**Wigan Warriors are poised to secure the League Leaders’ Shield for the second consecutive year, despite a strong challenge from Hull KR.** With just one round of games remaining in the Super League season, Wigan holds a two-point advantage over their rivals.

The race for the top four remains tight, with several teams vying for the remaining playoff spots. Hull KR, Salford Red Devils, Warrington Wolves, Leigh Leopards, and St Helens are all in contention, with the outcome of this weekend’s matches deciding their fate.

**The playoff picture is as follows:**

* The top two teams advance directly to the semi-finals.
* Teams placed third and fourth will host home eliminators against the fifth and sixth-placed teams respectively.

**While Wigan’s focus is on defending their top spot, the battle for survival at the bottom of the table is equally compelling.** London Broncos face a tough challenge against relegation with Hull FC, despite their A-grade status in the new licensing structure, struggling for form throughout the season.

Broncos coach Mike Eccles has called for a reevaluation of London’s position within the league, arguing that their unique circumstances deserve special consideration.

**This weekend’s final round of matches will be crucial, with several key clashes shaping the final standings.**

**The following games will be streamed on the BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app:**
