Notes

    1. ↑ Salford forfeited a game against Warrington. Under RFL operational rules, the game is recorded as a 24–0 victory for Warrington and converse loss for Salford with the points scored/conceded applying to both teams.[2]
    2. ↑ Huddersfield were placed on standby to take the place of any of the four teams in the elimination finals should one be unable to fulfil their fixture.[3]
    3. ↑ Salford deducted three wins by the Rugby Football League for failing to meet the terms of a financial commitment agreed in 2013.[4]
