- Salford Red Devils parted company with head coach Richard Marshall following a disappointing first season in charge and have turned to Paul Rowley in an attempt to turn around the club’s fortunes.
- The Red Devils have made numerous signings during the off-season and will line-up with a new halfback pairing of Brodie Croft and Marc Sneyd while Tim Lafai could prove to be an excellent addition in the backline.

THE PREDICTION
Castleford Tigers and Salford Red Devils will look to get off to a strong start in their opening game of the season with new head coaches at the helm. The Tigers narrowly missed out on silverware in last year’s Challenge Cup while they failed in their late charge to make it into the play-offs and there will be an eagerness to right the wrongs of that shortcoming. There is a lot of mystery surrounding the make-up of both teams but with the Tigers winning their last four home Super League matches against the Red Devils, they have to be favoured to improve that record.
