LEIGH LEOPARDS host the Castleford Tigers this Friday night at the Leigh Sports Village.
There have been differing fortunes for both sides so far in 2023, with Leigh sitting pretty with five wins from ten games in their first season back in Super League.
Castleford, meanwhile, have won just two games, meaning they sit second bottom in the Super League table.
Team news and injuries
Leigh will have Ben Nakubuwai back in contention following injury whilst Aaron Smith and former Love Island contestant Keanan Brand could also return.
The Tigers could welcome back Gareth Widdop and Niall Evalds from illness, with young winger Elliot Wallis primed to make his debut. Cain Robb is also included after spending over a month out with a broken hand. There is, however, no Greg Eden.
