Rhinos Rewind: Castleford Tigers

Ahead of Leeds Rhinos and Castleford going head to head in Saturday's double header, we've gone into the archives to pull out a clash for the ages between the two clubs, and a player that represented both the Tigers and Rhinos during their careers.
Take a look...
Classic Clash
The Rhinos ran out 46-14 winners against Castleford thanks to a hat trick from Willie Poching and more McGuire magic.
There was never any doubt over the outcome once Rhinos winger Marcus Bai pounced on a defensive error by youngster Dean Ripley to score the first of Leeds' eight tries after only two minutes, but it was Poching who led the way with his three great tries in the convincing win.
Played for both - Ryan Bailey
Better known for his time in blue and amber than black and amber, Ryan Bailey came through the Academy ranks at the Rhinos and was a key part of the golden generation of players.
He won the World Club Challenge and Super League titles multiple times with the Rhinos, including six Grand Final trophies, but one of his sweetest triumphs was defeating Castleford in the Challenge Cup final in 2014 to claim his first win at Wembley.
After leaving Leeds after 2014, Bailey left Hull KR to sign with Castleford, where he played six games during thr 2015 season. He scored one try but was later released on the conclusion of the season.
