Super League is entering the Final Charge.

With four rounds remaining before the play-offs, the leading pair of Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors are split only by their for and against, with Warrington Wolves just two points behind. This season has been notable for the number of shock results, including Leeds and Wigan both losing to Castleford, the Warriors also slipping up against Huddersfield Giants and defending champions Hull KR suffering a defeat at promoted York Knights in round one.

That makes it tough to predict the final table, but the Yorkshire Evening Post has had a go. Here’s who we think will finish in places seven to one.

7: St Helens

Remaining fixtures: Castleford (H), Leeds (H), Leigh (A), Hull KR (H).

Saints’ goose appeared cooked two weeks ago, but last Saturday’s big win at Wakefield Trinity has revived hopes of maintaining their ever-present record in the play-offs. It has been a miserable year for the 10-time champions, who have lost to Castleford, Hull and York and were demolished 46-0 at home by Toulouse last month.

Injuries have clearly played a massive part, but - rather like Rhinos a decade ago following their golden era - the lack of succession planning is startling. Literally boys against men for much of the campaign, they are starting to get some key players back, but have probably left themselves too much to do.

6: Leigh Leopards

Remaining fixtures: Bradford (H), Huddersfield (A), St Helens (H), Wakefield (H).

Leigh are one of the form teams and pulled off a remarkable backs to the wall win at Rhinos last week, proving they can match anyone on their day.

The top-six looks secure, despite a slow start which saw them lose four of their opening five Super League games - but the home clash with Wakefield Trinity in the final round of the regular campaign could be crucial to their hopes of a top-four spot and a play-off on their own turf.

5: Hull KR

Remaining fixtures: Toulouse (H), Wigan (A), Huddersfield (H), St Helens (A).

Tuesday’s defeat to Warrington Wolves in their game in hand was a major blow to the Robins’ hopes of finishing in the top-four. Warrington have moved two points clear and have an easier run-in, though fatigue comes into the equation after a midweek fixture.

Having held all four major trophies earlier in the campaign, Hull KR have discovered silverware is even harder to defend than it is to win and the Wembley loss to Wigan seemed to sap some confidence. Keeping star man Mikey Lewis on the field would help.

4: Wakefield Trinity

Remaining fixtures: Wigan (A), York (H), Warrington (H), Leigh (A).

A couple of weeks ago Trinity were moments away from going joint-top of the table, but back-to-back defeats by Leeds and St Helens have all-but ended their hopes of a home semi-final and finishing in the leading quarter isn’t assured.

They have a tough run-in, which at least means they should be battle-hardened for the play-offs and a couple of signings will give them a lift, but injuries are beginning to bite again. Even so, being in the hunt at this stage is an achievement in just their second season back in Super League.

3: Warrington Wolves

Remaining fixtures: Huddersfield (H), Hull FC (A), Wakefield (A), Toulouse (H).

The impressive win at Hull KR on Tuesday, in the sides’ catch-up fixture, leaves Warrington only a couple of points adrift of the top-two. Warrington have a slightly easier run in, facing one top-seven team to Hull KR’s two and that may just see them seal a home tie.

They face a crunch trip to Wakefield, the team now one place below them on the ladder in fourth and that could decide the sides’’ final position, but overhauling Leeds and Wigan looks too big a task.

2: Wigan Warriors

Remaining fixtures: Wakefield (H), Hull KR (H), Leeds (A), Catalans (H).

They may not have been the most consistent team, but the Challenge Cup holders have arguably reached a higher level than any of their rivals this term. Their Wembley demolition of Hull KR was an illustration of that and for a spell, including a big away win at Wakefield, they looked almost untouchable.

Wigan have won their last 11 league games, beating all their main rivals in the process and will go top of the table if they see off Wakefield on Friday. The visit to Leeds in the penultimate round could be a decider for the league leaders’ shield.

1: Leeds Rhinos

Remaining fixtures: York (A), St Helens (A), Wigan (H), Hull FC (H).

This is being a bit optimistic considering Rhinos’ recent injuries, their form compared to Wigan’s and the fact they have a trip to bogey club St Helens looming next week. That said, if they win their remaining four Leeds will end the campaign in top spot and they could potentially suffer one more defeat and still do it, thanks to their points difference.

Victories against lowly York and Hull FC should secure a home semi-final and first place is likely to come down to the round 26 home game against Wigan, but the recent narrow losses to Castleford and Leigh have made things much harder than they might have been.
