#140: Super League Returns to Paris, London Score 134 & Origin Squads Announced

In this week’s episode of the League Express Podcast, Editor Martyn Sadler and Host Jake Kearnan discuss all the major talking points from a busy weekend of Rugby League action across Super League and beyond.

The pair react to Super League’s return to Paris, as the Wigan Warriors took on the Catalans Dragons, and analyse what the event means for the game’s growth in France. They also break down Wakefield Trinity’s dramatic late victory over Hull KR, including the controversy surrounding two red cards, and discuss Leeds Rhinos’ impressive win over St Helens.

Martyn and Jake debate whether London Broncos should be promoted to Super League next season after their incredible 134-point victory over North Wales, and what a return to the top flight would mean for the sport in the capital.

The episode also covers the latest off-field developments, including the search for the next RFL CEO, Matty Lees signing with the PNG Chiefs, Brad Arthur remaining as Leeds Rhinos head coach, and Toby King’s move to London.

To round things off, they analyse the squads selected for State of Origin Game Two, discussing the biggest selection calls and key battles ahead of the series.
