A NEW season of Super League kicked off on Thursday night with an eventful Hull derby, won by the team from the east of the city, Hull Kingston Rovers.
The encounter set the scene for the 2024 campaign, which is one of the most eagerly anticipated in some time, in part due to expanded TV deals and unprecedented global access to each game.
The BBC will be showing Super League games for the first time, broadcasting 10 games via its TV channels and a further five via its digital services and website.
