Castleford Tigers v Huddersfield Giants: First Utility Super League preview
Last Updated: 20/05/15 5:23pm
Denny Solomona makes a welcome return for Castleford Tigers in Thursday's Super League clash with Huddersfield Giants at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle.
Winger Solomona has been sidelined for three months with a knee injury but is named in Daryl Powell's 19-man squad as the Tigers attempt to return to winning ways following back-to-back losses.
Frankie Mariano is also back and takes the place of Junior Moores, but full-back Luke Dorn misses out after suffering a recurrence of his hamstring injury.
Both Castleford and Huddersfield were eliminated from the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup last weekend, but the Giants have shown better form in Super League and travel to the Jungle seeking to extend their unbeaten run to five games.
Paul Anderson's side were 22-0 winners when they last faced Castleford on March 12 but they are without centre Leroy Cudjoe, who is sidelined with a knee injury.
Winger Jodie Broughton is set to make only his third appearance of the season, while hooker Kruise Leeming and utility back Jake Connor are recalled.
Castleford Tigers: Ryan Bailey, Michael Channing, Liam Finn, Luke Gale, Ash Gibson, Oliver Holmes, Lee Jewitt, Andy Lynch, Will Maher, Frankie Mariano, Nathan Massey, Mike McMeeken, Grant Millington, Adam Milner, Ben Roberts, Michael Shenton, Denny Solomona, Jordan Tansey, Jake Webster.
