The term “it’s all to play for” is overused in the sporting lexicon. But in the tightest Betfred Super League season in years, it really is all to play for. Wigan Warriors can secure a first League Leaders’ Shield with a win at Leigh Leopards on Friday night. Their opponents have every incentive to come between the visitors and the ‘hub cap’ though, with their own play-off hopes in the balance.
A defeat for the Warriors could also let their rivals in as the race hots up. St Helens and Catalans Dragons are level on points with Wigan. Each team has 38 points through 26 games so far. Saints welcome Hull FC to Totally Wicked Stadium while Catalans Dragons will travel to Salford Red Devils.
Here’s how you can watch this week’s high-stakes TV game and a full rundown of the rest of this round of Betfred Super League fixtures.
