EVERYTHING is riding on the last two rounds of the Super 8s – and all Saints can do is win their home game against Huddersfield, the away trip to Salford….and then hope for the best.

The maximum number of points Saints can get is 33.

If they lose another game it is all over.

There are a number of scenarios that would leave the final two qualification places being decided on points difference, but only one set of results that would definitely eliminate Saints.

Currently the table is.

3. Hull 33, diff +27.

4. Wigan 31, diff +73.

5. Wakefield 30, diff +65.

6. Saints 29, diff +95.

What if 1.

Hull beat Wakefield.

Wigan lose to Castleford.

Castleford beat Hull.

3. Saints 33*

4. Wigan 33

5. Hull 33.

6. Wakefield 30.

What if 2.
