THE TEAM NEWS

CASTLEFORD TIGERS

  • Castleford Tigers secured what could be a crucial victory in their efforts to finish in the top six as they got the better of Catalans Dragons in golden point to make it back-to-back successes.
  • The Tigers have struggled for consistency so far this year but will hope that this is the start of a strong run of form and their chances could be boosted here with fullback Niall Evalds back in the squad after a two-month absence.

21-man squad: 1 Niall Evalds, 2 Derrell Olpherts, 4 Jake Mamo, 5 Bureta Faraimo, 6 Jake Trueman, 7 Danny Richardson, 9 Paul McShane, 10 George Lawler, 11 Kenny Edwards, 12 Adam Milner, 13 Joe Westerman, 14 Nathan Massey 15 George Griffin, 17 Mahe Fonua, 22 Daniel Smith, 23 Greg Eden, 24 Cheyse Blair, 25 Suaia Matagi, 28 Brad Martin, 33 Jason Qareqare, 37 Alex Mellor

Unavailable: Callum McLelland, Sosaia Feki, Jordan Turner, Alex Sutcliffe, Gareth O’Brien, Ryan Hampshire, Liam Watts

Questionable: Niall Evalds

HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS

  • Huddersfield Giants overcame a slow start to their clash with Hull KR last week as the Challenge Cup runners-up made it six consecutive victories in Super League to solidify their spot in the top four.
  • The Giants played some impressive stuff as they eased their way to a comfortable victory and despite losing the in-form Ricky Leutele to injury, Toby King is likely to slot in straight away here having arrived on loan from Warrington Wolves.

21-man squad: 1 Will Pryce, 2 Jermaine McGillvary, 5 Ashton Golding, 6 Tui Lolohea, 9 Danny Levi, 10 Michael Lawrence, 11 Josh Jones, 12 Chris McQueen, 13 Luke Yates, 14 Matty English, 15 Joe Greenwood, 17 Owen Trout, 18 Sebastine Ikahihifo, 20 Oliver Wilson, 21 Leroy Cudjoe, 22 Louis Senior, 23 Oliver Russell, 25 Innes Senior, 26 Nathan Mason, 29 Sam Hewitt, 37 Toby King

Unavailable: Theo Fages, Chris Hill, Adam O’Brien, Jack Cogger, Ricky Leutele

THE PREDICTION

Castleford Tigers secured an important win last week as they opened a two-point gap over Hull KR in the race to make the play-offs. They edged a thrilling clash with Catalans Dragons thanks to Danny Richardson’s drop goal in golden point. The Tigers will now go in search of a third straight success but this will not be easy against an in-form Huddersfield Giants outfit. Ian Watson’s side swept Hull KR aside last week to make it six successive league victories and they have to be fancied to keep their winning streak intact having won the past three meetings against the Tigers.
