It was not entirely a case that the mastery’s show here followed the shine and glamor of Las Vegas – and what could happen next – Super League returned to the weekly hustle and bustle in the nuclear lands here in Hull.
These are constantly changing times for the competition: on and off the field. From this there are serious murmurs of the NRL, which may buy the Super League to revolutionize the assets of the competition, whereby the managers of both leagues in Vegas discuss a deal last week.
We will see on Sunday how Wigan and Warrington are aligned with their journey through the Atlantic, but all 12 clubs were invited to have an interest in playing in Vegas next year. Both Hull FC and Leigh Leopards would be interested in their chances of claiming one of the two places offered.

Not least because both of them started the season in encouraging. There were various expectations in the pre -season of the two, since Hull won only three games in 2024 and took 11th place, while Leigh made the playoffs and was only beaten by later master Wigan.
They both had great incentives to win here. Hull was at home for eight months without winning, but is revived under John Cartwright, two victories from her first three games. Leigh now knew – now a real force on the upper level of the Super League – would bring victory here for the first time the top of the Super League.
And somehow one of the most incredible games they will probably see, up to Golden Point, but still not a winner. Hull was great all evening, embodied by the fact that they had 11 men in a phase in the first half, but were still used by six at half -time.
Leigh full -back David Armstrongs Two attempts seemed to have won the leopards before a late Lewis Martin sent it to the extension. Despite a series of near-misses for both sides, however, it could not find a decisive game for the win and produce the first draw of Super League from 2025. Both would argue that this was a fair result.
With all the hype and the excitement for this great game, the Las Vegas Fanfare and the wonderful unpredictability on the Super League Summit, there are still problems: Not least about the Red Devils by Salford Red Devils. Her players were paid on Thursday evening a week later than planned, which will at least continue the game on Friday in Castleford.
But since the Red Devils are still imposed in special measures and among the salary restrictions imposed by the RFL, she confirms that the Super League should be controlled by the NRL to solve them more than a few problems.
