Super League round two is complete, and despite the 2026 competition only being in it\u2019s infancy, there are plenty of injuries worries across every club.<\/p>\n
The likes of Toulouse Olympique and Bradford Bulls pulled off strong wins, whilst St Helens managed to find a way past Leigh Leopards.<\/p>\n
Wakefield Trinity took a marginal victory over Huddersfield Giants, whilst Leeds Rhinos found their form in a solid performance over York Knights.<\/p>\n
Hull FC\u2019s weekend was far from their usual standards, as they were overpowered by a dominant Wigan side. Their weekend was made worse with star man Will Pryce going off the field with a knee injury.<\/p>\n
