Castleford host Hull KR at the Jungle in this 4th round clash (Sky Sports 2 18:15), who come into this game on the back of two heavy defeats, and in the process have only managed to score 6 points over the course of the 160 minutes of play. Castleford however, also losing their last 2 games, have played the better football of the 2 teams in question. These teams will have only played each other 4 times before the game tonight, with the Rovers holding the advantage 3-1. They were 46-28 winners last year, in a season that saw them finish in 4th spot in the league. There a high expectations for Justin Morgan and his men to better what they did last year but early signs don’t hold too much promise. An out of sorts Castleford should take the spoils here; they are a best priced 7/10 (Sportingbet) to do so with the double result on Cass winning at half-time/fulltime paying 6/5 with the same firm.
James Evans has opened the scoring 2 out of 3 times so far this season and is 14/1 (various) to do the same again but we like the look of ex-Wiganer Shaun Ainscough to open the scoring on his debut for the Tigers (12/1 various).
