Leeds Match Preview
This Saturday, Castleford face local rivals Leeds Rhino´s. The match promises to be an interesting one with a fight to the end. Last time these two teams met, it was Cas´Tigers who caused the upset at the Jungle. Will Leeds be looking for revenge?
One thing we can be sure of is that Terry Matterson´s team will be looking to increase their number of matches won, and another win over the Rhino´s would make Tigers´fans extatic.
With Joe Westerman due back in England tomorrow, Tery Matterson will make the decision as to whether the 19year-old will be named in his final 17. Joe was recently named in England´s international 19 man squad, but was one of the unfortunate ones to be dropped when the 17 men were named. The Tigers head coach, Terry Matterson, looked on the bright side saying, "It would have been nice for Joe to play this time but I'm sure that his chance will come. I felt that he might be one of the two to drop out when Tony Smith finalised his seventeen, but the experience of being in camp and part of the international set up won't have done him any harm at all. He will now know how things work and will have mixed with some of the best players in the game, so he can only have learnt from the five days which will benefit him next time he is called up."
Meanwhile, Leeds boss, Brian McClennan, named his 19 today and opted against playing the 6 men chosen for International selection. Eric Anselme and Nick Scrutton will also miss the match, Anselme is playing for France and Scrutton is suspended following his red card at last weeks game.
Good luck to the lads for tomorrows clash, get out there and play your hearts out lads!
