Pundit predictions: Who will win the Super League Grand Final 2024? | Rugby League News


Ahead of the Super League Grand Final 2024, the Sky Sports Rugby League pundits give their predictions on what will happen in the big game…

Jon Wilkin’s Grand Final predictions

Why is the Grand Final so exciting?

Support. The supporters, bumper crowd and a renewed interest in actually getting to the game has me more excited than ever before.

Imagine taking the atmosphere from the Brick and from Craven Park and dropping into the theatre of dreams. That excites me… a lot.

Jai Field. The easy answer would have been Bevan French but I’ve watched Jai start to move like he’s in fast-forward after a tough period of injuries.

A top-speed field at Old Trafford could send electricity into the stands. A little shout to Jake Wardell – his battle against Peta Hiku gets my juices going.

Magic Mikey Lewis. If he keeps his head when all around him are losing theirs, he’ll be more influential in the game as Mr Kipling’s mince pies on my waistline in 10 weeks.

Who will be crowned champions?

I really don’t know. There is an argument for both.

Wigan are favourites, but Hull KR may have a recipe to shut them right down. That being said, it’s hard to back against Wigan.

They are stacked, in physique and numbers, deep in strength, smooth as silk when it matters. I fancy Wigan but not by many.

Sam Tomkins’ Grand Final predictions

Why is the Grand Final so exciting?

We have two teams with different reasons to win. Wigan already hold all the trophies and don’t want to let go of any. Hull KR are desperate for silverware and their first-ever Grand Final win.

Junior Nsemba started the year as a young player proving himself. Since then he has developed into a star of Super League and a key player in this Wigan side.

Hull KR sing ‘a little respect’ ahead of their Super League semi-final against Warrington Wolves

Star Watch: Hull KR

Mikey Lewis is at the heart of everything Hull KR do and is expected to be the man to finally bring a trophy to East Hull.

Who will be crowned champions?

I think the experience that Wigan have in big games will be the difference and they will win the game by the smallest of margins.

Mikey Lewis barely holds back the tears after Hull KR reached their first Grand Final after victory over Warrington Wolves

Why is the Grand Final so exciting?

This year’s Grand Final will be one of the best for many years. The two best teams are going head-to-head in front of possibly the highest-ever attendance.

Will we see a new club leave as Super League champions for the first time or will we see Wigan Warriors complete an unprecedented quadruple? Either way, history awaits.

Star Watch: Wigan Warriors

You can’t look past Bevan French. Grand Finals are typically low-scoring games.

His magic and ability to come up with something out of nothing means that with French in your team, there’s a genuine match-winner.

Wigan Warriors star player Bevan French looks ahead to Saturday’s Grand Final against Hull KR at old Trafford and how he is relishing coming up against Mikey Lewis

Star Watch: Hull KR

Mikey Lewis is the man for the Robins. He just keeps on getting better and better.

This will be his biggest test yet but if he’s on then Hull KR will have a great chance to leave as champions.

Who will be crowned champions?

I think Wigan Warriors will be crowned Super League champions and complete the quadruple. Their squad is the best in the competition.

They have all played in big games and crucially know what it takes to win. Their ability to raise their game to the next level is something no other team in this league can match. 2024 belongs to the Warriors.
