Referees: Tom Grant;Sideline Officials: Liam Rush, Ryan Cox;

FINALS:
Huddersfield: 9th, 22pts - cannot qualify for playoffs. Planning for 2024.
Warrington: 6th, 26pts - after being runaway league leaders most of the season, the Wolves now need a win to lock up sixth place. A loss will see them sweating on the Salford-Catalans result, with the Red Devils able to leapfrog them into the top six.

Sat September 23 2023, 5:00am at Totally Wicked Stadium, St Helens

1. Jack Welsby 2. Tommy Makinson 3. Will Hopoate 4. Mark Percival 5. Jonathan Bennison 6. Jonny Lomax 7. Lewis Dodd 8. Alex Walmsley 9. James Roby 10. Matty Lees 11. Sione Mata'utia 12.

Referees: Ben Thaler;Sideline Officials: Aaron Moore, Richard Thompson;

FINALS: 
St Helens: 3rd, 38pts - Saints are locked in a three-way battle for the League Leader's Shield and the all-important weekend off in the playoffs. They need to win, then rely on at least one of Wigan and Catalans dropping the ball to get into top two. Both would need to lose for Saints to claim the Shield.
Hull FC: 10th, 20pts - cannot qualify for playoffs. Season well and truly over.

Salford Red Devils v Catalans Dragons
Sat September 23 2023, 5:00am at Salford Stadium, Barton-upon-Irwell

1. Ryan Brierley 2. Ken Sio 3. Kallum Watkins 4. Tim Lafai 5. Joe Burgess 6. Brodie Croft 7. Marc Sneyd 8. Jack Ormondroyd 9. Andy Ackers 11. Andrew Dixon 12. Sam Stone 13. Ollie Partington 14.

1. Arthur Mourgue 2. Tom Davies 3. Adam Keighran 5. Fouad Yaha 6. Tyrone May 7. Mitchell Pearce 8. Mike McMeeken 9. Micky McIlorum 10. Julian Bousquet 11. Matt Whitley 12. Paul Séguier 13. Benjamin Garcia 14. Alrix Da Costa 16. Romain Navarrete 18. Tiaki Chan 19. Arthur Romano 21. Matt Ikuvalu 23. Jordan Dezaria 24. Tom Johnstone 26. Manu Ma'u 29. Sam Tomkins

Referees: Jack Smith;Sideline Officials: Cameron Worsley, Warren Turley;

FINALS: 
Salford: 7th, 26pts - the Red Devils need a win, but they also need Warrington to lose if they're going to finish 6th and prolong their season by another week.
Catalans: 2nd, 38pts - Like Saints, they're deep in an intense battle for the League Leader's Shield and top two. If they win, they will finish top two - if Wigan lose they'll also claim the League Leaders' Shield. If they lose, it will come down to whether Saints win as to whether the Dragons will stay in the top two, or sink to third (and host a week one eliminator).

Wakefield Trinity v Hull KR
Sat September 23 2023, 5:00am at Be Well Support Stadium, Wakefield

1. Max Jowitt 7. Mason Lino 8. Eddie Battye 9. Liam Hood 11. Matty Ashurst 12. Kelepi Tanginoa 13. Jay Pitts 15. Liam Kay 16. Josh Bowden 17. Renouf Atoni 18. Lee Kershaw 26. Dane Windrow 30. Oliver Pratt 33. Will Dagger 37. Luke Gale 38. Jack Croft 41. Romain Franco 42. Hugo Salabio 43. Josh Griffin 45. Harvey Smith 46. Jordan Schofield

2. Ethan Ryan 3. Tom Opacic 4. Shaun Kenny-Dowall 5. Ryan Hall 7. Jordan Abdull 8. Sauaso Sue 9. Matt Parcell 10. George King 12. Kane Linnett 13. Elliot Minchella 14. Jez Litten 16. James Batchelor 17. Matty Storton 20. Mikey Lewis 21. Rowan Milnes 22. Dean Hadley 23. Louis Senior 26. Sam Luckley 27. Yusuf Aydin 34. Jack Walker 37. Brad Schneider

Referees: Chris Kendall;Sideline Officials: Dean Bowmer, Simon Ellis;

FINALS:
Wakefield: 12th, 8pts - Trinity are destined for the 2024 Betfred Championship, already confirmed as relegated after a disastrous 2023 campaign.
Hull KR: 5th, 30 pts - the Robins will meet Leigh in an eliminator in just over a week. The match will almost certainly be played at Leigh, but if they can win by a big enough margin, they could leapfrog the Leopards and snatch hosting rights should Wigan down their mooted opponents.

Leeds Rhinos v Castleford Tigers
Sat September 23 2023, 5:00am at Headingley Stadium, Leeds

2. David Fusitu’a 3. Harry Newman 5. Ash Handley 8. Mikolaj Oledzki 12. Rhyse Martin 13. Cameron Smith 14. Jarrod O’Connor 15. Sam Lisone 16. Derrell Olpherts 18. Tom Holroyd 19. James McDonnell 20. Morgan Gannon 21. Luke Hooley 22. Sam Walters 23. Liam Tindall 25. James Donaldson 26. Corey Johnson 29. Jack Sinfield 34. Alfie Edgell 35. Riley Lumb 36. Tom Nicholson-watton

2. Greg Eden 3. Jordan Turner 7. Jacob Miller 8. George Lawler 11. Kenny Edwards 12. Alex Mellor 14. Nathan Massey 17. Jack Broadbent 20. Muizz Mustapha 23. Suaia Matagi 24. Cain Robb 25. Brad Martin 26. Elliot Wallis 28. Sam Hall 31. Jason Qareqare 32. Liam Watts 41. Jordan Johnstone 42. Billy Tsikrikas 45. Liam Horne 46. Blake Austin 47. Fletcher Rooney

Referees: James Vella;Sideline Officials: Andrew Smith, Denton Arnold;

FINALS:
This is the only match that has completely zero bearing on the outcome of the playoffs picture.
Leeds: 8th, 22pts
Castleford: 11th, 12pts

Leigh Leopards v Wigan Warriors
Sat September 23 2023, 5:00am (Fox AU/Sky UK 8pm) at Leigh Sports Village Stadium, Leigh

2. Tom Briscoe 3. Ed Chamberlain 5. Josh Charnley 6. Joe Mellor 7. Lachlan Lam 8. Tom Amone 9. Edwin Ipape 10. Robbie Mulhern 11. Joe Wardle 12. Jack Hughes 13. John Asiata 14. Ben Nakubuwai 15.

Joe Shorrocks 20. Patrick Mago 21. Iain Thornley 22. Brad O'Neill 23. Abbas Miski 26. Harvie Hill 27. Junior Nsemba 32. Ryan Hampshire 34. Tyler Dupree

Referees: Liam Moore;Sideline Officials: Mark Craven, Jonathan Roberts;Video Referees: Marcus Griffiths;

FINALS:
Leigh: 4th, 32pts - the Leopards are more or less locked into fourth. They'll face Hull KR in an eliminator - but if they lose and Hull KR beat Wakefield by a big enough margin to cover differential, the Robins may steal hosting rights from Leigh for that playoffs match.
Wigan: 1st, 38pts - like Saints and Catalans it's all about the top two and Shield. The Warriors' superior differential is helpful as well, meaning if any of the other two teams lose, they're guaranteed top two, and if both lose, Wigan are League Leaders regardless of their result here. Still - a win would guarantee the Shield is presented at Leigh Sports Village on Friday.
