Their tale in recent years really is one of "rags to riches". As recently as 2013, they were within 30 minutes of extinction.Off the field, they have become a stable business. On it, under Daryl Powell, they have steadily grown into a team http://www.officialbostonbruins.com/Adidas-David-Krejci-Jersey capable of challenging for major trophies.Adopting an exciting, expansive style, the Tigers have been the dominant force of Super League in 2017 and finished top of the table for the first time in their 91-year history.Zak Hardaker's omission on Thursday because of a "breach of club rules" could be pointed to as a disruption in the build-up, but in truth Castleford were below the standards they have set throughout the campaign.
"Proud and excited and pumped - I can't really believe what we've just done. I think the fact that we finished second after last year and got though to the Grand Final was great - to win it was a chapter I don't think anyone thought we would write."We've sent some legends out on a Authentic Calvin Pickard Womens Jersey win today. We did it for Kevin Sinfield, Kylie Leuluai and Jamie Peacock last time and we've done it again today. I couldn't be any more proud."
"The lads have been fantastic and deserve a lot of credit. We've had tough times this season but we never stopped believing and we're thrilled to bits.

"You take your full-back out two days before the game, and you have one session of preparation - it's clearly not going to help.
"It is what it is. There's absolutely nothing we can do about that."
