21-man squad: Evalds, Eden, Turner, Fonua, Faraimo, Miller, Lawler, McShane, Griffin, Edwards, Mellor, Westerman, Massey, Broadbent, Vete, Mustapha, Smith, Matagi, Hookem, Qareqare, Johnson
Unavailable: Danny Richardson (Injured), Liam Watts (Injured), Adam Milner (Suspended), Gareth Widdop (Illness)

WAKEFIELD TRINITY
- Wakefield Trinity’s woeful campaign went from bad to worse as they were nilled for the fourth time in seven matches, the latest coming in a one-sided loss to St. Helens.
- The pressure continues to build on Mark Applegarth who is yet to oversee a win during his tenure but the club have reacted this week to bring in reinforcements with Sam Hewitt, Innes Senior and Nathan Mason all arriving on loan from Huddersfield Giants.
21-man squad: Taufua, Lyne, Lino, Battye, Hood, Whitbread, Ashurst, Pitts, Crowther, Kay, Atoni, Kershaw, Proctor, Smith, Langi, Bowes, Eseh, Hewitt, Dagger, Senior, Mason

THE PREDICTION
This West Yorkshire derby looks like a relegation four-pointer even at this early stage of the season as Castleford Tigers host Wakefield Trinity. The teams have combined for just one win between through seven rounds of the new season which has left them struggling at the foot of the table. Castleford boast that win and nearly came close to a second last week as they pushed Catalans Dragons all the way. On the other hand, Wakefield have yet to win and have failed to score in four of their games so the hosts have to be given the edge to prevail in this encounter to make it 13 wins in 14 clashes against their rivals.
