The penultimate round of Super League has seen strong attendance figures across the board, barring one game.<\/p>\n

Four of the six matches in Round 26 drew crowds of over 10,000 whilst a fifth broke the 9,000 barrier for a seasonal high.<\/p>\n

Of the four games that broke the 10,000 barrier, two hit 15,000 with the first of those on Thursday night when Catalans Dragons shocked Leeds Rhinos with a 16-18 win<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That opened the door for Leigh Leopards who duly obliged on Friday night, beating St Helens<\/a> in front of 10,011 as they moved into third and guaranteed a home play-off match.<\/p>\n

Friday night\u2019s other game saw Wigan Warriors hammer Castleford Tigers<\/a> in front of 15,224 with Matt Peet\u2019s side hitting form when it matters.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve even got a chance of winning the League Leaders Shield given Hull KR\u2019s defeat to Wakefield, losing 28-12 in their worst performance of the year<\/a>. That game saw Trinity draw their highest attendance of the Super League season, with 9,258 watching.<\/p>\n

Whilst Hull KR lost, Hull FC won with the Black and Whites beating Warrington Wolves 34-2 at home in front of almost 10,500. Ironically, Hull FC actually needed a favour from Hull KR with John Cartwright\u2019s side still one point behind Wakefield Trinity in the race for the sixth and final play-off spot.<\/p>\n

Round 26 of Super League concluded on Sunday afternoon when Huddersfield Giants defeated Salford Red Devils 22-8 as they scored three tries in the final ten minutes to land the win. Leroy Cudjoe, playing his final home game for Huddersfield, kicked the final conversion with the 37-year-old also given a guard of honour before the game.<\/p>\n

That game drew the smallest crowd with just 4,082 in attendance.<\/p>\n
