If the surprise results of rounds 21 and 22 were not enough to prove just how competitive the 2014 Super League season is, round 23 certainly provided clear proof as the top two both suffered defeats.
Gelling Treble Routs Red Devils
Wigan started well with runs from Josh Charnley and Matt Bowen putting them in a good position in the opening sets but sadly there was no end product from the positions and a number of drive and kick sets followed for both sides inside the first ten minutes.
However in the 12th minute, Wigan looked to have opened the scoring as a kick through the Salford defence saw Sean O'Loughlin and Matt Bowen chase the ball with the former looking to touchdown before the dead ball line. Phil Bentham elected for a video review and after a number of replays, the try was awarded with Matty Smith converting successfully for a 6-0 lead.
Salford could have fallen further behind from the restart as a nice passing set from Wigan ended when Matt Bowen's long pass could only find touch and Salford survived before coming close to scoring themselves as a pacy run from Junior Sa'u saw him come within metres of the Wigan line only to be denied by a clever tackle from Dom Manfredi.
Wigan looked to have scored their second try of the evening in the 22nd minute after an interception and break from Josh Charnley saw him raced clear for a try only to be pulled back due to a knock-on in the original ball steal. Salford came close to claiming their first score of the evening when a superb 40/20 from Rangi Chase put the Red Devils in a great position but in the resulting set, Mason Caton-Brown knocked on just metres from the Wigan line.
A kick and chase from Matt Bowen forced Greg Johnson to kick the ball over the dead ball line and force Salford to dropout from under the posts with Wigan taking advantage of the good fortune as Matty Smith and Matt Bowen combined to find Anthony Gelling who swished through the Salford defence to score but a tough angle saw a failure to convert from Smith and a 10-0 lead.
Wigan increased the lead straight from the restart as Anthony Gelling picked out Josh Charnley who crossed for the try and despite a tough angle, Matty Smith converted successfully for a 16-0 lead which could have increased further just before the interval as a final tackle kick from Wigan was fumbled by Niall Evalds but Wigan were unable to take advantage.
Salford could have reduced the deficit right on the hooter as a dangerous kick from Rangi Chase found the arms of Greg Johnson but the winger was denied a try right on the line as Wigan's defence held firm to keep him out.
Wigan made a perfect start to the second half as a superb run saw Anthony Gelling cross for his second try of the evening but Phil Bentham called for a video review and after a few replays. the try was awarded and Matty Smith converted for a 22-0 lead. Salford had a great chance to register their first score of the evening when Theo Fages was tackled just before the Wigan line but a knock-on ended the move.
The Red Devils breathed a sigh of relief in the 52nd minute when a nice run from Matt Bowen put Wigan in a superb position but a horror of a grubber kick from John Bateman saw the move break down with the try line in sight.
The biggest roar of the evening so far came when Joel Tomkins entered the field but his entrance was overshadowed by a nice passing move that saw Matty Smith cross for a try but again a video review was called for and this time the try was denied which was a bit of luck for Salford.
A final tackle kick from Matty Smith saw Niall Evalds collect the ball and race clear towards the Wigan line and on course for a certain try but a stunning chase from Josh Charnley saw him catch the full-back and regain possession for Wigan.
Salford did get on the scoreboard and in strange circumstances in the 62nd minute when a final tackle kick from Rangi Chase looked to be bouncing into touch under the watchful eyes of Matt Bowen but Josh Griffin snuck in under the Wigan full-back to touch down just before the touchline. Griffin looked to add to his own effort but missed with the boot and Wigan led 22-4.
Alike the reverse meeting between the sides, Matty Smith sent over a drop goal in the 67th minute to make it 23-4 but his effort served as an appetiser for another Wigan score as a pacy run from Matt Bowen saw him break clear of the Salford defence before offloading to Anthony Gelling who crossed to complete his first hat-trick for Wigan and a nice conversion from Matty Smith made the score 29-4 to Wigan.
Wigan secured the win in the next set as a run from Williams saw him break clear and looking for support but with no fellow Warriors in sight he sidestepped his way through a number of Salford defenders before crossing for a superb try which saw Matty Smith add the conversion for a 35-4 lead.
The Wigan try scoring machine was working overtime as they were in again after a short restart from Salford saw them gain possession before a mistake from the Red Devils saw a superb kick toward the Salford line from Tony Clubb with the forward beating off the chasing Salford defenders before tapping down on the ball to score a cleverly worked try. Matty Smith added a conversion from in front of the posts and Wigan led 41-4.
The gloss on the win for Wigan came two minutes from the end as Smith sliced through the Salford defence before diving over the line for a try which strangely was sent for a video review before being awarded but Smith was unable to convert his own effort meaning he ended the game with a personal haul of 17 points as Wigan won 45-4. A correct result but slightly off with the 36-16 prediction.
Monaghan Duo Quell Dragons
Warrington bounced back from back-to back defeats with a narrow win over Catalan in Perpignan with the Wolves taking the lead after 12 minutes when Michael Monaghan signalled his comeback from injury with the opening try and with Chris Bridge converting successfully, Warrington led 6-0.
Catalan responded well and were level inside three minutes as Michael Oldfield crossed for the Dragons with the returning Thomas Bosc converting for a 6-6 scoreline that lasted until two minutes before half-time when Gene Ormsby crossed for the visitors with Chris Bridge's conversion ensuring a 12-6 lead at the interval.
Bridge increased the lead by kicking a penalty just three minutes into the second half for 14-6 but Catalan bounced back just four minutes later as Greg Mounis scored for the Dragons and Thomas Bosc was on hand to convert for 14-12.
Warrington were determind to create a gap and did so in the 53rd minute with a try from Rhys Evans and with Chris Bridge continuing his success with the boot, the lead increased to 20-12 but Catalan were not to be cast away as they responded with Micheal Oldfield's second effort of the evening on the hour and with Thomas Bosc adding a conversion, the Dragons were just two points behind at 18-20.
Not to be outdone by his brother's early try, Joel Monaghan crossed for a try in the 65th minute with Chris Bridge converting for a fifth time on the night for 26-18 but keeping in the trend of the game, Catalan responded with a try as Michael Oldfield completed his hat-trick with Thomas Bosc converting to set a tense last eight minutes with the score at 26-24 but Warrington managed to hold on for the win. An incorrect result but not far off with the prediction of 32-28.
Saints Edged Out By Airlie Birds

However, Hull had Joe Westerman to thank as they confirmed the win with two late scores with Westerman kicking a penalty for 18-12 followed by a drop goal from the restart for a 19-12 win. An incorrect result and a bit off with the prediction of 18-28.

After their stunning win over Wigan in the previous round, Bradford made it two wins in a row against sides in the top four as they defeated neighbours Leeds.
The Bulls took an early lead thanks to a Danny Williams try but Luke Gale's failure to add the conversion meant a slim lead at 4-0 which was soon cancelled out with Mitch Achurch's try in the 17th minute but Zak Hardaker was unable to convert and the sides were level at 4-4, a scoreline that lasted into the half-time interval.
Luke Gale crossed for a try just eight minutes into the second period and successfully converted his own effort for a 10-4 lead for the Bulls but the Rhinos responded as Brett Delaney scored in the 55th minute with Zak Haradker adding a conversion for 10-10.
Luke Gale edged Bradford back in front in the 67th minute with a successful penalty but Leeds took the lead for the first time when Luke Briscoe crossed for a try and despite no additional conversion, Leeds led 14-12 with just six minutes left on the clock.
Bradford regained the lead with two minutes to go as a fine try from Lee Gaskell put them ahead before Luke Gale added the conversion for 18-14 and then kicked a penalty in the final seconds to secure a famous 20-18 win for the battling Bulls. An incorrect result and but close with the prediction of 24-20 with Bradford's points tally guessed correctly.
Seven Try Giants Down Wildcats
Huddersfield boosted their top four hopes with a comfortable win over a Wakefield side who as a result suffered a dent to their play-off hopes.
The Giants raced into a 10-0 lead inside the first ten minutes with tries from Joe Wardle and Eorl Crabtree coupled Brough converting once from the two attempts but Wakefield just didn't seem to have a reply as Huddersfield increased their lead with four efforts in the space of 15 minutes.
Shaun Lunt, Craig Kopczak, Kruise Leeming and Jermaine McGillvary all crossed for tries with Brough converting all but the latter for a 32-0 lead at the half-time interval.

Huddersfield increased the lead to 36-12 with just two minutes to go when Jake Connor crossed for a try and despite Brough missing the conversion attempt, the win was firmly sealed but Wakefield had the last say as Jarrod Sammut crossed for his second score of the afternoon and successfully added a conversion to his own effort for a final score of 36-18. An incorrect result and wide prediction of 24-22.

The Vikings took an early lead after Jack Owens crossed for the opening try of the afternoon in the ninth minute but with no additional conversion, the lead was slim at 4-0 and was cancelled out in the 23rd minute when Kris Keating crossed for the Robins to level the score and the visitors missed the chance to go in front after Travis Burns failed to convert at 4-4.

Classy Cas Roar Against Broncos
Alike next week's Challenge Cup semi-final opponents, Castleford prepared for the tie with a stunning win over London as they came from behind to deny the Broncos a first win of 2014.
London went in front in the 10th minute as Olsi Krasniqi crossed for the opening try of the afternoon and with Josh Drinkwater converting for a 6-0 lead but Castleford responded with a try from a former Bronco as Luke Dorn crossed for the hosts with Marc Sneyd converting to level the score at 6-6.
