RUGBY LEAGUE: Leeds are bet365’s 10/11 ahead of Sunday’s World Club Challenge but their unconvincing start to the season suggests that Melbourne Storm are the best bet at 11/10 (Betfred).
In Super League, Leeds’ remain 6/4 at 888Sport to win the regular season title after beating Salford 22-10 on Friday night. St Helens, who won 24-12 at the Catalan Dragons, are up to fourth place and can be backed at 10/3 at Paddy Power whilst Wigan (13/2 Betfred) and Warrington (8/1 Sportingbet)follow in the betting, the Warriors having stolen a march on the Wolves with a somewhat surprising 22-20 victory in Warrington on Saturday.
There was a further shock on Sunday when Celtic Crusaders hung on to beat Hull 18-16 to record back to back victories. Brian Nobles side are up to eighth in the early season table and have seen their odds eased to 5/2 by Skybet to finish bottom of the pile. Salford are Coral‘s even money favourites for the wooden spoon.
