THE TEAM NEWS

CASTLEFORD TIGERS

  • Castleford Tigers were punished for a very opening hour of their game with Hull FC last week as they succumbed to defeat in their season opener, although they almost pulled off an unlikely win late on.
  • Cas fought back from 32-6 down to close the gap to 32-30 with five minutes to go but they could not complete the comeback. Lee Radford will hope for better from his side here and could bring Greg Eden into his side.

21-man squad: Evalds, Eden, Turner, Fonua, Faraimo, Widdop, Miller, Lawler, McShane, Griffin, Edwards, Mellor, Westerman, Massey, Milner, Broadbent, Vete, Mustapha, Mamo, Robb, Watts

Unavailable: Danny Richardson (Injured), Alex Sutcliffe (Injured), Suaia Matagi (Injured)

Questionable: Albert Vete

ST. HELENS

  • St. Helens will make their first appearance of the Super League season as they go in search of an unprecedented fifth title in succession, a week on from their incredible World Club Challenge success against Penrith Panthers.
  • Saints were superb in that performance in Australia but will hope the long flight home will not disrupt them here where they will have to deal without Will Hopoate, James Roby, Agnatius Paasi and Tommy Makinson.

21-man squad: Welsby, Percival, Bennison, Lomax, Dodd, Walmsley, Lees, Mata’utia, Knowles, Lussick, LMS, Sironen, Wingfield, Bell, Norman, Davies, Royle, Hurrell, Baxter, Ritson, Delaney

Unavailable: Will Hopoate (Injured), James Roby (Injured), Agnatius Paasi (Injured), Tommy Makinson (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

Castleford Tigers will hope to bounce back from their disappointing loss to Hull FC last week as they aim to take advantage of St. Helens’ lack of preparation. Saints returned from Australia earlier in the week with the World Club Challenge trophy in tow but will have to get themselves focused to come away with the points. Cas will have a point to prove after an awful opening hour of their game last week but Saints are a champion team and they have the capability of earning the win on their return to domestic action.
