Overview
- Leeds beat St Helens 34-24 in an eleven-try Super Four clash, a win that effectively guarantees the Rhinos a place in the Super Four semi-final.
- Wigan demolished York 44-0 to remain unbeaten in the Super Four, with five first-half tries and Molly Jones' long-range score singled out as a standout moment.
- In Shield action Huddersfield overwhelmed Leigh 34-0 as Amelia Brown scored four tries, while Barrow suffered a ninth straight league defeat, losing 22-14 to Featherstone and edging closer to the promotion/relegation play-off.
- St Helens produced six unanswered second-half tries to beat Wakefield 46-16, Tristan Sailor completed a hat-trick, and the win moved Saints to within four points of sixth place with four games left; Wakefield lost Josh Rourke and Isaiah Vagana to early injuries.
- The results sharpen qualification and relegation stakes across competitions because the Super Four determines the women's semi-finalists and the Super League uses a top-six play-off format, so the coming rounds will decide title contenders and which clubs face the drop or a promotion/relegation play-off.
