The Castleford Tigers travel to the DW Stadium on Friday night to face the Wigan Warriors.

World Champions, Wigan Warriors, will be looking to continue their form in 2024 after coming off a 6-60 win over the Tigers in the Challenge Cup last week, booking their place in the Semi Final.

Matt Peets men have been impressive so far this season and won't take the Tigers lightly.

Opposition View

Matt Peet has made one change to his line-up to face the Tigers as Willie Isa's injury last week against the Tigers sidelines the Wigan man, Mike Cooper comes in to replace him in the 21 man squad. Youngster Junior Nsemba may step up in his place after impressing at the Jungle.

The Squads

Wigan Warriors: Jai Field, Abbas Miski, Adam Keighran, Jake Wardle, Liam Marshall, Bevan French, Harry Smith, Brad O'Neil, Liam Farrell, Kaide Ellis, Mike Cooper, Patrick Mago, Luke Thompson, Kruise Leeming, Tyler Dupree, Harvie Hill, Junior Nsemba, Ryan Hampshire, Tiaki Chan, Zach Eckersley, Jacob Douglas.

 

Castleford Tigers: Jack Broadbent, Sam Wood, Innes Senior, Danny Richardson, Jacob Miller, Liam Watts, Elie El Zakhem, Alex Mellorr, Liam Horne, Rowan Milnes, Josh Hodson, Sam Hall, Charbel Tasipale, Cain Robb, Brad Martin, Samy Kibula, George Hill, Daniel Hindmarsh, Louis Senior.

 

Ones to watch

Liam Marshall - Liam Marshall crashed over 4 times against the Tigers last week, the tricky winger can cause problems at both ends of the field and is more than capable of scoring tries.

 

Bevan French - 2023's Man of Steel Bevan French has been causing defences issues for multiple seasons now, the halfback made it look easy in the Challenge cup assisting multiple tries as well as getting one for himself.
