 Rhinos Win Massive Scrap Against the Tigers Despite the talk of another fundamental change to the 2020 season being on the immediate agenda, both Richard Agar and Daryl Powell were focussed on the first Leeds v Castleford derby in fifteen months as the Rhinos looked to make ground on the Catalans Dragons while the Tigers were intent on making life as difficult as they could for their neighbours.
Both sides were at near full strength and it was certain to be a heated affair, despite the chilly conditions, at Emerald Headingley. Leeds were favourites with the bookies, the Tigers getting a ten-point start on the handicap coupon. But this was the ‘derby' and anything was possible.
A nineteen-point win would lift the Tigers above the Giants and into seventh, but Leeds knew that a win wouldn't be enough to see them into the top four but would ease the pressure coming from Hull FC behind them.
