September is always an exciting time in Super League as the race to Old Trafford intensifies.

Five of the play-off participants are already locked in but there is still much to play for in the final two rounds of the regular season.

Wakefield Trinity and Hull FC are battling for the final place while the rest of the title hopefuls jockey for position inside the six.

Here, The Yorkshire Post takes a look at what is required for every side still in the hunt.

1. Hull KR (42 points)

Remaining games: Wakefield Trinity (a), Warrington Wolves (h).

Wigan Warriors dashed KR's hopes of a Craven Park party in front of their fiercest rivals but only a mathematical miracle can deny them a maiden League Leaders' Shield after Sunday's derby win over Hull FC.

If Wigan win both games, the Robins need just a point to secure the double.

Even if Rovers lose both matches, Wigan would still require a 113-point swing on for-and-against to snatch top spot.

2. Wigan Warriors (38 points)

Remaining games: Castleford Tigers (h), Leeds Rhinos (h).

Matt Peet's side would make it interesting with a resounding win over lowly Castleford on Friday night but they are realistically playing for second spot.

If the Rhinos match their result this week, the battle would be settled at the Brick Community Stadium on the final weekend.

In all likelihood, Wigan would only need to avoid a heavy defeat to clinch second.

3. Leeds Rhinos (36 points)

Remaining games: Catalans Dragons (h), Wigan Warriors (a).

Castleford could yet do their rivals a favour but Leeds' best chance is to beat Catalans convincingly and hope the for-and-against margin narrows before travelling to Wigan next week.

Although there is still an outside chance of stealing second place, the Rhinos first need to secure a top-four finish.

One win would be enough to book a first Headingley play-off tie since 2017, while Brad Arthur's team must match Leigh Leopards' results to claim third.

4. Leigh Leopards (35 points)

Remaining games: St Helens (h), Huddersfield Giants (h).

Leigh face St Helens this Friday in a potential dress rehearsal for the eliminators but Adrian Lam's ever-improving side will be aiming even higher.

Victory over Saints would guarantee a top-four finish and set up the chance to snatch third spot in the final round.

If Leigh win both games and Leeds drop points, they will secure their highest-ever Super League finish of third. They could also claim second in the unlikely event that Wigan lose both matches.

5. St Helens (32 points)

Remaining games: Leigh Leopards (a), Castleford Tigers (h).

Paul Wellens' men have it all to do to claim a top-four finish following back-to-back defeats to Hull KR and Wigan.

If Leeds see off Catalans as expected, Saints must beat Leigh and rely on a favour from Huddersfield on the final weekend.

A fifth-place finish and an away play-off tie is more likely, which would represent a blow for a team that have struggled against the top sides this year.

6. Wakefield Trinity (26 points)

Remaining games: Hull KR (h), Salford Red Devils (a).

Trinity's destiny remains in their own hands following Hull's defeat at Craven Park but their slip against Castleford could yet prove costly.

Wakefield must now beat Hull KR on Saturday or risk the Airlie Birds seizing the initiative heading into the final round.

If Trinity match Hull's results, they will reach the play-offs for the first time since 2012.

7. Hull FC (25 points)

Remaining games: Warrington Wolves (h), Catalans Dragons (h).

Wakefield's clash with Rovers gives Hull hope but they must get their own house in order after three straight defeats, compounded by a worsening selection crisis.

Although they have a favourable pair of fixtures on paper, Saturday's home date with Warrington promises to be a tense affair.

The Airlie Birds must claim back-to-back wins and hope for a favour from their biggest rivals.
