Match preview

Castleford Tigers beat Hull KR 33-32 via a golden point in last season's Betfred Challenge Cup but the Robins can exact their revenge in their quarter-final rematch on Friday.

That defeat aside, KR have had the measure of Cas in recent times and took them apart during a 26-10 league win in February.

Rovers have posted 26 points or more in their last four meetings with the Tigers and they arrive for this contest in decent fettle having hammered Warrington 34-18 last time out.

Castleford thumped Toulouse in their last outing but they have lost all four away league matches this season and their only away win came at beleaguered Leeds in the sixth round of this competition.

The Tigers made it all the way to the final last season where they were beaten by St Helens. But they are still coming to terms with life under new coach Lee Radford and only bottom-of-the-table Toulouse have conceded more points than them in the league in 2022.

Radford led Hull FC to back-to-back Challenge Cup titles in 2016 and 2017 but his current side's run could be ended by his former old foes.
