How do the Super League Play-offs work?

After 29 regular-season matches, five clubs are still in the hunt to be crowned Super League champions in 2019.

Gone are the Super 8s and two semi-finals to decide which two teams will reach the Grand Final.

Instead, a four-week, five-team play-off system will determine the sides that will contest the Old
