WOLVES' place in the top eight is confirmed tonight after Hull's 22-12 defeat of Hull KR.
Ninth-place Rovers stay four points behind Wolves with only one game left in phase one of Super League's new format.
The Wire can still finish anywhere between fourth and eighth going into Round 23 at Castleford Tigers next weekend, but wherever they berth Wolves' Super League status in 2016 is now not in question.
Hull's spot is also confirmed in the top eight, while the Robins need Catalans Dragons to lose heavily at home to Huddersfield Giants tomorrow and then win at St Helens next Friday to keep their slim hopes alive.
Widnes Vikings' 20-10 loss at Wigan Warriors tonight confirms they will join Salford Red Devils and Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in the Middle 8s, where they will have to battle for their Super League futures.
