The 2023 Super League season saw Wigan's Bevan French take home the Steve Prescott Man of Steel award, a well-deserved honor for the talented player.

However, St Helens' Jack Welsby also made a significant impact with his ability to create opportunities on the field.

At just 22 years old, Welsby has already made history as England's youngest-ever captain and is considered one of the most complete players in English rugby league.

Abbas Miski, who was playing in the Championship just two years ago, emerged as the joint-top scorer in Super League with 27 tries, showcasing his impressive rise in the sport.

Additionally, St Helens' victory over Penrith in the World Club Challenge sent shockwaves through the rugby league community, solidifying their position as the world's best side.

Despite this, the international game faced challenges, with Samoa announcing their decision not to tour England in 2024, leaving the national team without a competitive fixture.

The season also had its share of memorable moments, including the postponement of a League 1 game due to a milk spillage caused by a lorry overturning on the M6, and a pitch invasion by a bull owned by the Catalans chairman during a game against St Helens.

Overall, the 2023 Super League season was filled with standout performances, unexpected events, and memorable highlights.
