Wigan top table but NRL partnership looms for Super League

Wigan currently leads the Super League table, but a significant off-field shift is imminent as the NRL prepares to take over administrative control from 2027.

The proposed deal, stalled throughout the summer, is now on the verge of approval after a meeting on Friday. In exchange for £35m over five years, the Australian governing body will assume administrative control to drive forward the competition's prospects. cat-cross.com
