With both teams entering the match equal on points with Salford slightly ahead on points differential, this contest between seventh and sixth might end up being the most significant of the whole season. A victory for either team would have a significant impact on the playoff race. In fact, a victory for the Red Devils would all but guarantee their spot in the top six given their edge in points differential. But can Cas stop Salford’s impressive run and recapture the top six berth that was once theirs until their recent loss to Huddersfield?
Gareth O’Brien, who has a knee injury, as well as Kenny Edwards, who had a head injury against Warrington and left the game, could not be available for Castleford. The Tigers have not received any suspensions, therefore any additional changes made by Lee Radford will focus on bringing in new legs. With Salford’s victory over Hull FC on Thursday, there were no fresh injury worries.
Rhys Williams had a rare try-scoring appearance on the wing the other night, so Joe Burgess may return to the starting 17. Paul Rowley may consider Dan Sarginson after learning that he was included in the squad of 21 players on Tuesday. He didn’t play, but he could add some much-needed vigour. King Vuniyayaw might be compared to the same.

In Salford, Brodie Croft has received a lot of attention for his inventiveness, but former Castleford halfback Marc Sneyd has also been crucial to the Red Devils’ success in 2022, and he will be crucial in steering this game Salford’s way—especially against a great but underappreciated organiser like Danny Richardson. Both of them are excellent goal scorers, so that matchup should be intriguing as well.
Both of these players have excellent running games, which is something that the contemporary game places a lot of emphasis on, but they can also be methodical and less concerned with personal success and more interested in playing a key role in their team’s offence.
