Shenton is the only member of either of tonight’s squads who played in the winner-takes-all derby between Tigers and Wakefield Trinity at Belle Vue in September, 2006, when Castleford were relegated from Super League after losing 29-17.
Cas will go into tonight’s home Betfred Super-8s derby knowing a point will be enough to secure the league leaders’ shield for the first time in the club’s history. Shenton missed last week’s win at Salford Red Devils due to a back problem, but has been named in Tigers’ initial 19-man squad.
