Tigers squad for #RivalsRound clash

Interim Head Coach Andy Last has named a 21-man Fords squad ahead of this Thursday’s #RivalsRound clash against Wakefield 

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

Cas will be looking to build on a strong performance, despite defeat, in the south of France after a late try from McMeekin broke stole the game with four minutes left. 

The Fords will have revenge on their minds after last season’s home defeat at the hands of Trinity, who currently sit just two points below them in the table. 

Jacob Miller is in contention to feature against his old side for the first time since making the switch, while Joe Westerman knows both sides of this fixture having featured in both camps. 

Gareth Widdop drops out of the squad while Adam Milner will serve the second of his two-game suspension so will not be involved; however the Tigers ranks have been bolstered by the return of Niall Evalds from injury, and the loan signing of Luis Johnson from Hull Kingston Rovers.
