Entering the final four rounds of Super League and everything is still to play for and now the referee appointments for Round 24 have been confirmed.
There are three teams battling it out for the League Leaders Shield and perhaps more importantly a home semi-final, whilst those placed from fourth through eighth are separated by just four points.
The wooden spoon is also still in play with Hull FC and London Broncos level on points at the foot of the table whilst ninth and tenth-placed Huddersfield and Castleford still look set to play a massive role in how the playoffs shape up.
In fact the Giants play a struggling St Helens side on Sunday in the final game of the round whilst Castleford take on Hull FC the day before, a game that the Black and Whites will surely fancy.
The action gets underway on Friday night though with two heavyweight matchups. Leigh Leopards will look to move into the top six for the first time all season when they host Warrington Wolves, whilst league leaders Hull KR look to keep marching on as they host Salford Red Devils.
Arguably the game of the round comes on Saturday evening when Wigan Warriors travel to France to face Catalans Dragons in a repeat of last year’s Grand Final. A vulnerable Catalans could slip out of the top six if results go against them.
The remaining game sees playoff hopefuls Leeds Rhinos travel to face London Broncos who will be looking to put on a show in their final home game of the season.
Referee appointments for the six Super League games have now been confirmed.
