THIS weekend, starting with tonight’s huge clash between Warrington Wolves and Wigan Warriors, we enter the final four rounds to the first stage of Super League 2015.

It is an intriguing finale to this year’s new concept which sees the 24 teams in the Super League and Championship split into three groups of eight after Round 23 of matches.

Before I give you my predictions, here’s a reminder for the considerations potentially affecting Wolves come the end of July.

The top eight Super League clubs will keep all their points accrued, play each other once more, and then the top four will go into the two semi-final games to decide the Grand Finalists at Old Trafford on October 10.

The bottom four in Super League and the top four in the Championship will come together to form the Middle 8.

All points gained by then will be deleted, all teams will play each other once, the top three in the new points table will secure Super League places in 2016, the teams finishing fourth and fifth will play-off to claim the last available spot in the top flight next year.

There is still lots to play for.

I reckon the top three spots are settled, in that one of Leeds, St Helens and Wigan will fill each of those.

Wakefield have finished bottom, but positions fourth to 11th are still up for grabs – with Tony Smith’s men mathematically able to finish in any of those slots.

Although playing a dangerous game in a season of inconsistencies, and risking the wrath of all and sundry, by my predictions Wolves would finish sixth on 22 points – six points adrift of the top four, which would hand them a mountain to climb in the Super 8s in order to qualify for the semi finals but would steer them clear of any relegation threat.

I am tipping Wolves to lose at home to Wigan and Saints (but would happily be proved wrong), but win at Wakefield and Castleford.

I have taken into consideration Warrington having short turnarounds between matches ahead of the games against Wigan (five days) and Saints (four days), but 10 days preparation going into the two treks over the Pennines.

Of course, any surprising results – such as Catalans finally winning a game away from home – could upset the apple cart in my ‘guessathon’, but it is an interesting exercise.

My final 12 looks like this: 1 Leeds, 2 Wigan, 3 St Helens, 4 Castleford, 5 Huddersfield, 6 Wolves, 7 Catalans, 8 Hull FC, 9 Hull KR, 10 Widnes, 11 Salford, 12 Wakefield.
