Most of the teams tipped before the season began to be in play-off contention are up towards the top of the ladder, but a couple of sides are doing much better than expected, while at least two are under-performing. There’s still a long way to go, but here’s how the Betfred Super League table is expected to look after 27 rounds, based on bookies’ odds.
