HULL KR TEAM NEWS: STORTON RETURNS
Matty Storton has served a one-match ban so he comes back into contention for this fixture with Australian Tom Opacic the man to make way from the 21.
21-MAN SQUAD: Hiku, Evalds, Gildart, Hall, Lewis, Sue, Litten, King, Hadley, Batchelor, Minchella, Parcell, Luckley, Whitbread, Storton, Tanginoa, May, Burgess, Broadbent, Brown, Richardson
CASTLEFORD TIGERS TEAM NEWS: MORE INJURY WOE FOR CAS
In a season that has seen them blighted by injuries, the Tigers come into this with some very inexperienced options in their squad. Corey Hall has joined the long injury list with a head knock which means Luis Johnson is likely to play in the unfamiliar position of centre.
21-MAN SQUAD: Hooley, I. Senior, Miller, Watts, Lawler, El-Zakhem, Mellor, Westerman, Horne, Milnes, Putt, Mustapha, Namo, Qareqare, Robb, Hill, Johnson, Rooney, Hindmarsh, Hoy, Windley
HULL KR VS CASTLEFORD TIGERS PREDICTION
Hull KR made it clear to the rest of the league that they are title contenders this season as they dominated Warrington Wolves last week. That win saw them top the league briefly and they can regain that position with another win here. If they can see off Castleford Tigers, it would be five victories in succession and it would be a huge surprise if they were unable to achieve that feat.
HULL KR VS CASTLEFORD TIGERS TIP: HULL KR -17.5
