Super League Grand Final odds: Wigan favourites to end Tomkins dream

Wigan are looking to kick off a new era of Super League dominance while a Sam Tomkins-inspired Catalans Dragons hope to take rugby league’s biggest domestic trophy back to France for the first time.

Here we pick out five key talking points and look at the Super League Grand Final odds ahead of Saturday’s showdown at Old Trafford.

Sam slam

Tomkins admitted prior to the play-off semi-final that he dreamed of finishing his career by lining up against the team with whom he won three previous Grand Finals.

The Catalans playmaker has got his wish but will have no room for sentiment as he looks to lead his current side to an historic first win, especially considering his team are the 11/8 underdogs in the Super League Grand Final odds

French Revolution

After falling short in the final two years ago, Steve McNamara’s Catalans are in a stronger place to take the sport’s biggest domestic trophy back to France for the first time.

The impact of such a win should not be understated and could only have positive repercussions for the profile of the sport in the south of France.

Culture club

The sport’s dominant force throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, Wigan were forced to watch in pain as St Helens wrested control with four back-to-back Grand Final wins.

With strong recruitment already in place for next season, the feeling is a Wigan win could spark a spell at the top to match that of their vanquished rivals. Wigan go into the match as 4/6 favourites in the Grand Final 2023 betting and are 4/7 for victory including overtime.
