Castleford boss Lee Radford is happy letting rivals in through the door - as it’s improving his side.
The days of pre-season training just being a hard slog are long gone. But one of Radford’s favoured practices is taking on opposition clubs in full behind-closed-doors sessions. Super League foes Wakefield have already faced Tigers as they step up preparations for next month’s big kick-off.
Championship sides Featherstone, Keighley and York have also offered opposition - and RFL referees have even come in to make sure things don’t get out of hand. Radford, who revealed he’s yet to open talks about a new deal after 2023, isn’t worried about giving away secrets.
