Super League Showdown: Final Four Teams Gear Up for 2024 Season
The upcoming 2024 Betfred Super League season sees the spotlight on the final four teams as they prepare for what promises to be a thrilling campaign. These teams include Salford Red Devils, St Helens, Warrington Wolves, and reigning champions Wigan Warriors. Led by coach Paul Rowley and skipper Kallum Watkins, Salford Red Devils are gearing up for a challenging season following the departure of key players like Brodie Croft and Andy Ackers. However, the additions of talents such as Cade Cust, Nene Macdonald, and Ethan Ryan are expected to inject fresh energy into the team.
St Helens, guided by coach Paul Wellens and captain Jonny Lomax, are looking to reclaim their Super League dominance after a trophy-less 2023 season. With a renewed focus, the former champions aim to make a strong comeback with the signing of Daryl Clark and the impressive Jack Welsby secured until 2027. The absence of stalwart James Roby is a challenge they are ready to tackle head-on.
Warrington Wolves, under the tutelage of coach Sam Burgess and led by captain Stefan Ratchford, have a mix of unpredictability and latent talent. A promising start in 2023 was marred by setbacks, but the appointment of Burgess brings hope for a stronger showing. The team’s fortifications include acquisitions like Sam Powell, Toby King, and Wesley Bruines, setting the stage for an intriguing season.
Meanwhile, Wigan Warriors, managed by Matt Peet and captained by Liam Farrell, are riding high after a stellar 2023 season where they clinched both the League Leaders’ Shield and the Grand Final victory. The formidable lineup, enhanced by newcomers such as Adam Keighran, Sam Walters, and Kruise Leeming, positions Wigan as the team to beat in the upcoming Super League campaign.
