WARRINGTON Wolves have been placed third favourites to be crowned champions in the Utility Super league Grand Final at Old Trafford on Saturday, October 10 – behind arch rivals Wigan and St Helens.
Rugby League’s official betting partner Ladbrokes have placed Wigan Warriors as 11/4 favourites to be crowned champions while champions St Helens, who defeated their arch rivals in a memorable Grand Final last October, are second favourites at 7/2 to stage a successful defence and lift the trophy for a record seventh time.
With some strong signings in the off-season Warrington Wolves are third favourites at 4/1 and will be looking to make up for the disappointment of Grand Final defeats in 2012 and 2013.
Wigan winger Josh Charnley is 4/1 favourite to top the try-scoring charts in 2015 closely followed by Catalans’ talented French full-back Morgan Escare at 6/1 and last year’s top try-scorer, Warrington Wolves newly-appointed Captain Joel Monaghan (pictured right) 6/1.
At 16/1 Wigan Warriors are also firm favourites to lift the Super League trophy and the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup in the same year.
They are closely followed by St Helens at 20/1, Warrington Wolves at 25/1 and Leeds Rhinos at 28/1.
Warrington kick start their season this coming Saturday (Feb 7) when they entertain Salford at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
