This weekend’s action concluded with a big game between Leeds Rhinos and Warrington Wolves but there were big games between Wigan Warriors and Hull FC, Wakefield Trinity and Castleford Tigers and the top of the table between Leigh Leopards and Catalans Dragons.
It was a big weekend at every level of the table with crucial wins in the race at the top as well as the battle for the play-offs and of course the fight for Super League survival.
Speaking of which, Castleford Tigers took an almighty step towards safety by defeating Wakefield Trinity 28-12 with a Greg Eden hat-trick proving key.
Elsewhere on Friday night we saw a booming Harry Smith drop goal break Hull FC hearts as he made amends for three misses with the boot which would have won the game in normal time.
Salford Red Devils took a vital step towards the play-offs by defeating Huddersfield Giants which was made more important by the defeat for Hull KR at St Helens.
Then on Saturday, we saw Leigh Leopards unable to match French side Catalans Dragons. The Dragons took a four point lead at the top of the league with the win and officially secured their play-off spot.

Meanwhile, the attendance at Huddersfield against Salford remains unconfirmed.
