                                                    QUALIFIERS

Leeds Rhinos have had a very distruptive superleague campaign as flooding caused them to move out of their training base early in the season. Salford defeated the Rhinos at home early in the season and but were beaten at Headingley as the Rhinos found some form towards the end of the season.

The challenge for Salford is to play to their potential and if this happens Salford will come out winners in this contest
