THE TEAM NEWS
WARRINGTON WOLVES
- Warrington Wolves were punished for a woeful first half display against Huddersfield Giants on Monday as they lost for the first time in seven matches in all competitions but they will be confident of responding after the way they ended that game.
- The Giants shocked the Wolves and took a 0-20 lead into the half-time break and despite scoring 18 unanswered points to get back into the game, Warrington were unable to get themselves in front as they eventually went down 20-26.
21-man squad: Austin, Butler, Charnley, D. Clark, J. Clark, Cooper, Currie, Davis, Gannon, Hill, Hughes, King, Lineham, Mamo, Mulhern, Philbin, Ratchford, Roebuck, Thewlis, Walker, Widdop

CASTLEFORD TIGERS
- Castleford Tigers failed to build on their thrilling Challenge Cup quarter-final success against Salford Red Devils as they conceded a late try to succumb to a disappointing defeat at the hands of Hull KR last time out.
- The Tigers looked to be in a comfortable position at half-time as they held an eight-point advantage but they could only add a solitary penalty after the break and Rovers capitalised through Jordan Abdull’s try in the closing stages.
21-man squad: Bienek, Clare, Eden, Evalds, Griffin, Hepi, Holmes, Martin, Massey, Matagi, Mata’utia, McShane, Milner, Olpherts, Peachey, Richardson, Sene-Lefao, Shenton, Smith, Trueman, Turner
Unavailable: Sosaia Feki, Alex Foster, Jacques O’Neill, Liam Watts, Grant Millington, Cheyse Blair, Gareth O’Brien
Questionable: Suaia Matagi
THE PREDICTION
Both Warrington Wolves and Castleford Tigers produced underwhelming efforts on Monday as they both fell to surprising defeats at the hands of Huddersfield Giants and Hull KR respectively. The pair will be eager to respond here as they look to solidify their position in the top six but something has to give. Both have some key absentees ahead of this clash but in what should be a closely-fought game, points should be at a premium with no more than 44 set to be scored in this one.
