THE TEAM NEWS
CASTLEFORD TIGERS
- Castleford Tigers kept things tight in the first half against reigning champions St. Helens last week but they were outclassed in the second period as they suffered a second straight loss to begin the season.
- The Tigers will be desperate to get off the mark here but face a tall order against Wigan Warriors and will have to travel without outside back Jake Mamo who is suffering from a back complaint.
21-man squad: Evalds, Eden, Fonua, Faraimo, Widdop, Miller, Lawler, McShane, Griffin, Edwards, Mellor, Westerman, Massey, Sutcliffe, Milner, Broadbent, Vete, Mustapha, Smith, Matagi, Watts
Unavailable: Danny Richardson (Injured), Jordan Turner (Injured), Jake Mamo (Injured)
Questionable: Greg Eden
WIGAN WARRIORS
- Wigan Warriors bounced back from their poor defeat against Hull KR in round 1 as they hammered Wakefield Trinity last week, running in 60 points without reply.
- It was a great performance on both sides of the ball from the Warriors and they could opt to name the same 17 as last week in their effort to build on that success.
21-man squad: Field, Fench, King, Wardle, Marshall, Cust, Smith, Singleton, Powell, Byrne, Isa, Farrell, Smithies, Cooper, Ellis, Havard, Pearce-Paul, Mago, O’Neill, Miski, Nsemba
Unavailable: Ryan Hampshire (Injured), Iain Thornley (Injured)

THE PREDICTION
Castleford Tigers made it back-to-back defeats to begin the season and the pressure may well start to build if they fail to defeat Wigan Warriors in this contest. It will be a tough ask for the Tigers as they face another difficult contest on the back of losing to reigning champions St. Helens last week. The Warriors come into this on the back of a 60-0 thrashing of Wakefield Trinity and while this will be a tougher encounter, the away side should have what it takes to claim another success.
