Super League - Round 27 - Salford City Reds vs Castleford Tigers
Salford City Reds vs Castleford Tigers (+10pts/14pts)
When talking about Castleford’s relegation fears this week, ex-Wigan coach Ian Millward said, "They will feel they are safe and their job is done". A comment that must have made every Tigers in the land reluctantly chuckle and shake their head at the same time.
The ‘job’ for the Tigers is far from ‘done’! A feeling felt throughout each and every of the 22 coach loads of Tigers’ fans travelling to the Willows tonight, hoping to spur their side on to victory and avoid a final weekend showdown against relegation rival the Wakefield Wildcats (an outcome they so desperately want to avoid).
Ian Millward, “The game is also on at the same time as Wakefield's visit to Bradford so they won't know if the pressure is back on or not.”
Utter rubbish. The pressure is definitely on, make no mistake about it. Since when has a side felt safe from relegation when it is still a possibiltiy? Castleford need one more point from their remaining two Super League fixtures to be assured safety, easier said than done with their last two games being played away from the Jungle (away vs Salford, away vs Wakefield).
Like bluesquare, I had this game down as a -10pts handicap, I a, more than happy take Castleford with a 14pts start, considering what's at stake. The City Reds, guaranteed a playoff place, have only covered a 14pt margin, at home, 5 times this year; 4 of which came in their first 4 home games of the season. They are strong at home but normally win or lose by very close margins.
I think Salford will snatch it! But will be surprised if they can stretch the Tigers out by more than 14pts.
Salford: Hodgson, McGuinness, Moule, Dunemann, Robinson, Coley, Alker, Rutgerson, Finnigan, Charles, Highton, Wilshere, Haggerty, Littler, Myler, Brocklehurst, Adamson, Lima.
Castleford: Platt, Shenton, Dyer, Sculthorpe, Henderson, Nutley, Bird, Huby, R Fletcher, Viane, Fa'aoso, Manu, McGoldrick, Ward, Davis, Lupton, A Fletcher, Brough.
Recommendation: Castleford +14pts @ 1.90 betfred (2pts)
Prediction - Salford win by 1pt
(Scale 1-5pts)
