Not many people would have predicted Castleford’s exit from the Challenge Cup in a season where the Tigers looked set to sweep all before them. Clearly no one had handed Lee Radford and Hull FC a copy of that particular script as the holders booked themselves a spot in the semi-finals. However, despite the setback, Castleford’s steady rise to prominence under Daryl Powell remains a remarkable story and one we look at in depth this issue.
As for the Challenge Cup itself, there were further shocks off the field when it was suggested that the final might move away from its traditional home at Wembley Stadium. We investigate the pros and cons in a special feature.
With changes looking likely to the league structure in the not too distant future we take a look beyond Super League and the Championship to see if there any scope for movement between League 1 and the National Conference League.
Leigh legend John Woods tells us what he’s up to these days and looks back on an incredible career and we also pay tribute to the late Arthur Bunting as our Time Machine takes a trip back to the early 1980s when his Hull side reigned supreme.
