Castleford v Wigan preview

Castleford Tigers will be targeting another scalp on home soil when they go head-to-head with the third-placed Wigan Warriors on Sunday.

While Ian Millward's men are pointless away from the Wish Communications Stadium they followed up their victory against the Leeds Rhinos with a point against the Catalan Dragons last week.

Wigan returned to winning ways last weekend with a comfortable 48-18 success over the lowly London Broncos at the DW Stadium.

The Warriors ran out convincing winners over the Tigers last season, securing a 40-16 home win while also claiming a 46-4 triumph in West Yorkshire.

Castleford are boosted by the return from suspension of stand-off Rangi Chase, with temporary replacement Gareth O'Brien dropping out of Millward's squad.

Prop forward Jacob Emmitt makes his first appearance of the season in place of Jonathan Walker.

Wigan are likely to recall prop Scott Taylor in place of Lee Mossop, who is out for up to 12 weeks with a dislocated shoulder.

Wales international second-rower Rhodri Lloyd is hoping to make his first appearance of the season.

Castleford Tigers: Owen, Carney, Shenton, Webster, Dixon, Chase, Ellis, Clark, Huby, Gilmour, Hauraki, Millington, Emmitt, Milner, Massey, Holmes, Thompson, Tansey, Mason.

Wigan Warriors: Burke, Charnley, Crosby, Dudson, Farrell, Flower, Green, Hughes, McIlorum, O'Loughlin, Powell, Richards, Smith, Lloyd, Taylor, Thornley, L. Tomkins, S. Tomkins, Tuson.
