In the space of 15 months, Castleford Tigers have gone through four head coaches and lost more games than they would care to remember.

The Tigers flirted with relegation in 2023 and made an inauspicious start to this season amid an early injury crisis. But the clouds are beginning to lift at Wheldon Road after Craig Lingard's side backed up a 40-0 drubbing of London Broncos with a gutsy 28-28 draw at Leigh Leopards. To highlight the extent of their recent struggles, it is the first time Castleford have gone unbeaten in back-to-back games since July 2022.

Given their own troubles, there is little chance of Castleford falling into the trap of thinking Saints are there for the taking. 'It's massively dangerous,' said Lingard. 'You tend to find that when any good team has a bad week, they follow it up with a really good one. It's very rare you get a good team having two bad weekends on the bounce.
