Stat Attack: Bill Tupou heading for 400 carries milestone

The Super 8’s and the Qualifiers kicked off a couple of weeks ago. Now we are back into the swing of things let’s have an update on the league tables.

Weekly League Table

In the Super 8’s, St. Helens and Wigan remain 1st and 2nd, Castleford move to 3rd and push Warrington back to 4th. Huddersfield remain close on the tails sitting in 5th. No change for Wakefield (6th), Hull FC (7th) and Challenge Cup Winners Catalan (8th)

However if this league was to start from scratch. It would have some serious changes!
Wigan would be top of the league, followed by Huddersfield in 2nd, Warrington 3rd, St. Helens 4th, Castleford 5th, Wakefield 6th, Hull FC and Catalan would still be 7th and 8th.

Now the Qualifiers.
Salford currently sit in 1st, followed by Leeds in 2nd, Toronto in 3rd and Toulouse have the 4th Spot with Hull KR in 5th. Is that the Million Pound game?
London are 6th, Widnes 7th and Halifax 8th.
