Routeββto theββFinalβ»
St Helensβ»
St Helens finished 1st in the "regular season,"ββto earn a bye to the semi-finals and a home tie against 2nd place Wigan Warriors. Saints dominated the first half by scoring four tries to Wigan's one and led 26β6 at half-time with tries from Theo Fages, Kevin Naiqama, Luke Thompson, and Jonny Lomax.
Wigan knew they had a job to do in the 2nd half. But this was not to be, as Saints Zeb Taia's score and a Mark Percival double extended the lead to send Saints to their first grand final since 2014.
This was also Justin Holbrook's final game for Saints at the Totally Wicked Stadium, without losing single home game all season.

Salford Red Devilsβ»
Salford finished 3rd in the regular season, to earn an away tie against 2nd place Wigan Warriors in the qualifying finals, only to lose 18β12.
This meant that Salford would get another chance against Castleford in the Elimination-final, "this time there was no mistakes," as they went on to win the match 22β0, "thus setting up another tie against Wigan in the preliminary final."
Salford opened the scoring on 2 minutes, as Lee Mossop had the ball stolen. And Krisnan Inu slotted over a penalty goal from 40m out. Wigan were again penalised in the 7th minute, for offside. And Inu slotted over another penalty to make it 4β0. The video referee was called into action in the 13th minute, as Gil Dudson went over for the visitors, but referee Ben Thaler couldn't decide whether it was a double movement. Or not. The try was awarded and Inu added the extras to give Salford a 10β0 lead after 15 minutes.
The visitors extended their lead further in the 45th minute, Joey Lussick crashing over from close range, the try awarded after much deliberation from the video referee. Inu adding another conversion to give Salford an 18β0 lead.
Inu added a fifth penalty goal of the evening in the 65th minute, before the Warriors finally got their first score of the game in the 72nd minute, Oliver Gildart made the initial break, before being captured out by good vision from Sean OβLoughlin, saw the skipper put a kick through for Bevan French, to win the foot race and "ease over." Zak Hardaker hit the uprights with the conversion attempt and it was 28β4 to the visitors.
Salford won, and earned them a first ever appearance at the grand final.
