THE TEAM NEWS

21-man squad: O’Brien, Golding, McQueen, Hill, Hill, Marsters, Rushton, Livett, Ashworth, Bibby, Greenwood, Jones, Cudjoe, Yates, English, Peats, Mason, Russell, Wilson, Trout, Fages, Lolohea, Pryce

CASTLEFORD TIGERS
- Castleford Tigers suffered their third successive defeat to begin the season as they were nilled by Wigan Warriors last week and that loss was enough for the Tigers to part ways with head coach Lee Radford.
- Andy Last will take interim charge until the club appoint a permanent successor and the temporary boss will have to make do without fullback Niall Evalds.
21-man squad: Eden, Fonua, Faraimo, Widdop, Miller, Lawler, McShane, Griffin, Edwards, Mellor, Westerman, Massey, Sutcliffe, Milner, Broadbent, Vete, Mustapha, Smith, Matagi, Qareqare, Watts

THE PREDICTION
Huddersfield Giants will look to earn their first home win of the season as they host Castleford Tigers. The home side got off the mark for the campaign with a narrow win over Wakefield Trinity last week and will be confident of further success as they take on the coachless and winless Tigers. Lee Radford departed earlier in the week and having lost all three of their games in underwhelming fashion so far this season, the Giants are favoured to inflict further misery here.
