Form is all-important going into the play-offs, which begin this weekend. Looking at results over the final five rounds, one team are streets ahead of their rivals and a couple will go into the post-season campaign badly out of sorts.
Of the actual top-six - Wigan Warriors, Leeds Rhinos, Warrington Wolves, Wakefield Trinity, Leigh Leopards and Hull KR - only three would qualify based on their form since round 23, while a side which finished in a lowly 12th position ended the year in play-off form. Here, in reverse order, is how the table looks based on the final month of the Betfred Super League regular season.
