As the year draws to a close, we look back at the biggest, best and most emotional moments from the 2024 Super League season.
February
The 2024 season started with the most exciting victories for Super League. In February, Jake Wardle's converted try was the difference as Wigan Warriors cruised to a stunning 16-12 victory over Penrith Panthers to win the World Club Challenge.
The win saw Wigan crowned club world champions for the fifth time and kept the Panthers waiting for their first win in the competition after losing to St Helens on home soil following a golden goal from Lewis Dodd a year earlier.
“Tonight, off the field and on the field, is the result of a lot of hard work and we have to do it over and over again right now,” Warriors head coach Matt Peet said.
“It's not just about winning awards, it's about packing this place out and standing for something.”
March
It can't be a season review without it! The Good Friday derby between St Helens and Wigan delivered as it always does in March, the rival teams separated by eight miles and one big hill going toe to toe again.
It was a big win for St Helens as they ended Wigan Warriors' 15-game winning streak with a dramatic 12-4, Wigan's Liam Byrne seeing red for a high shot on Mark Percival.
“When these games are close and nail-biting like that, there's no better view,” St Helens head coach Paul Wellens said.
“You have to stand up to pressure at times and I thought we did that really well, and in the end we came out strong in the end.”
April
In April, we saw one of Super League's most decorated coaches leave Hull FC after 18 months in charge. Yes, on April 11, Hull FC parted ways with head coach Tony Smith by mutual consent after a poor start to the Super League season.
At the time the black and whites were sitting in second place in the table and it was in the end that they would end the regular season.
“I want to wish the club and all the players the best of luck in the future,” Smith said in a statement released by the club.
“It's disappointing not to be able to see the work which was always a challenging project – and I enjoyed having the opportunity.
“I wish everyone at the club all the best for the future.”
May
In May, London Broncos recorded their first win of the Super League season with a 34-18 home win over Hull FC.
The Broncos had secured shock promotion to Super League after making a dramatic run from fifth in the competition to beat Toulouse Olympique to promotion.
The Broncos didn't need it up to this stage of the season but ended the drought by running in six tries against the struggling black and whites.
June
“In a world full of misery, you have to dream.” That's what Rob Burrow CBE has done in a high-reel career that few can surpass. Ahead of Leeds Rhinos vs Leigh Leopards in June, his boyhood club and Sky Sports paid tribute to the “little hero” who left a big mark.
On World MND Awareness Day, Headingley Stadium was filled with emotion as family, friends and fans came together to celebrate Leeds' greatest ever number 7, who raised millions for the disease he battled bravely since it was confirmed in 2019.
Sky Sports Rugby League's Jamie Jones-Buchanan described the moment as Burrow's “brothers and sisters” taking the tribute into the “inner sanctum” which they did, along with his wife Lindsey Burrow , his parents Irene and Geoff Burrow, as well as 80 of the former. teammates coming from as far as Australia and New Zealand to celebrate his legacy.
July
As the Broncos continued to improve, July marked a heartbreaking but impressive match between the London outfit and Leeds Rhinos.
For the first of two, YES TWO, times this season, the Broncos were beaten by Leeds in golden point extra time.
The drama!
August
In August, Super League hit the road again for two days of action-packed weekend magic at Elland Road in Leeds.
Rugby League fans packed the stands as Wigan took on Saints in an always fiery derby, London picked up another big win against Hull, and Leigh Leopards dominated Salford Red Devils.
September
There were many highlights in September, but our highlight has to be when George Williams was the hero for Warrington Wolves with a golden point goal as they completed a brilliant comeback to beat St Helens 23- 22 in the Betfred Super League play-off. delete
After having one goal attempt dropped in spectacular fashion by Morgan Knowles, Williams missed his second chance four minutes into added time to put Sam Burgess' side 80 minutes away from a place in the Final.
The Wolves, who had suffered many last gasp victories from the Saints over the years, got their ultimate revenge.
October
In October, the quarter was confirmed and Wigan Warriors cemented their legacy with a 9-2 win over Hull KR in the Final.
Wigan once again wrote their name into the history books, their star player Bevan French picking up the first Rob Burrow man of the match award, his solo effort in the first half the difference between the two side.
