Hull KR perfect and Leigh Leopards 2nd in Super League form table as St Helens utterly abject
After Magic Weekend, just five rounds remain of the regular Super League campaign, with some teams building a head of steam but others desperately struggling for form.
Virtually every team still has something to play for, be it the pride of not finishing bottom, trying to obtain a play-off spot, or a top two finish.
For most clubs, their last five games have come from rounds 18 to 22 (Magic Weekend), inclusive. But Wigan Warriors and Leigh Leopards played out their rescheduled Round 2 clash last earlier this month.
Accordingly, their ‘form’ is judged off rounds 19 to 22 (Magic Weekend), inclusive, and that Round 2 meeting.
Current Super League leaders Hull KR still sit top of the form table as the only club in Super League to have won all of their last five games.
Elsewhere, both Leigh and Warrington Wolves have won four of their last five. Had the Leopards won that rescheduled Round 2 trip to Wigan, they’d have had seven wins in a row now, but instead, it’s six in the last seven overall.
Elsewhere, Wigan Warriors earned a third win in their last five with their victory against St Helens at Magic Weekend, and have risen to 4th in the form table as a result.
Leeds Rhinos, Salford Red Devils, Huddersfield Giants, Catalans Dragons, Saints and London Broncos have ALL won just two of their last five games, and sit locked on four points in this form table, separated only on points difference.
Castleford Tigers and Hull FC are then locked at the bottom of the form ladder with just one win from their last five. Between them, the pair have conceded an eye-watering 287 points over the last five rounds.
Here is the updated Super League form table in full, from top to bottom…
