The Hot Recap crew deliver the third and final part of our 2026 Betfred Super League season preview!

On the news front, the boys discuss Shaun Wane's exit and outline which coaches could take the helm at England RL for this year's World Cup.

It's straight into our season previews then when we answer the questions; Are Hull KR the favourites for the 2026 Super League title? Are the Leeds Rhinos facing a now or never season? Is anyone in a better place to challenge for silverware than Leigh Leopards? What is Paul Rowley going to do to fix St Helens and can Toulouse compete with their assembled squad for the new season?
