Leeds and Wigan level on 36 points, Shield decider looms at Headingley on 5 September

Leeds Rhinos and Wigan are tied on 36 points atop Super League with four rounds left. Leeds lead only on points difference after a home loss to Leigh. Head coach Brad Arthur says away trips to York and St Helens are the ideal tune-up before the sides meet at Headingley on Friday 5 September in a potential League Leaders' Shield decider. Leeds have not won the Shield since 2015; Wigan have claimed it three times in six years.
