League Leaders' Shield: Hull KR make history!
The maths was very simple for Hull KR and they just about managed to get over the line. They beat Warrington Wolves 28-20 in a tense Round 27 clash to claim the League Leaders' Shield for the first time in the club's history.
They needed to massively improve from their drilling against Wakefield in Round 26 and late tries did that for them, the club picking up a historic double after their Challenge Cup win, something Robins fans have dreamed of for so long.
Wigan Warriors were confirmed in second spot ahead of their final game against Leeds Rhinos.
Middle of the pack!
After Leigh Leopards' 28-10 win over St Helens in Round 26 and Leeds' shock loss to Catalans, St Helens were assured of a fifth-placed finish.
And now, we know they will take a trip to play Leeds Rhinos.
Leeds lost 22-6 to Wigan in Round 27 while Leigh battled back against Huddersfield for a 30-16 win.
It means Leigh Leopards are third and will welcome Wakefield Trinity.
The battle for sixth: Wakefield Trinity do enough!
Wakefield Trinity supporters will be on cloud nine after promotion last season, they are in the play-offs with 30 points at the end of a season to remember.
They were in regardless of whether they beat Salford in Round 27 but a huge 52-16 win means they have signed off in style.
Their win against KR was absolutely monumental in Round 26, putting fate back in their own hands, and Hull FC's slip up against Catalans Dragons sealed the deal.
