Danny Ward has been here before. As a player, the recently appointed Castleford head coach was involved in the infamous win-or-bust 'Battle of Belle Vue' in 2006 when the loser of the Tigers' game against Wakefield Trinity would be relegated.
Friday's Betfred Super League clash between the two West Yorkshire rivals at what is now officially known as Be Well Support Stadium does not have quite as much riding on it, but with both sides level on points at the bottom of the table and with only five regular-season games to come afterwards, it does hold plenty of significance.Ward, who was in the Tigers second row that night 17 years ago when a 29-17 defeat to Wakefield saw them drop out of Super League, understands the comparisons.
The former Great Britain international spent the 2022/23 season in rugby union as defence coach for National League One outfit Rosslyn Park, where he embraced being outside the full-time environment and dealing with the different scenarios which crop up when players are only training a couple of times a week and have day-jobs outside of their rugby commitments.
