Standings - 6 rounds to go...

[bartman]

Six games to go, plus the delayed Hull v Salford clash next weekend - and Wigan's cap breach penalty hearing on Wednesday.

After Round 21:

1 St Helens 21 15 0 6 640 315 (+325) 30
2 Leeds 21 14 0 7 539 398 (+141) 28
3 Bradford * 21 14 0 7 624 456 (+168) 26 - 2 point deduction
4 Wakefield 21 10 1 10 474 512 (-38) 21
5 Warrington 21 10 0 11 542 552 (-10) 20
6 Hull 20 9 2 9 374 400 (-26) 20 - game in hand v Salford

7 Harlequins 21 9 2 10 399 460 (-61) 20
8 Huddersfield 21 9 1 11 476 410 (+66) 19
9 Wigan * 21 11 0 10 461 404 (+57) 18 - 4 point deduction...
10 Catalans 21 7 1 13 433 547 (-114) 15
11 Hull KR 21 7 0 14 342 567 (-225) 14
12 Salford 20 6 1 13 333 616 (-283) 13 - game in hand v Hull

With 12 more points on offer, I'd say Huddersfield and above are still realistically in the running for playoffs? And St Helens, Leeds and almost Bradford are safely 1-2-3...

At the bottom end, it really looks like it's between Hull KR and Salford for the potential drop - and they play on Friday week in Round 22, winner gets their nose in front.

[JasonE]

Mate im tipping Wigan to lose 6 points which would put them back in the relegation mix, after that if they get any major injuries they will struggle.

 

[bartman]

Six points off would see Wigan right back in mire with little to play for in terms of making play-offs. Which could see them put themselves in further trouble depending whether they then drop their bundle completely....

 

[ExiledWool]

W*g*n will no doubt have something up their slimey sleeves and come out with 4 at worst......

 

[Jono078]

What happend to Salford?

Last year they were mixing it with the big guns, now theyre facing relegation.

 

[Dutchy]

Up The Trinity!!!

 

[bartman]

Adjusted to reflect Wigan's penalty and slide to 9th place...

If Hull beat Salford in this weekend's deferred macth they will find themselves in 4th position.

W*g*n will no doubt have something up their slimey sleeves and come out with 4 at worst......

I was right - now what are this week's lottery numbers
