It’s a West Yorkshire derby and it’s a game that is widely anticipated as the tie of the round.
No wonder then that it is primetime BBC slot on Saturday afternoon as Jamie Jones-Buchanan goes in search of his first win as Leeds Rhinos interim boss following the stepping down of Richard Agar.
Meanwhile, Castleford Tigers boss Lee Radford has won just one of his six games in charge of the Tigers.
