Hull KR vs Castleford Tigers prediction
Castleford Tigers have proven capable of shocking all of Super League in the past, as they did earlier this month when defeating Wigan Warriors on the road. However, more often than not they’ve been on the losing side and unfortunately for them, the margins have been high. Each of Castleford’s last three defeats have seen them lose by more than 30 points, including a 72-6 thrashing at the hands of Warrington Wolves and most recently a 10-50 beating at the hands of Hull FC.
That doesn’t bode well for them against Super League champions Hull KR, who have won their last five in all competitions, scoring over 45 points in four of those games, all of which they won by over 30 points. When taking into account the quality of their recent attacking play and the brittle nature of the Tigers’ backline, expect the same outcome to occur in this one.
