That’s what we’re considering today, those players with a point to prove in 2023 and we’re looking at the Castleford Tigers.

Many in the Tigers squad will have a point to prove in 2023. Those who have been there over the last two seasons will be frustrated that they missed out on the play-offs due to a final day defeat in both 2021 and 2022.
