ENGAGE SUPER LEAGUE
Venue: Probiz Coliseum Date: Sunday, 27 March Kick-off: 1530 BST
Coverage: Updates on BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC local radio & the BBC Sport website, highlights on the Super League Show
Castleford winger Richard Owen is set to come back after 13 months out with a double leg break, having been included in the Tigers’ 19-man squad.
Hooker Ryan Hudson has recovered from a shoulder injury, while Nick Youngquest faces his former team-mates and Willie Isa is set to make his home debut.
Jordan Tansey is lined up to make his debut for bottom club Crusaders.
He will come in for winger Rhys Williams, who has been recalled from his loan spell by Warrington.
Both Adam Peek and Paul Johnson have resumed training after injury lay-offs, but they are not yet ready to return.
And, although Rhys Hanbury, Frank Winterstein and new signing Hep Cahill have all now received visa clearance, they are not expected to arrive in the country until this weekend.
Castleford will be bidding to get back to winning ways against the back markers after suffering their first defeat of the Super League XVI season at Bradford last weekend.
And Owen is in the squad for the first time since having to undergo an operation after breaking both his tibia and fibula against Bradford in February 2010.
Crusaders are still in the red, on -2 points, having lost five games in a row since their impressive opening weekend 42-12 win against Salford – in Iestyn Harris’s first game in charge.
Castleford (from): Mathers, Dixon, Youngquest, Arundel, Owen, Chase, Orr, Jackson, Hudson, Huby, Emmitt, Ferres, Jones, Milner, Isa, Fozzard, Aspinwall, Widders, Clark.
