THE TEAM NEWS
WIGAN WARRIORS
- Wigan Warriors were able to get away with an under-par performance in their prior game against Toulouse but they were made to pay for an error-strewn performance last week against Catalans Dragons.
- The Warriors were nilled in what was an alarming performance and while there will be pressure on to respond to that humiliation, Wigan will have to make do without props Brad Singleton and Kaide Ellis after both were handed bans this week.
21-man squad: 2 Jake Bibby, 3 Zak Hardaker, 5 Liam Marshall, 6 Cade Cust, 7 Thomas Leuluai, 9 Sam Powell, 10 Patrick Mago, 11 Willie Isa, 12 Liam Farrell, 13 John Bateman, 14 Morgan Smithies, 16 Harry Smith, 17 Oliver Partington, 19 Ethan Havard, 20 Liam Byrne, 21 Kai Pearce-Paul, 22 Joe Shorrocks, 23 Jai Field, 24 Abbas Miski, 25 Sam Halsall, 28 Brad O’Neill
Unavailable: Bevan French, Iain Thornley, Brad Singleton, Kaide Ellis
Questionable: Ethan Havard
CASTLEFORD TIGERS
- Castleford Tigers were unable to build on their maiden win of the season as they suffered a fourth loss in their five matches to date with Huddersfield Giants getting the better of them in an enthralling contest last week.
- The Tigers responded brilliantly to trailing 18-0 at the break and were able to score 24 unanswered points but they were unable to hold on and ultimately fell to a disappointing loss in the circumstances, although they should get a few players back on board this week.
21-man squad: 2 Derrell Olpherts, 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, 19 Tyla Hepi, 20 James Clare, 21 Alex Sutcliffe, 22 Daniel Smith, 23 Greg Eden, 24 Cheyse Blair, 25 Suaia Matagi, 28 Brad Martin, 31 Gareth O’Brien, 32 Cain Robb
Unavailable: Jacques O’Neill, Callum McLelland, Sosaia Feki, Adam Milner, Danny Richardson, Niall Evalds, Nathan Massey, Jordan Turner
Questionable: George Griffin, Jake Mamo
THE PREDICTION
Wigan Warriors suffered their first loss of the season last week and it occurred in spectacular fashion as they were on the end of a 28-0 defeat to Catalans Dragons. They will be desperate to respond to that back on home soil and have to be fancied to do so against a struggling Castleford Tigers outfit. The away side have won just one of their five games so far this term with their defensive efforts leaving a lot to be desired and Wigan should be able to exploit their weaknesses to cover the -11.5 handicap in this one.
