How sweet it is to watch both St Helens and Penrith go down by a point each. The only thing that could have made that combo better is if Wigan had sunk Saints instead of Leeds.

We were a little poor after the world cup with so many involved but here we are , you must be delighted

Here's the standings as we take a break for the CC semis this weekend. Leigh still proving the doubters wrong and the team of the season. Warrington fallen off a cliff, St's gathering momentum and pretty tight in the middle as 9 teams could still make the top 6 playoffs. Wakey still faves to go down but Cas fans must be getting a little nervous!

Back to superleague action this week after the excitement of last weeks challenge cup

thurs night
Giants 19- Hull fc 12

 

[Perth Red]

Cracking game between St’s and Leeds last night, well worth a watch. St’s came out on top to keep there top 4 goals alive.

elsewhere Hull KR put aside any fear of a semi final hangover to come out on top over cas 34-16 in front of a loud Craven Park crowd.

 

[Perth Red]

Big win for wakey over the wolves and a loss for cas at HKR makes the relegation battle much closer now.

Wigan hitting a real nice purple patch at the right time.

 

[Perth Red]

Boringly is looking like another wigan v St’s final. Hopefully someone can upset them both.

 

[TDD91]

Saints still potentially have to win at Catalans in the playoffs to make the final, depending on how the last 2 rounds go for league positions.

I think/hope Wigan have 1st wrapped up though

 

[Perth Red]

An exciting round for SuperLeague as we get to the business end of the season. HKR keep top 6 hopes very much alive with a win away at Giants, Leigh go down to a resurgent St's, Cas get a massive win for their survival hopes, Salford keep their playoff hopes alive with a big win over the faltering Wolves, Dragons get back to wining ways and put another nail in Wakeys relegation coffin and Wigan embarrass the Rhinos at home as they become the form team at the top (jointly) of the table.
