St Helens ended the regular season as League leaders, thus earning them a bye to the semi-final.

2 minutes into the match, Salford lost Andy Ackers to a head injury, to which he then failed a HIA, ruling him out for the rest of the game.

Saints' Morgan Knowles was then penalised on 24 minutes, for an alleged Chicken wing tackle, to which he was sent to the sin bin for.

Matty Lees thought he'd scored saints 3rd try on 49 minutes, but it was ruled out for a double movement.

With 5 minutes of the game remaining, Salford were denied a possible penalty try, as Tommy Makinson committed a professional foul, as he pulled back Tim Lafai off the ball, as he was chasing a grubber kick.

Makinson was sent to the sin, and the referee did not award a penalty try, as he deemed lafai would not have gotten to the ball in time.

Leeds traveled to Catalans Dragons, in a game which saw 4 cards shown (3 yellow, 1 red).

Leeds were penalised again for offside on 32 minutes, and Tomkins successfully kicked the penalty, to give the dragons a 4–0 lead.

Things got worse for Wigan on 51 minutes, as John Bateman was shown a red card, for a late/dangerous tackle on Aiden Sezer, to which he was then required to leave the field for a HIA, before failing to pass the test, which meant he couldn't return.
