Super League Round 24 Predictions 2026: Best Handicap Tips


Super League Round 24 features some sizeable handicap lines, with Leigh, Wigan and Leeds all heavily favoured, while Hull FC provide the standout upset opportunity as underdogs against Catalans.

Here are our Super League Round 24 predictions and handicap tips for every game.

Leigh Leopards vs Bradford Bulls

Prediction: Leigh Leopards
Handicap Tip: Leigh Leopards -24.5

Leigh have won four of their last five while Bradford have lost five straight against a brutal run of top-six opposition. Bradford have averaged just 10 points across those defeats and now face another strong defensive side. Leigh should control territory through their stronger pack and have been executing well enough in attack to expose Bradford's struggling defence, making Leigh -24.5 the pick despite the sizeable line.

Wigan Warriors vs Wakefield Trinity

Prediction: Wigan Warriors
Handicap Tip: Wakefield Trinity +20.5

Wigan remain the team to beat and enter this matchup on a long winning run, with their defence particularly impressive. Wakefield face a major challenge generating enough attacking opportunities, especially with changes potentially affecting their execution, but the 20.5-point start is substantial for a side capable of competing through the middle. Wigan should win, but Wakefield +20.5 gets the slight preference against the handicap.

St Helens vs Castleford Tigers

Prediction: St Helens
Handicap Tip: Castleford Tigers +14.5

Neither side has been particularly trustworthy recently, with both winning two of their last five. Saints should have the advantage through the middle and their ability to break tackles could cause problems for a Castleford side that has struggled with missed tackles. However, Castleford have shown enough improvement in attack to make this competitive for periods, so Castleford +14.5 looks preferable despite Saints being tipped to win.


Hull KR vs Toulouse Olympique

Prediction: Hull KR

Hull KR should have a significant advantage against a Toulouse side that has dropped away considerably after an encouraging spell of form. KR should be able to restrict Toulouse's metres, dominate field position and create repeated attacking opportunities against a defence that has started leaking points. With Toulouse also dealing with changes through their spine, Hull KR are the clear pick to win.

Catalans Dragons vs Hull FC

Prediction: Hull FC
Handicap Tip: Hull FC +6.5

The market has Catalans as 6.5-point favourites, but Hull FC look capable of producing the upset. FC have the stronger pack, while Aidan Sezer and Jake Arthur give them the kicking game to control territory and keep Catalans pinned inside their own end. Catalans could fight back later, particularly at home, but Hull appear to have the better matchup through the middle and more cohesion in attack, making Hull FC +6.5 one of the stronger handicap selections of the round.

Warrington Wolves vs Huddersfield Giants

Prediction: Warrington Wolves

This could be one of the tighter games of Round 24, with both teams showing considerable improvement. Huddersfield's increased physicality and faster attack should create opportunities, but Warrington have also improved through the middle and are generating quicker play-the-balls and more offloads. With their spine continuing to build cohesion, Warrington get the nod in what should be a competitive contest.

York Knights vs Leeds Rhinos

Prediction: Leeds Rhinos
Handicap Tip: Leeds Rhinos -16.5

Leeds should dominate field position against a York side that has won just one of its last five. Their defensive line speed should restrict York's ability to generate metres, while Leeds have too many players capable of breaking tackles, producing offloads and extending attacking sets. York could create the occasional opportunity, but they are likely to spend long periods defending their own line, making Leeds -16.5 the preferred handicap play.
