Castleford Tigers Team News: Rimbu missing

Leeds Rhinos Team News: One change for visitors
Leeds Rhinos have made just the one change to their squad for the short trip to Castleford, that being the call up of Ethan Clark-Wood. The outside-back replaces Alfie Edgell, who is suffering from a shoulder injury.
Squad: Lachie Miller, Harry Newman, Ash Handley, Ryan Hall, Brodie Croft, Matt Frawley, Mikolaj Oledzki, Keenan Palasia, James Bentley, James McDonnell, Camerson Smith, Jarrod O’Connor, Sam Lisone, Morgan Gannon, Cooper Jenkins, Jake Connor, Tom Holroyd, Jack Sinfield, Riley Lumb, Ethan Clark-Wood, Kallum Watkins
Castleford Tigers vs Leeds Rhinos Prediction
Plenty of eyes will no doubt be on McGuire here as he takes on his hometown club and the side he had so much success with as a player. However, the inexperienced head coach has his work cut out for him when taking into account the form of Leeds Rhinos, who have won four of their last five games.
Leeds Rhinos are likely to take the game to Castleford early on in this one with an eye on grabbing an early lead. Momentum is in the favour of the Rhinos and Castleford may well struggle to contain their frontline. Expect Leeds to wind up too strong for the hosts over the course of 80 minutes.
