Leeds Rhinos now know when they will play if they manage to seal their Super League play-offs spot this weekend. Rohan Smith’s side host Castleford Tigers on Saturday in a must-win final regular round contest for both sides.
It's been confirmed that Catalans Dragons will play their home clash on Friday September 9th while Huddersfield will host their opponents a day later on Saturday September 10th. This is regardless of where they finish in the table, with both clubs still battling it out for third place heading into the final round.
If Leeds prosper, and Salford lose against Warrington on the same day, they will replace the Red Devils in fifth spot. If Salford and Leeds both win, they will finish sixth. Of course, if Leeds lose at Headingley, their season is over and Castleford will clinch the final play-offs spot.

Meanwhile, Catalans would have to beat Wigan and Huddersfield lost to Wakefield in order for their to be a late chance in the battle for third. Given the Dragons have decided to rest practically their entire side, it appears likely that the Dragons will finish fourth. As a result, Leeds would head to Perpignan on Friday if they overtake Salford or the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday if they retain sixth spot.
Both games will be shown on Sky Sports, though the Saturday clash will also feature on Channel 4.
