St Helens 30-10. That victory has them sitting in 9th.
Meanwhile, Leigh made it four wins out of five with a comfortable 42-6 victory over Hull FC. They’re 7th – just two points off the play-off spots.
Team news
Jenson Windley is back for Castleford this week, while Jack Brown could make his Tigers debut after arriving from Hull KR. Mikaele Ravalawa and Semi Valemei drop out.
Robbie Mulhern and Aaron Pene are back for Leigh Leopards this week, but Umyla Hanley and Owen Trout miss out.
My prediction – Castleford Tigers 6-24 Leigh Leopards
I know Cas had a great win last time they played, but I can’t see them backing it up here. The Leopards are in fine form and they’ll have their eyes firmly fixed on the top six.
Betting tips
I’m backing Leigh with a -10 handicap at 1/1. I’ll also geton Josh Charnley for an anytime try when the market opens.
Saturday 6th June – Huddersfield Giants vs Toulouse Olympique
Form guide
The Giants have lost five in a row, including a 52-0 humbling at the hands of Leeds in their last game. They remain rock bottom with a 2-10 record.
Toulouse are just one place and two points above them with a 3-9 record. They were beaten 22-18 by Wakefield last time out.
Team news
George Flanagan, Asher O’Donnell and Connor Wrench return for the Giants this week.
John Toleafoa could make his Toulouse debut this week, after he arrived from from French side Albi.
My prediction – Huddersfield Giants 14-18 Toulouse Olympique
This is another game that’s hopefully going to be a tight affair. 12th vs 11th doesn’t sound that appealing on paper, but this could be an intriguing encounter. I’m leaning towards the French side, but really can’t split them.
Betting tips
Toulouse are big outsiders here, so I’m backing them to win at 12/5, as that price is just too good to ignore. I’ll be getting on an anytime try for Olly Ashall-Bott when the market opens as well.
Saturday 6th June – Wakefield Trinity vs Hull KR
Form guide
Wakefield’s 22-18 win over Toulouse last time out has them sitting in 5th, just two points off top spot.
Hull KR were heavily beaten in the Challenge Cup Final last weekend, 40-10, by Wigan. In Super League though, they’ve won seven in a row to sit 4th.
Team news
Wakefield make just one change this week, with Tom Johnstone replacing Will Tate in the squad.
Hull KR make two changes to the squad that lost to Wigan in the cup final last week. Dean Hadley failed his HIA in that game and Jack Brown has left the club to join Castleford. Ryan Hampshire comes in, and there could be a debut for former NRL star Tevita Pangai Jr.
My prediction – Wakefield Trinity 12-26 Hull KR
The Robins will be looking to bounce back quickly from last week’s disappointing cup final defeat, so I’m expecting a reaction here.
Betting tips
Rovers are just 4/5 for the win, so I’m straight on that. I’ll back a Mikey Lewis anytime try when the market opens as well.
Saturday 6th June – Catalans Dragons vs Wigan Warriors
Form guide
Catalans ended a three-game losing run last time out to beat York, 36-22. They’re 8th heading into this historic game in Paris.
Wigan come into the game on a real high after last week’s 40-10 Challenge Cup Final victory over Hull KR. They’re 6th in Super League, just two points clear of the chasing pack.
Team news
Tommy Makinson, Lewis Dodd and Julian Bousquet replace Lenny Marc, Alexis Lis and Adrian Delarose for the Dragons this week.
Wigan have made three changes from the cup final squad. George Marsden, Nathan Lowe and George O’Loughlin rcome in for Bevan French, Harry Smith and Sam Walters.
My prediction – Catalans Dragons 6-20 Wigan Warriors
These two sides can be so inconsistent, it’s hard to know which way this could go. The Dragons have picked up a little recently with John Cartwright steadying the ship, while Wigan are missing three big names for this one. I’m still backing the Warriors here though. They’ll be buzzing after last week’s Wembley win and they need to go on a run to cement their top six spot.
Betting tips
I’m backing Noah Hodkinson and Jake Wardle for anytime tries when the market opens.
