With Hull KR on top of the world after World Club Challenge victory over Brisbane Broncos can Super League capitalise?

The best of one competition up against the best of another. You would think that would be a pretty even contest; however, that misses the context of rugby league.

In Australia, the NRL are the top dog- they have a huge salary cap, massive budgets, sporting stars recognised wherever they go, and a competition that is known country-wide.

Then, turn your attention to Super League. The clubs exist with around a third of the salary cap of their Australian compatriots, they are surrounded by massive football clubs that take the spotlight, and they fight at every turn for all the attention they get.

Once again, after fighting to grab the spotlight, they made sure it stayed on them.

Somehow, with grit, desire, and determination, Hull KR raced ahead against the Broncos and held off what looked to be an incredible comeback to secure a 30-24 victory and become the fifth ever Super League team to win the World Club Challenge.

They were shattered, with only their heart carrying them over the line. The normally brash Mikey Lewis laid on the halfway line when the win was confirmed, taking it in.

Super League, when elevated into the limelight, usually delivers on their promise that they deserve their moment. Hull KR repaid on their promise in spades.
