WOLVES now know they will play three home games and four away fixtures in the second phase of the Super League season.
Huddersfield Giants' 14-12 win against Catalans Dragons in Perpignan on Saturday and then Castleford Tigers' defeat of Wakefield on Sunday means Wolves can not finisher higher than sixth ahead of the start of the Super 8s.
Teams that finish in the top four will play four homes games and three away, and vice versa for those finishing fifth to eighth.
Wolves' top-eight position was guaranteed on Friday when Hull KR fell out of the reckoning with defeat to Hull.
The Super 8s second phase will start the weekend after Wolves' Challenge Cup semi-final clash with Hull KR at Headingley, which is scheduled for a 12.45pm kick off on Saturday, August 1.
