With Hull KR's triumphant World Club Challenge win over the Brisbane Broncos, the question arises: can Super League seize this opportunity?
This match showcased the best of one league against the best of another, but context is vital in rugby league.
NRL reigns supreme in Australia, boasting a substantial salary cap, enormous budgets, and sporting celebrities recognizable nationwide.
In contrast, Super League clubs operate on about a third of that salary cap, overshadowed by dominant football clubs and constantly vying for attention.
Yet, after striving for the limelight, they captivated the world once more.
With immense grit and determination, Hull KR surged past the Broncos, fending off a thrilling comeback to clinch a 30-24 victory, marking them as only the fifth Super League team to win the World Club Challenge.
Exhausted, they crossed the finish line solely driven by their heart, with the usually boisterous Mikey Lewis sprawled on the halfway line, savoring the moment.
