Key Points
- Weekly Rounds come to an end
- Wigan need win to clinch LLS
- French & Field to dominate for Warriors
The final games of the regular weekly rounds of Super League will take place this weekend. There is one game on Thursday, five on what is dubbed 'Frantic Friday' and one final game on Saturday. The two games bookmarking Friday are matches with nothing to play for.
Wigan Warriors moved into pole position to win the League Leaders Shield last weekend with a 40-8 hammering of Leeds Rhinos. All Wigan have to do is beat Catalans Dragons at the Brick Community Stadium on Friday to win their second piece of silverware this season.
This page will feature a preview of the biggest game taking place this weekend, including a special player anytime try scoring acca for each game.

Wigan Warriors vs Catalans Dragons - Friday, September 11 - 20:00 BST
Victory for Wigan Warriors on Friday evening over the Catalans Dragons will see them lift the League Leaders Shield for a sixth time and the third time in four years. It has been an emotional week for the Warriors. Club captain Liam Farrell announced he would be retiring from the sport at the end of the season, while the funeral of club legend Sir Billy Boston took place on Thursday. A win on Friday would be a massive tribute to both players as they head into the play-offs. Farrell, who has been out injured since June 27, has been named in the squad but it is unknown whether or not he is fully fit to play. Jake Wardle is still missing, while George O'Loughlin has been ruled out for the rest of the campaign with a quad injury. Catalans will be without Alrix Da Costa and Edenn Rogers-Smith through head injury protocols, while Kruise Leeming - on loan from the Warriors - is out injured. Tommy Makinson and Ben Garcia are playing their last matches before retirement, but I cannot see it being a happy ending. Wigan are 14 games unbeaten and if they remain focused, they will have no problems beating the French team. I am tipping Wigan to win by 26-30 points with a influx of tries. I am backing Adam Keighran, Jai Field, Bevan French, Zach Eckersley and Liam Marshall all to score.

Leeds Rhinos vs Hull FC - Friday, September 11 - 20:00 BST
Leeds Rhinos still have a slim chance of finishing top of the league after the weekly rounds. They have to beat Hull FC and hope Catalans Dragons defeat Wigan Warriors at the Brick Community Stadium - a tough ask, but not impossible. For what it's worth, I can't see Wigan losing, so Leeds will finish second and claim a home semi-final. The Rhinos will be without full back Lachie Miller after picking up a hamstring injury in the loss against Wigan - ruling him out for the remainder of the season. Maika Sivo is in the squad again and it is hoped he will be fully fit following his broken arm, James McDonnell is still missing but Keenan Palasia has recovered from a foot problem. This is the final game of what has been a disappointing season for Hull FC. They are 12th on the ladder, and depending on other results they could finish bottom of the ladder. Tom Briscoe will play his final game of his illustrious career when he faces one of his former clubs. Zak Hardaker should feature in what will be his final game for the club, while James Bell is available. Leeds were outplayed in every department last week, and it is hard to fathom Leeds playing as bad as that again. I am going with the Rhinos to win this game quite comfortable. I am backing them to win by 16-20 points with tries for the returning Sivo, Brodie Croft and the ever reliable Chris Hankinson.
