Castleford: Krystian Mapapalangi the value pick with Qareqare out, 2 in the top 3 and 4 multi-try games. Liam Hood and Mikaele Ravalawa share 2 each.

Giants v Tigers Huddersfield's best channel is the left wing (16 scored), Castleford's worst mark (27 conceded). Castleford strike back through the middle, their top channel (15) against Huddersfield's third-leakiest spot (14).

FIRST STRIKE 🎯 Wigan: Zach Eckersley the most involved, 9 in the top 3. Bevan French close behind on 7, Noah Hodkinson good for a late one, 4 thirds. Catalans: Charlie Staines and Toby Sexton share top spot, 5 each. Leo Darrelatour loves 2+ tries, 3 multi-try games.

Warriors v Dragons Wings decide this one. Wigan have scored 27 on the right, best in the league, and it's Catalans' worst defensive channel (17 conceded). Left edge tells the same story, 23 scored against Catalans' second-worst mark (15).

FIRST STRIKE 🎯 Saints: Jacob Douglas and Jake Davies share top spot, 4 each in the top 3. Jack Welsby good value too, 3 involvements. Hull KR: Mikey Lewis the standout, 7 in the top 3, 3 hat-tricks this season. Joe Burgess strikes first most, 3 firsts.

Saints v Hull KR Wings are the story. Saints have scored 20 tries on the right, best in the league, and it's Hull KR's second-worst defensive channel (14 conceded). Left edge tells the same tale, 14 scored against Hull KR's leakiest mark (16).

FIRST STRIKE 🎯 Warrington: Albert Hopoate the most involved, 8 in the top 3. Matty Ashton close behind, 7 involvements and 5 multi-try games. Toulouse: Luke Polselli and Paul Ulberg share top spot, 4 each in the top 3. Mathieu Jussaume strikes first most, 3 firsts.

Rhinos v Hull FC Left edge is the story. Leeds have scored 35 tries out there this season, Hull's leakiest channel (18 conceded). Flip it and it's the same picture on the right, Hull's best strike zone (15) lines up with Leeds' second-worst mark out wide (14).

Correction: York can't finish bottom, they're safe on points. Bradford are the ones staring down last place. Still a big one for York to lock in 10th.

FIRST STRIKE | Bulls v Knights York: David Nofoaluma strikes early, 5 firsts. Jon Bennison most involved, 6 in the top 3 combined. Bradford: Waqa Blake the go-to, 3 first tries, 3 seconds, 6 in the top 3 overall. Connor Wynne loves a late one, 3 thirds.

York v Bradford, the game that could decide the wooden spoon outright. Bradford's defense against the left wing has been the story of their season, 28 conceded there, worst mark in the league. York have scored 21 tries down that same edge. Genuine desperation on both sides, York need the win to stay off bottom, Bradford need it plus help elsewhere.
