Preview

Leeds Rhinos' wait for a second win of the season continues after they surrendered the lead at home on Thursday to draw 20-20 against Huddersfield Giants.

While the Rhinos showed signs of improvement, they were unable to stop Ian Watson's men from scoring two late tries. Leeds will take the slight positive that they picked up one point, but that extra-time period will have done them no favours as they prepare to tackle local
rivals Castleford Tigers.

All three of Castleford's wins in Super League have come in their last four matches, including a 40-16 victory against Leeds in the Challenge Cup.

Lee Radford's side have won their last two games at home, and with Leeds still without several big names, they should struggle on their travels once again.

The Rhinos have lost three of their last four on the road, and they look to have a lack of options at full-back. Jack Walker and Richie Myler remain sidelined, while Aidan Sezer is not fully fit and any decision made to recall him could be a risky one.

Like Leeds, Hull FC lost their Easter weekend derby and the Black and Whites have now lost three in a row.

Any early signs this season that Brett Hodgson's side could challenge for the title have now disappeared. The Australian will also be without prop Brad Fash after he was charged with a Grade E offence on Saturday, and they will miss his power through the middle.

Warrington's campaign seems to be finally trending in the right direction. They may benefit from the exhausting Easter schedule as they try to record back-to-back victories for
the first time since February.

Powell's side ended a run of five straight defeats against Salford on Thursday, and they can move above Hull FC if they collect another two points.
