CASTLEFORD TIGERS go up against high-flying Warrington Wolves this Friday night at The Jungle.
The Tigers stemmed their four-game losing run at home to Leeds Rhinos last Thursday in a tense 14-8 affair, whilst Warrington continued their unbeaten start to 2023 with a win over Leigh Leopards.
It will be the second time that Daryl Powell will have visited The Jungle since leaving Castleford back at the end of 2021.
Team news and injuries
Mahe Fonua will miss this clash for the Tigers after failing his HIA last week, but Alex Sutcliffe could return from concussion protocols. There is also the first call-up of the season for youngster Jacob Hookem, whilst George Lawler is out with a sternum injury.
Warrington will also be without Josh Thewlis after he failed his HIA in the win over Leigh.
