## Resource

We wrap the first round of the 2026 Super League season and look ahead to the World Club Challenge contest in Hull on Thursday night. The Hot Recap crew talk through a tight encounter between Hull FC and Bradford Bulls, Toulouse's trip to Wakefield Trinity and Wigan and Castleford opening the season at the Jungle. We give our winners, losers and teams of the week and then it's on to previewing Hull KR v Brisbane Broncos. We then wrap with our game picks for Round 2 of Super League. We'll be back with another Friday Night Recap this Friday! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
