We have whittled the competition down to four and we now know exactly who will fight who for a place in the Betfred Super League Grand Final.

Wigan Warriors emphatically wrapped up a domestic double with a 50-12 win over Catalans Dragons to secure the League Leaders' Shield.

That adds to their Challenge Cup win and now they are on the hunt for the treble if they can win in 'the big dance' at the Grand Final.

They have now had a week's rest, as have Leeds Rhinos who finished second despite their final-round loss to Hull FC.

The final league table top six finished as: Wigan Warriors, Leeds Rhinos, Warrington Wolves, Wakefield Trinity, Leigh Leopards, and Hull KR.

Wakefield saw off Leigh on Friday to book their place in a first Super League semi-final.

Warrington then showed their steel to beat Hull KR in the second eliminator.

Four remain and now we will whittle it down to the two teams who will do battle to win the trophy everyone has been hunting.

The format now is simple. Third-place finisher Warrington beat Hull KR who came sixth. Fourth-placed Wakefield beat fifth-placed finisher Leigh for a spot in the semi-finals on Friday.

The lowest-ranked winner of those contests, so the team that finished lowest in the league table, take on Wigan Warriors. After Warrington's win, that means Wakefield will head to the home of the League Leaders' Shield winners.

Warrington will face Leeds Rhinos in the second semi-final.
