Warrington v Castleford preview
Daryl Clark is set to make his return for Warrington after being named in Tony Smith's 19-man squad. The hooker has missed the last two games due to a calf injury but is fit again to face his former club Castleford.
The Wolves will be without prop Mitchell Dodds who suffered a double leg break during Warrington's win against Catalans at Stade Gilbert Brutus in Perpignan last Saturday. Smith will not bring in a like-for-like player for Mitchell but is more likely to use another player who he can adapt to the role.
Castleford will be without Luke Dorn, Oliver Holmes and Lee Jewitt for their trip to Warrington but welcome back Grant Millington and Frankie Mariano, while former Wolves player Joel Monaghan also makes his return.
"Rugby league is a game for tough men and we are going to have to be tough in the coming weeks," said Castleford coach Daryl Powell.
"It's tough to win games when you have good players sat on their backsides injured and it's a tough battle coming up against Warrington, who are playing with a lot of confidence.
"They'll be the massive favourites and they'll be looking forward to facing us. For us we need to make sure we are on our game and that one to 17 play superb."
