TWO Super League fixtures take place on Saturday with Castleford Tigers hosting Wigan Warriors at The Jungle whilst Catalans Dragons take on Warrington Wolves.
Castleford’s fixture against Wigan will be the first ever Super League game broadcast live on BBC Two with the game also being covered on Sky Sports.
Likewise, Catalans will take on Warrington in front of the Sky Sports cameras. Here is how all four teams’ 21-man squads look:
