Hull FC and Castleford Tigers will both be eager for the season to end as they look to the future. The pair have both underwhelmed this year but it is the Black and Whites that have certainly been the bigger let down of the two. All three of their wins this season have occurred on home soil so that is a positive here but the Tigers look the better team and are favoured to prevail.
