Wakefield Trinity vs. Castleford Tigers: Another Worthwhile Match in the England Super League

Wakefield Trinity will play Castleford Tigers at Belle Vue (Wakefield) on Thursday 14th April 2022 at 21:45 (Moscow). Castleford never lost against Wakefield under former manager Daryl Powell, so it would be intriguing to see if that streak can continue under Lee Radford. Both teams are coming off painful Challenge Cup defeats, with the Tigers losing 34-10 to Hull KR and Trinity losing 36-6 to Wigan Warriors.

Wakefield Trinity performed well for long stretches of their Challenge Cup quarter-final against Wigan Warriors last week, and despite being outclassed, they showed enough to suggest that they can bounce back quickly.

Trinity has won their previous three Super League games in a row, so they will head into tonight with plenty of confidence despite last week's setback. Jacob Miller will be sidelined again, but Tom Johnstone, who sat out against the Warriors, might return on the wing.

21-man squad: 1 Max Jowitt, 2 Tom Johnstone, 4 Reece Lyne, 7 Mason Lino, 8 Eddie Battye, 9 Liam Hood, 10 Tinirau Arona, 11 Matty Ashurst, 12 Kelepi Tanginoa, 13 Jay Pitts, 14 Jordan Crowther, 15 Jai Whitbread, 17 Lee Gaskell, 19 Liam Kay, 21 Brad Walker, 22 Yusuf Aydin, 23 Sadiq Adebiyi, 24 Harry Bowes, 27 Lewis Murphy, 30 Corey Hall, 35 David Fifita

Unavailable: Bill Tupou, Lee Kershaw, Tom Lineham, Thomas Minns, Jacob Miller, James Batchelor

Questionable: Tom Johnstone

Castleford Tigers were unable to make it three consecutive wins after back-to-back victories, as Hull KR was knocked out of the Challenge Cup last week.

All attention will now turn to Super League action, with the Tigers having won just two of their seven games this season. In order to react to last week's disheartening effort, they will have to cope with the injuries to Jordan Turner and Bureta Faraimo.
