Hull KR (A) - Match Preview

Castleford Tigers travel to Craven Park on Friday night to face Hull KR!

A defeat last time out for the Fords saw Leigh take the two points at The Jungle and Cas will be looking to change their form this week.

Last time out it was a drop goal that seperated the two sides, this week's fixture should be another close contest.

"Jason Qareqare makes the squad this week after overcoming his hamstring strain that left him out last week but unfortunately Corey Hall misses this week due to having some HIA symptoms that sits him down for the 12 day recovery period."

Hull KR are high flying in 2024, the Robins are sat in the play offs and are coming up with some big results against top opposition. The Robins drop goal separated the two sides at The Jungle only a few weeks ago.

Castleford Tigers: Luke Hooley, Innes Senior, Jacob Miller, Liam Watts, George Lawler, Elie El Zakhem, Alex Mellor, Joe Westerman, Liam Horne, Rowan Milnes, Nixon Putt, Muizz Mustapha, Sylvester Namo, Jason Qareqare, Cain Robb, George Hill, Luis Johnson, Fletcher Rooney, Daniel Hindmarsh, Tex Hoy, Jenson Windley.

Hull KR: Peta Hiku, Niall Evalds, Oliver Gildart, Ryan Hall, Mikey Lewis, Sauaso Sue, Jez Litten, George King, Dean Hadley, James Batchelor, Elliot Minchella, Matt Parcell, Sam Luckley, Jai Whitbread, Matty Storton, Kelepi Tanginoa, Tyrone May, Joe Burgess, Jack Broadbent, Jack Brown, Danny Richardson.

Niall Evalds

Former Tigers man, Niall Evalds will be hoping to continue his form against his former club. The Rovers fullback gives the Robins pace in attack and stability in defence as he commands from the back field.

Elliot Minchella

Loose Forward, Elliot Minchella will be using his presence on the field to try and get The Robins over the line. Minchella is the captain for the Hull side and will be hoping to boss the middle of the park on game day.

Mikey Lewis

England International, Mikey Lewis is the star man for Hull KR. The half back is known for making something out of nothing and being a real spark on the field. His pace and skill is something Cas will have to look out for.
