The Fords will be looking to build on what was a special night at The Jungle last time out when a Gareth Widdop drop goal and a late Jack Broadbent try sealed the two points for Cas against Warrington.

Now back on the road, the Tigers will face a St Helens side who are coming off a disappointing defeat at Hull FC with the Black and Whites putting Paul Wellens’ men to the sword by coming out 34-6 victors.

There are three changes to the Cas squad which was chosen for the Wire contest. Nathan Massey is still feeling the effects of being on the end of a nasty challenge against Warrington. Youngsters Aaron Willis and George Hill also miss out this time around.

Riley Dean is in line to run out for his Castleford debut having been unable to face his parent club last week. Albert Vete returns to the group after recovering from a calf injury and Mahe Fonua is the other inclusion to this week’s squad list.
