If Rugby League teams were football clubs who would Liverpool and Everton be?
Rugby League is coming to Anfield next weekend (May 25-26). Dacia Magic Weekend is set for Liverpool. Super League experts give us their tongue-in-cheek rundown on how the teams in action compare to their football counterparts.
If Rugby League teams were football clubs, Liverpool and Everton would be.
Castleford Tigers are a Super League team. They often make it to the top four at the end of the season. However, their trophy cabinet is not very impressive.
Catalans Dragons are a team similar to Arsenal. They have won the Challenge Cup and got a place at the Europa League Final at Camp Nou.
Huddersfield Giants are a rugby league team. They have some of the loudest and rowdiest fans. Their season has been inconsistent, but they have won against Wigan and Castleford Tigers.
Hull FC earn more points in away games than home games this season. If Rugby League teams were football clubs, they would be Liverpool and Everton.
Brighton are big rivals of Crystal Palace. Hull KR are also fighting for their place in Super League for next season.
Leeds Rhinos won the treble in the last two seasons. They are struggling in 2019.
London Broncos were promoted into Super League in 2019. Like Newcastle United, they beat the odds and took points off the defending champions.
Salford Red Devils are a team that has been consistent and has proved themselves when taking points off top teams.
St Helens have had a great start to the season. They dominate the league but can be knocked out the cup by the underdogs.
Wakefield Trinity have won five Challenge Cups but haven't won the title since the new era of Super/Premier League.
Warrington Wolves made it to both the Challenge Cup and Super League Final in 2018 but didn't win any silverware.
Wigan Warriors will play Catalans Dragons in the Europa League Final at Camp Nou on Saturday at 3.15 pm. There will be no Premier League action, Line of Duty has concluded and Love Island is not on until June. Catalan Dragons won the Challenge Cup last year and Wigan won Super League Grand Final.
