THE TEAM NEWS

CASTLEFORD TIGERS

  • Castleford Tigers fell to a third loss in their last four matches as they were beaten by Salford Red Devils last week but that did not prevent interim boss Andy Last from being announced as the club’s new head coach.
  • Last will now take charge of his first game as the permanent man in charge but has lost the services of Gareth Widdop who is once again struggling with illness.

21-man squad: Evalds, Eden, Turner, Fonua, Faraimo, Miller, Lawler, McShane, Griffin, Edwards, Mellor, Westerman, Milner, Broadbent, Mustapha, Matagi, Martin, Hall, Watts, Johnson, Tate

Unavailable: Danny Richardson (Injured), Gareth Widdop (Illness)

Questionable: Liam Watts

HULL KR

  • Hull KR pulled off a brilliant win as they stunned reigning champions St. Helens to make it four successive victories and they will fancy their chances of claiming another win here.
  • Rovers are performing well and claiming plenty of plaudits along the way with a best-ever start to a Super League campaign on the table if they win here in a game where they can recall James Batchelor after he served a one-match ban.

21-man squad: Coote, Ryan, Opacic, Kenny-Dowall, R. Hall, Abdull, Parcell, King, Linnett, Minchella, Litten, Kennedy, Batchelor, Storton, Keinhorst, Lewis, Hadley, Wood, Luckley, Aydin, C. Hall

THE PREDICTION

Castleford Tigers will be aiming to get their season back on track now that they have confirmed who their head coach will be. After plenty of speculation, Andy Last will take the reins on a permanent basis but has plenty to do in this clash as his side host in-form Hull KR. Rovers have won their last four matches and with Cas winning just two all season, an away victory is surely on the cards in this encounter.
