With the regular Super League season now finished, the Super 8s begin with the final seven matches to determine the play-off picture as we build up to the Grand Final.

League leaders Castleford are looking to seal the League Leaders Shield for the side finishing top of the table, and they open up the weekend’s action with a clash against St Helens – who are currently just one point off a top-four place.

Second placed Leeds entertain Wigan on Friday, currently three points clear. The Warriors are in seventh and cannot afford too many defeats in the run-in if they want to retain any hopes of a play-off spot.

Hull in third entertain fourth-placed Salford, both looking to cement their places in the play-off spots. A win for fifth placed Wakefield at Huddersfield will see them move into the top-four.
