Jon Wilkin reveals the two clubs he believes could get relegated

Last night, Castleford Tigers’ tough start to the season got no better as they were soundly beaten away at Huddersfield Giants.

It means the Tigers have lost their first four games to start the season and that their first game after Lee Radford’s exit and Andy Last taking over ended in defeat.

After the game, Sam Tomkins was very critical of the way Castleford set up.

He said on Sky Sports: “They’ve got to take it right back and build from the bottom. I felt like Gaz Widdop was running around and organising everything, you had people like George Lawler at the back of plays like a full-back. A prop playing nine but acting like a full-back, I thought Gaz had a dig but the defence was so poor that the attack didn’t have a chance.

“All good teams are built on defence, look at St Helens for the last four years. The best defence every year and the best team every year.”

Meanwhile, Jon Wilkin warned Castleford that they just need to avoid relegation because they won’t turn things around this year:

“Just don’t get relegated Cas! They can do whatever they want, they’re not going to turn it around this year.”

He then emphasised that they and Wakefield Trinity have a chance of being relegated:

“They’re a chance, it’s between them and Wakefield who goes down for me but Cas just need to not get relegated this year and then hope they can make something up next year and the year’s going forward.”
