THE TEAM NEWS

CASTLEFORD TIGERS

• Castleford Tigers were under the threat of relegation for much of last season but a late rally saved them and they will hope for a much better campaign in 2024.
• Danny Ward departed having kept the Tigers afloat following his mid-season arrival but new boss Craig Lingard has it all to do with a squad that looks severely short on quality.

21-MAN SQUAD: Hooley, Simm, Broadbent, Wood, Senior, Richardson, Miller, Watts, Lawler, El-Zakhem, Westerman, Horne, Putt, Hall, Mustapha, Tasipale, Qareqare, Robb, Martin, Kibula, Vete

WIGAN WARRIORS

• Wigan Warriors timed their run to the Grand Final to perfection and defeated Catalans Dragons in the showpiece at Old Trafford to claim a well-deserved title.
• The Warriors went on an impressive recruitment drive during the off-season and will take some beating this year, adding the likes of Luke Thompson, Adam Keighran and Kruise Leeming to an already stacked squad.

21-MAN SQUAD: Field, Miski, Keighran, Wardle, Marshall, French, Smith, O’Neill, Byrne, Isa, Farrell, Ellis, Cooper, Mago, Thompson, Leeming, Dupree, Hill, Hampshire, Eckersley, Forber

THE PREDICTION

Castleford Tigers were in a relegation battle for the majority of last season and they look like one of a few teams that will languish near the bottom of the table once again this year. They start this new season against defending champions Wigan Warriors and with the away side entering this term with what appears to be a stronger squad than last time around, the visitors can get off to a strong start by winning comfortably on the road.

TIP: Wigan Warriors -12
