UK Super League Table : 2024

The twenty seven match regular season has ended, too long in my opinion for such a physical sport. Regardless, Wigan secured the top spot for a second year in a row and along with the much improved Hull KR, will have the following week off. So securing a top two spot in the league is a useful advantage.

The next four now play a sudden death round, the winners advancing to play the top two. The top six from last year are much the same as this one, apart from Salford replacing the Catalan club. Salford box above their weight.

A couple of odd things I noticed this year. One is that eight of the twelve clubs had a positive points difference and that shows the bottom four were well off the pace. Adding to that, a tiering was evident. Usually points are spread down the table somewhat evenly. This season, the top three finished in a tight group, fourth to eighth another tier which all battled for a top six placing. 

Then the bottom four just making up the numbers and never looked finals candidates. That last group included two teams whose best hope was to avoid the wooden spoon, only points difference separating them. So there were two groups within the last one. 

The finals series will be covered once completed.
