Castleford versus Wakefield is already being billed as a relegation dogfight and it’s only April.
But England full-back Niall Evalds says Tigers view tonight’s bottom-two battle as a perfect chance to kick-start a Super League play-offs push rather than get embroiled in the basement mess. Castleford have won just one of their opening seven games. And normally that would spell disaster.
But the West Yorkshire club’s fierce derby rivals Trinity have lost all seven outings so far. And, remarkably, Friday’s 38-0 drubbing at champions St Helens was the fourth time they’ve been nilled already this year. Fit-again Evalds has missed Castleford’s last three games due to a shoulder problem.
