THE TEAM NEWS

LEEDS RHINOS

  • Leeds Rhinos suffered a second humiliating loss in succession as they were nilled for the second week running, this time going down 61-0 to Catalans Dragons.
  • That is now 111 points without reply across 160 minutes for the Rhinos and another loss here would pile the pressure on head coach Rohan Smith whose side have crumbled in the second half of the season.

21-man squad: Fusitu’a, Newman, Handley, Oledzki, Martin, Smith, O’Connor, Lisone, Olpherts, Holroyd, McDonnell, Gannon, Hooley, Walters, Tindall, Donaldson, Johnson, Sinfield, Edgell, Lumb, Nicholson-Watton

CASTLEFORD TIGERS

  • Castleford Tigers have managed to avoid relegation but it has still been an alarming season for them with them going down to a one-sided loss to Wigan Warriors last week.
  • That is now two wins in 10 for the Tigers but they have a chance to end the season on a high here ahead of an inevitable clear out over the off-season.

21-man squad: Eden, Turner, Miller, Lawler, Edwards, Mellor, Massey, Broadbent, Mustapha, Matagi, Robb, Martin, Wallis, Hall, Qareqare, Watts, Johnstone, Tsikrikas, Horne, Austin, Rooney

THE PREDICTION

These two teams have both performed dreadfully this season and this is likely to be a low-quality affair to wrap the year up for the pair. Leeds Rhinos have fallen away dreadfully in the second half of the campaign while it has been a year to forget for Castleford Tigers. Neither come into this with anything resembling remotely good form but with the Rhinos seemingly at an all-time low, the Tigers are the slight preference to end the season with a win.
