THE TEAM NEWS
WARRINGTON WOLVES
- Warrington Wolves were made to work hard but they eventually overcame a stubborn Leeds Rhinos outfit in last week’s season opener but they have plenty to work on after that showing.
- The Wolves needed a late try to claim the victory despite playing against 12 men for the majority of the contest and in their efforts to make it back-to-back wins, Wire will have to cope with the loss of key man Daryl Clark after suffering a concussion in last week’s game.
21-man squad: 1 Stefan Ratchford, 2 Josh Charnley, 3 Peter Mata’utia, 4 Toby King, 5 Matty Ashton, 6 Gareth Widdop, 7 George Williams, 8 Joe Philbin, 10 Mike Cooper, 11 Ben Currie, 13 Jack Hughes, 14 Jason Clark, 15 Joe Bullock, 16 Danny Walker, 17 Matt Davis, 19 Robbie Mulhern, 22 Josh Thewlis, 23 Connor Wrench, 24 Ellis Longstaff, 25 Ellis Robson, 27 Riley Dean
Unavailable: Billy Magoulias, James Harrison, Greg Minikin, Daryl Clark, Oliver Holmes
Questionable: Jack Hughes, Toby King
CASTLEFORD TIGERS
- Castleford Tigers made an extremely underwhelming start to life under new head coach Lee Radford as they fell to defeat against Salford Red Devils in front of a packed Jungle last week.
- The Tigers were poor and despite scoring as many tries as their opponents, their ill-discipline cost them dearly with Marc Sneyd slotting four penalties with his goal-kicking proving to be the difference between the two teams.
21-man squad: 1 Niall Evalds, 2 Derrell Olpherts, 3 Jordan Turner, 4 Jake Mamo, 5 Bureta Faraimo, 6 Jake Trueman, 8 Liam Watts, 9 Paul McShane, 10 George Lawler, 11 Kenny Edwards, 13 Joe Westerman, 15 George Griffin, 17 Mahe Fonua, 21 Alex Sutcliffe, 22 Daniel Smith, 23 Greg Eden, 24 Cheyse Blair, 25 Suaia Matagi, 29 Sam Hall, 31 Gareth O’Brien, 32 Cain Robb
Unavailable: Nathan Massey, Jacques O’Neill, Callum McLelland, Sosaia Feki, Adam Milner, Danny Richardson

THE PREDICTION
The build-up to this game will be surrounding Daryl Powell taking on his old club and he will be out to claim the win to make it back-to-back successes to begin the new campaign. Castleford Tigers arrive on the back of a disappointing loss to Salford Red Devils in their opening game of the season and could find it tough going against Warrington Wolves. Powell’s new side were left frustrated against 12-man Leeds Rhinos last week but did enough to get the job done late on. The Wolves should be able to improve and in their first home game of the season, they can record another victory and should also be able to cover the -3.5 handicap in the process.
