Super League X Regular Season Betting Odds

Super League champions Leeds will begin the defence of their title next season with a trip to Hull. The Rhinos, who beat Bradford 16-8 in October's Grand Final, will visit the KC Stadium on the opening day of the season - Friday, 11 February. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Super League X will again feature 28 rounds, with six additional sets of fixtures after each of the 12 teams have played each other twice. The format of teams playing the clubs who finished in their half the previous season for a third time has been replaced by a system of odd-numbered teams playing evens and vice versa. Looking at the early betting and the bookies make Leeds their favourites to retain the regular season title. The best price on offer is 11/8 with Bradford available at 2/1. St.Helens, for so long near the top in 2004 until suspensions took their toll, are an industry best of 6/1 at VCBet. The same firm go 9/1 on Wigan.
