A supercomputer has ran 10,000 simulations to predict how the 2026 Super League season will go with bold calls for Hull KR and Bradford Bulls.<\/p>\n

Each side has been predicted to have contrasting campaigns with Hull KR having a 61.8% chance of topping the Super League table, whilst Bradford have been made a whopping 64.8% chance of finishing at the foot of the table.<\/p>\n

AceOdds<\/a> have used a supercomputer that accounts for team strength and the ratings for each Super League club, with a total of 10,000 simulations ran in order to rule out anomalous results.<\/p>\n

Of those 10,000 simulations, it\u2019s Hull KR who lift the Super League trophy<\/a> at Old Trafford over 5,300 times with the Robins handed a 54.3% chance of reclaiming their crown. The data also makes them\u00a0 61.8% chance of topping the table, with just 0.1% of simulations seeing them fall outside the play-offs.<\/p>\n

At the other end of the table, it\u2019s bad reading for Bradford Bulls fans who are deemed 64.8% likely to finish 14th despite making over a dozen signings following promotion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Bradford and Castleford Tigers are the only teams who have less than 0.1% chance of making the top six with the supercomputer charting the chances of each club finishing in each position. Toulouse Olympique are expected to do best of the promoted teams with a 10th-placed finish predicted.<\/p>\n

Wakefield Trinity and Hull FC have the widest range with Trin made a 0.1% of finishing both first and 12th, and a larger chance of everything in between with 6th their most likely finishing spot (42.4%). As for Hull FC, they\u2019re made 0.1% chances for third and 14th, with an eight-placed finish their likeliest landing spot (27.3%).<\/p>\n

Behind Hull KR, it\u2019s Wigan who are deemed the biggest challengers. Matt Peet\u2019s side have a 24.2% chance of finishing first and a 25.5% chance of being champions. Leigh Leopards are surprise third favourites per the supercomputer, listed as having a 10.8% chance.<\/p>\n

St Helens (5.1%), Leeds Rhinos (3.4%), Wakefield Trinity (0.6%) and Catalans Dragons (0.2%) are the only other teams deemed to have any chance of winning in the Super League Grand Final.<\/p>\n

Below is a predicted table with the percentage noted the chances of that team finishing in that postition. It\u2019s worth noting that both St Helens and Leeds Rhinos are listed as having a 27.0% of finishing fourth, though Leeds are deemed 28.4% likely to finish fifth whilst Saints are 27.1% likely to finish in that position.<\/p>\n
