Preview:

St Helens come into this final in great form, with 4 wins from their last 5 matches and 3 straight wins on the bounce whilst Castleford have just the 1 win from their last 4 and lost heavily last time out.

In that 18-70 loss to Salford, Cas left the majority of their squad out and played a youthful side, so little can be taken form that and the fact that they are rested, whilst Saints played a strong squad against Trinity, should work in the favour of Castleford- so long as they can keep everyone fit.

Prediction: St Helens by 12
