New Season Super League Fixtures
It may just be a week since the final hooter went and Leeds Rhinos were crowned Super League champions, but it's all eyes on 2016 tonight - with the publication of the new season fixtures. The opening match of Super League XXI will see the reigning title holders host Warrington Wolves at Headingley on Thursday 4th February. Friday 5th February fixtures include Hull FC hosting Salford, St Helens entertaining Huddersfield and Wigan Warriors welcoming Catalans. The first weekend is completed on Sunday 7th February when Hull KR open up at home to Castleford and Widnes Vikings go to Wakefield. Super League General Manager Blake Solly said, "2015 was one of the best years ever for Super League and I am really looking forward to see if 2016 can be just as exciting. The new league structure is now into its second year and it gives every team the opportunity to create some incredible moments and memories.
“There is so much to look forward to in 2016 for Super League fans. We have three top teams from the NRL coming over to battle three of our top clubs in the World Club Series, a fantastic return to Newcastle for Magic Weekend in May, the Super 8s, the Million Pound Game and, of course, the Grand Final at Old Trafford, all of which I am sure will make for another exciting year.” Full fixtures for the 2016 Super League season are available at www.superleague.co.uk
