Bookies favourites revealed for relegation Grand Final

There are some big games this weekend as Leeds Rhinos and Warrington Wolves, Wigan Warriors and Hull FC and St Helens and Hull KR meet in huge games in the play-off race but the biggest game is the clash between Wakefield Trinity and Castleford Tigers tonight.

The game could effectively decide who stays in Super League and who is relegated, which is even more important this year than ever.

This is because traditional promotion and relegation is set to come to an end under IMG next year.

The game kicks off at 20:00 and is live on Sky Sports and could be seen as the biggest game of the season and one of the biggest ever.

There has been a lot of talk about the game and who are the favourites, so we have taken a look at the odds.

Betfred have Wakefield as 4/6 favourites with Castleford 5/6.

In terms of the handicap, the Tigers have been given a 2 point start at 21/20 showing just how tight it is expected to be.

Both sides have only won four games all season and currently sit tied on eight points a piece but a win on Friday night under the Belle Vue lights will see one team pull two points clear and leave their rivals staring down the barrel of relegation.

Wakefield have won their last four games at home but this fifth win would be the most important of the season so far if they can manage it, and they’ll be close to full strength for the game.

Recent signing Josh Griffin has now completed his ban and will be set to debut in the game against his former club, whilst the half back pairing of Luke Gale and Mason Lino looks set to go again with that experience proving vital potentially.

As for Castleford they now have a new man in charge with Andy Last being dismissed after their loss to Huddersfield Giants at Wheldon Road most recently.

Former London Broncos boss Danny Ward has taken over and he’ll be hoping to get off to a winning start and snap the Tigers’ current losing streak of five matches.

The Tigers are without Riley Dean who was recalled by parent club Warrington Wolves but they’ve recently made plenty of signings including PNG international Liam Horne and Lebanese star Charbel Tasipale.

Danny Ward has selected his first 21-man squad as Tigers Head Coach.

There are two changes to the Cas squad which was picked ahead of their previous fixture against Huddersfield Giants. Young back Will Tate and Alex Sutcliffe, who is currently on loan at Halifax Panthers, come out of the pack.

Jordan Turner has had a speedy recovery from his thumb injury to return to the squad and Blake Austin also comes in for what could be his Castleford debut.

As for Wakefield, they have Jai Whitbread back in the mix, Hugo Salabio back from his ban and Josh Griffin set to debut against the side he turned.
