Winless Castleford Tigers have been urged to follow the lead set by near-neighbours Wakefield Trinity.
Castleford, who play host to Salford Red Devils on Friday, are second from bottom in Betfred Super League after six rounds and still hunting their first win. Tigers’ playing budget has been cut this year as the club focus on making off-field improvements to secure their top-flight spot under the new grading system being introduced at the end of the 2024 campaign. Coach Craig Lingard admits that has impacted his team’s ability to compete, but says the club are working to a long-term plan.
“We are 12 months behind and hopefully next year we’ll have the start of a new stand, owner-investment, improvements to the ground and big-name players coming in - and hopefully we’ll be a Super League club. “We are at the start of that journey and there has to be a lot of patience, hard work and determination put into it off the field.
