Williams set for Tigers bow

Castleford will give a debut to loan signing Rhys Williams in place of Josh Griffin against Wakefield in Manchester on Saturday (kick-off 1pm).

Captain Danny Orr returns from a back injury and his half-back partner Rangi Chase is back from suspension.

The Tigers are without hooker Daryl Clark, who sustained a serious knee injury in his side's 70-12 defeat at Hull KR, but prop Paul Jackson is poised to make his first appearance since August after recovering from a hand injury.

Wakefield coach Richard Agar recalls prop Matt James in place of Paul Johnson after his completion of a one-match ban while second rower Danny Kirmond is also included after recovering from an abductor strain that forced him to miss the defeat by Warrington. Centre Vince Mellars, who was not selected last Sunday, is also vying for a call-up.
