Top six all set

[bartman]

...just the order of 5th and 6th left to decide.

Round 28:
Harlequins v Salford (Sat)
Warrington v St Helens (Sun)

are the games that will decide the play-off match ups.

With Salford on +83 and Warrington on +30, it's all in Salford's hands. Win and they've got an away match at Bradford, lose and they might have an away match at Leeds - but only if Warrington happen to knock off Saints.

Otherwise you can just lock in Leeds v Warrington and Bradford v Salford for Week 1 now.

Barring an upset, the play-offs look like this:

Week One:
Leeds v Warrington
Bradford v Salford

Week Two:
St Helens v Hull
Week One winners play

Week Three:
Loser St H/Hull v Winner Wk1 winners' match

Week Four:
Winner St H/Hull v Winner Wk3

Saints red hot favourites I'd imagine, but their two most vital games lie ahead of them yet... otherwise the big lead amounts to nothing.

Bradford v Salford

Do the losers drop out ?

come on u Reds

Do the losers drop out ?

come on u Reds

Yep all the games involving Leeds, Bradford, Warrington and Salford are sudden death.

The only teams that can play on after a defeat are Saints and Hull, the loser of their game having a home game against the team that won the other game in week 2.
