The schedule for this season’s Super League play-offs has been locked in, with the first weekend’s fixtures now confirmed.

In what is their first campaign back in Super League, Wakefield Trinity’s sixth-place finish was cemented on Thursday night without them kicking a ball as Hull FC were beaten at home by Catalans Dragons.

FC wee the only side that could catch Trinity, but Daryl Powell’s side rammed home their play-off finish with an emphatic 52-16 win at financially-stricken Salford Red Devils on Friday night.

The only thing which still had to be decided prior to Friday was where sixth-placed Wakefield and fifth-placed St Helens would travel in next weekend’s eliminator ties.

Leigh began the night in third, with Leeds in fourth, and that’s how it remained come the end of proceedings as the Leopards beat Huddersfield Giants and the Rhinos lost at Wigan Warriors.

Accordingly, Wakefield will head to Leigh next weekend before Leeds host Saints.

In the meantime, the sides that finish in the top two enjoy a week off the action, and get home advantage the following week come semi-final time.

Super League Leaders’ Shield winners Hull KR will host the lowest-ranked winner from the eliminators (based upon league positions) come the semi-finals on Saturday, October 4 (5.30pm KO).

The evening prior, on Friday, October 3, second-placed Wigan will play the highest-ranked winner from the eliminators (8pm KO), again based upon league positions.

If Leigh beat Wakefield, they will definitely make the short trip across the borough to Wigan for the semi-finals, just as they did last year.

Then, the two winners of the semi-finals will reach Old Trafford, where they will do battle in the Super League Grand Final on Saturday, October 11 (6pm KO).

A full run-down of that schedule can be seen below…
