It's been an exciting and somewhat unpredictable start to the season. Warrington, after such a torrid time of it last year, sit unbeaten at the top of the table, with reigning champions St Helens down in sixth after suffering last-minute defeats to Leeds and Leigh in consecutive weeks. Leigh themselves are certainly showing they are not here to make up the numbers and appear to be making more of a fist of it than they have in previous spells in the top flight. But let's face it, isn't this excitement and unpredictability what we all love about the game? Hopefully, this edition of Rugby League World has captured some of those feelings in another packed issue. Cover star Jack Welsby talks us through that incredible night in Sydney when Saints became only the second team to secure a World Club Challenge victory in Australia, while Hull KR’s NRL signing Jesse Sue talks about his move to East Yorkshire. With the Women’s Super League season ready to kick off, we take a club-by-club look at what we can expect for the coming campaign, which looks to take the game further than ever before on the back of a spectacular World Cup. Newly named York Valkyrie prepared for the new season with a trip to Poland and we get the inside track on how it went. As usual, we catch up with some of the leading names in both the Championship and League One, including a highly entertaining Quickfire Q & A with Sheffield’s Anthony Thackeray. We also have all the latest from across the world, with the NRL, France and Serbia all covered.
