If there is one thing rugby league has taught us over the years, it’s that you should never take anything for granted. And this year’s Grand Finals certainly proved that.
Wakefield Trinity gave us an unforgettable and historic evening at a sold out Old Trafford, while York Valkyrie showed once again just what a special team they have become, shocking Wigan to claim a remarkable Women’s Super League title. There were celebrations, tears and plenty of stories worth telling, and we’ve tried to capture as many of them as possible in this issue.
We’ve also got the story of London Broncos’ Championship Grand Final showdown with Doncaster, and while the men’s team wait in limbo, their women’s team have been celebrating promotion. Further afield, Sydney Roosters achieved something extraordinary by claiming both the NRL and NRLW titles. Not a bad way to finish a season!
But while we’re looking back at those achievements, there’s also something very exciting happening on the international stage.
Our cover stars are England’s wheelchair team, who head to Australia determined to defend the World Cup trophy they won so memorably in 2022.
Who could forget those incredible scenes in Manchester four years ago? It was one of the defining moments in the history of wheelchair rugby league, and now Tom Coyd and his players have the opportunity to do it all again.
Of course, four years is a long time in sport. There are familiar faces, exciting newcomers and some tough opposition standing between England and another world title, not least a formidable French side who will be seeking revenge.
We’ve got a comprehensive preview of the tournament inside, alongside plenty more from across the rugby league world.
So whether you’re still celebrating, wondering what might have been or already looking forward to the next big occasion, we hope there’s something here for you to enjoy.
