Betfred Super League can confirm the fixtures and venues for the competition’s revised play-off format, which was announced last week.

Six teams instead of four will now contest an expanded play-off series after the regular season was cut short last week due to Covid-related reasons.

The first of those knockout matches is on Thursday at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, where Warrington Wolves take on Hull FC in the first of two elimination games before the semi-finals. League Leaders Shield winners Wigan Warriors and runners-up St Helens will play at home in the last four.

All matches are live on Sky Sports and available via Now TV https://www.nowtv.com/watch-sky-sports-online

I wonder how this will play out being at Home (for once) ?

They've got used to being on neutral, or Away grounds since the re-start, and playing at the DW could also inspire our opponents, whilst we're not accustomed to being there.

On balance, it should be a good move - just wish we could be there !
