CASTLEFORD TIGERS VS WIGAN WARRIORS PREDICTION
Wigan Warriors clinched Challenge Cup glory last week to further highlight their dominance in the English game and it will take a good side to stop them adding more silverware as the season progresses. They come into this clash with Castleford Tigers a much better side than the hosts and with the Tigers also missing some pivotal players, this should be a one-sided contest.
