I know moto748 this thread is a bit late, with the competition 3 Rounds in and the World Club Challenge come and gone with Wigan defeating the Sharks to take out bragging rights.

Wigan of course are defending champions, with Hull FC defending the Challenge Cup.

With the early games all over the place on Fox Sports, it will be good to have them in one place on Fox League from now on.

Will also be interesting to see how Bradford get on in the Championship after liquidation and their 12 point penalty and how the Toronto Wolfpack go in the Challenge Cup and League 1 with all the Travel they will have to do.

Great news for Wigan fans today, with our England half George Williams signing a new deal with the club that will keep him here till 2020. Many feared he would be off to the NRL at the end of this season, but it's great news for us, and for Superleague in general; even rival fans are saying he is the best player in SL. A local lad too, and the club have wisely used the new rulings from the RFL to name him as our second marquee player.

Just in time for the sell-out traditional Good Friday derby against Saints!

Toronto have got a team full of ex-SL players, and they are thrashing all comers in League One; they are up against semi-pro sides there, and it is really no contest. But as you say, it will be interesting to see how they go in the Challenge Cup.
