Castleford Tigers are staying in Betfred Super League, but former Leeds Rhinos duo Alex Mellor and Danny Ward admit finishing 11th in the table is nothing to celebrate.
Tigers have won six games in 2023, two of them against Rhinos and Mellor said his old side have “massively underperformed as well”.“I know from being there they expect way more than they’ve done this year,” he reflected. “There’s a lot of pressure on Leeds when they aren’t playing well, because of the fanbase.
“There’s a lot of fans there so they can either get right behind you or be right in your face. They are expected to make the play-offs every year and coming off the Grand Final last year, there’s going to be some unhappy faces there for sure.”Leeds have conceded 111 points without scoring in their past two games and if Tigers can make a good start, the atmosphere could turn against the hosts, Mellor predicted.
