Tigers squad for Toulouse trip

Lee Radford has named a 20-man squad for the Tigers' away match against Toulouse Olympique on Sunday. 

Castleford’s squad news is sponsored and brought to you by GeoShield.

Sunday’s Round 15 fixture will be the Tigers’ first ever visit to the home of Betfred Super League’s newest side and kicks off at 3.30pm local time in France, which is 2.30pm here in the UK.

The Tigers are looking to get back to winning ways after a poor second half at home last Saturday afternoon against Wigan Warriors ended a five-match home winning run. Sat in seventh in the table, the Fords' focus is all about getting back in the play-off positions as we roll into the second half of the season.

Radford’s only change to the squad that was named for the Wigan clash is Gareth O’Brien who came off in that match due to a calf injury. It is hoped if O’Brien’s rehab goes well he will be back for selection for the Fords’ home game against Catalans Dragons on Sunday, 26th June. 

The Stade Ernest Wallon has been a happy home ground in years gone by for Toulouse, and it is where they have earned their two league wins in 2022. Their headline victory came in March over the champions St Helens, and then they threw our neighbours Wakefield Trinity a big blow during May beating them too.
