Castleford Tigers coach Craig Lingard admits he isn’t sure what to expect from Leeds Rhinos in Thursday’s derby at the Jungle.
Rhinos have won three of their five Betfred Super League games so far, but are yet to produce an 80-minute performance. Lingard reckons their unpredictable style makes them difficult to prepare for, but has warned his men they need to be alert on every play.
” While Tigers are yet to get off the mark in the competition, form notoriously counts for little in West Yorkshire derbies. Lingard will be hoping for a repeat of last year when Castleford picked up their first victory of the campaign, at the fifth attempt, at home to Leeds. It is a big game for Tigers as they try to build on last weekend’s Challenge Cup win at Batley Bulldogs and Lingard stressed: “It is always significant for Castleford when they play Leeds.
