Castleford Tigers Off The Mark After Defeating Leeds Rhinos Just when you thought that things couldn´t get any worse for winless second bottom side Castleford Tigers; they announce that they have lost mercurial utility-back Jake Mamo to a career ending back injury; and then they have to face a Leeds Rhinos side who arrived at the Jungle for the derby game on the back of two wins as they look to continue their good form after a disappointing start to their season.
A win for the Rhinos would lift them to third in the table ahead of the rest of the weekend games and a win by twenty-three or more points would push the Tigers into bottom spot on points difference.
The Tigers needed a ninety-six point victory to raise them up by a single place in the table.
The Rhinos were favourites with the bookies but only just, the home side having been given an eight-point start on the handicap coupon.
