Castleford Tigers v Catalans Dragons: First Utility Super League preview
Last Updated: 03/05/15 6:15pm
Ryan Bailey is expected to make his Castleford Tigers debut in Sunday's First Utility Super League clash with Catalans Dragons at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle.
Former Leeds prop Bailey was released by Hull KR earlier this year after playing just one game but he could line out against the inconsistent Dragons.
Denny Solomona is recalled after two months out with a knee injury, while second rower Frankie Mariano also returns.
James Clare and Adam Milner miss out, with Ash Robson set to make his home debut after scoring a try in last weekend’s win at Salford.
Catalans are once more without stand-off Todd Carney, who is facing a fourth spell on the sidelines, but scrum-half Scott Dureau and centre Willie Tonga return after missing the win over Hull KR through injury.
Teenage winger Fouad Yaha keeps his place after making his debut last week while half-back Thomas Bosc, who made a try-scoring debut for the Dragons against Castleford in the club's inaugural Super League season in 2006, makes his 200th appearance.
