This weekend was always going to be a massive one with Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors locking horns, Warrington Wolves taking on Salford Red Devils in a huge clash in the play off race and Leigh Leopards showing what they can do against St Helens whilst Castleford Tigers claimed a vital win over Hull FC in the relegation scrap.
With two rounds left, it was a vitally important weekend in Super League and this was underlined by Huddersfield Giants’ chances of making the play offs ending at the hands of Hull KR whilst Wakefield Trinity were pushed towards the trap door by defeat to Catalans Dragons.
The action started at Belle Vue where a valiant Wakefield fell 18-0 down. Though they finished with a flourish, they went on to suffer defeat 18-10.
Elsewhere on Friday night, Castleford Tigers stormed to victory over Hull FC helped by a drop goal and a brilliant brace of tries from the young Jason Qareqare.
A defeat for Hull FC but their rivals Hull KR further cemented their play off spot as they defeated Huddersfield Giants to end their own play off hopes.
But the main event on Friday night was indeed the clash between Leigh Leopards and St Helens which was one of the games of the season and showed that both of them can compete when it comes to the end of the season.
Saturday though saw the big game but it was something of a squash match as Wigan Warriors ran in nine tries against Leeds Rhinos with Jake Wardle scoring a hat trick to humiliate the Rhinos and hand them one of their worst ever defeats.
Lastly on Sunday, Warrington suffered golden point heart ache against Salford.
But today focus will shift onto the disciplinary panel and their verdicts so who could be waiting nervously?
Well Jake Connor after an altercation and Jack Ashworth for a late hit were both sin binned and could both face a nervous wait.
As could Sam Eseh after his yellow card against Catalans Dragons but there were questions over a tackle from Ben Garcia in the same game.
Davy Litten could also be in trouble for Hull FC whilst Mark Percival for his high tackle and Sione Mata’utia could be looked at as could Rob Mulhern for a potential hip drop.
Leeds trio David Fusitu’a, Sam Walters and Tom Holroyd could be in trouble over late hits too.
Brad Singleton, Matty Nicholson and Deon Cross could all be in trouble from Sunday’s game for swinging arms.
