We're back!

The Hot Recap crew are ready for a third year of rugby league podcasting and kick it all off with the first of our three-part preview into the 2026 Betfred Super League season.

The boys start with a quick refresher of news from the festive period as Salford and Featherstone race to get ready for the Championship season, Umyla Hanley looks set to be one of the biggest targets for the 2027 recruitment cycle and the NRL mulls seismic changes to play for this year.

It's then on to our preview where we ask: What should Bradford's expectations be on their return to Super League? Are Castleford the most interesting team of the offseason? Is Toby Sexton one of the most underrated Super League signings for Catalans? Is this the year that Huddersfield bounce back? And why there are suddenly big expectations on Hull FC for this year.

We'll be back with Part 2 of our season preview next week!
