Trinity know that avoiding defeat will secure a magnificent sixth-place finish to the regular season and a win over their local neighbours will give them a boost before the Super 8s, as well as next week’s massive Ladbrokes Challenge Cup semi-final against Warrington Wolves.

Chester said: “In terms of what they [Castleford] do with the ball, they are an exciting group of players.

Luke Gale has probably been the form half-back in the competition all season, along with Milky [Jacob Miller] and Denny Solomona, what a finisher that guy is.

“Daryl [Powell] has got them playing a really good brand of football. It’s exciting to watch and I enjoy watching them.

“They have got a lot of threats on the edges but also a very tough, workmanlike pack, all willing to work hard for each other.”

Chester added: “They are a similar team to ourselves and it makes for an interesting game on Sunday.”
