Leeds Into The Six After Derby Win Over Castleford The West Yorkshire derby had it all to play for as Castleford Tigers travelled the short distance to Headingley to take on the arch enemy the Leeds Rhinos as both sides desperately needed the two points on offer.
The visitors couldn't improve their league position with a win but could increase the gap between themselves and the bottom two club while the Rhinos knew that a win by more than twelve points would lift them into the top six, at least for the next twenty hours.
The Rhinos were handicapped by ten on the coupon, the bookies thinking that it would be a Rhinos win but not necessarily a convincing one.

Much better all round performance and much more aggressive. Again is that because of who we are playing? Forwards running harder and not much passive defence going on this time. Mik, Martin, O`connor, Handley and Croft the best of our lot. Newman worse player in our team again today. And why is it when he makes a mistake it`s someone else`s fault. Grow up lad and get focussed on playing the game otherwise you are going to be another Jake Connor. Smith bombing a certain try first half with a 2 man overlap. A bit more skill and we would have scored 50 tonight.
