Tigers Triumph Rocks the Rhinos It was eighth against ninth as two of 2016s early underachievers Castleford and Leeds met in the traditional Easter derby.
After last week’s big loss at Warrington, a win for Castleford Tigers would see them up to fifth in Super League. But a win for their neighbours would see the Rhinos leapfrog the Tigers into the top eight for the first time in 2016.
The Tigers were without several key players including Ben Roberts, Luke Dorn, Michael Shenton and Junior Moors, but the Rhinos had just two changes from last week’s win over the Saints with Tom Briscoe making his return from injury in place of the injured Ryan Hall, and Jimmy Keinhorst a late replacement for Brett Delaney. There was still no return for skipper Danny McGuire who is still not quite ready for first team action.
