Round 16 of the 2022 Betfred Super League campaign had plenty of drama, including a record-breaking victory for Salford Red Devils.
Winner - Salford Red Devils (150/1 - Grand Final Winner)
Salford Red Devils have reignited their hopes of securing a top-six finish after earning an emphatic win over Wakefield Trinity on Sunday.
The Red Devils, who now sit eighth and just four points adrift of the play-offs, ran in 13 tries to seal a 74-10 victory.
It proved to be the highest points tally the club has ever achieved in the Super League and snapped a two-game losing streak.
Joe Burgess scored a hat-trick, with Brodie Croft, Ryan Brierley and Ken Sio all registering a brace of tries.
Winner - Huddersfield Giants (9/1 - Grand Final Winner)
Huddersfield Giants have climbed to third in the Betfred Super League standings following a 38-10 win at Hull KR.
Leroy Cudjoe scored a hat-trick of tries to help the Giants to victory, while Luke Yates, Ricky Leutele, Will Pryce and Jermaine McGillvary added further scores.
Head coach Ian Watson hailed his side's performance as "outstanding" and praised their "mentality" after they extended their winning streak to six.
Winner - Castleford Tigers (20/1 - Grand Final Winner)
Castleford Tigers appear to be back on track after winning successive games to respond to back-to-back defeats.
Sunday's victory over Catalans Dragons suggests Castleford can mix it with the best in the league.
It was a tense affair at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle with the score tied 16-16 at full-time, forcing the match into golden-point extra-time.
The additional period was full of drama as Danny Richardson, Jake Trueman and Sam Tomkins all missed drop-goal attempts in windy conditions, however, Richardson eventually made himself the hero by kicking the winning point for Cas.

Loser - Wakefield Trinity
Wakefield Trinity appeared to be building some momentum, winning back-to-back games, but they were outclassed against Salford Red Devils on Sunday.
Trinity can count themselves lucky that Toulouse, who are the only side placed below them in the standings, have struggled to adapt to the Betfred Super League and look set for relegation.
Those wins over Hull FC and Warrington will feel like a distant memory now for Wakefield after shipping 74 points at Salford.
Loser - Catalans Dragons (4/1 - Grand Final Winner)
The last few years have been full of positivity for Catalans Dragons, but Sunday's golden-point loss to Castleford Tigers has seen them slip to fourth in the standingd.
It would be wrong to write them off as potential Grand Final winners, but Steve McNamara has some big issues to address with last season's League Leaders Shield winners.
Loser - Hull FC (25/1 - Grand Final Winner)
The wheels appear to have well and truly come off for Hull FC and they could soon find themselves slipping out of the top six.
Friday's 4-0 loss to Warrington doesn't look too bad in isolation, but it extended Hull's losing streak to three matches, while the Wolves were able to snap their own five-match losing sequence in the process.
