Surprise absentee from Warrington Wolves squad for Castleford trip
THE squad news is in for Warrington Wolves' trip to Castleford Tigers on Sunday. And it shows only one change from the group that travelled to France to face Catalans Dragons last time out, with prop James Harrison dropping out. Head coach Sam Burgess did not declare any injury for the front-rower during his pre-match press conference on Thursday, but he will not feature at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle. In his place, young half-back Ewan Irwin is drafted into the squad and appears to be in contention to feature should scrum-half Marc Sneyd fail to recover in time from the groin injury that forced him off in Perpignan. Warrington Wolves 21-man squad vs Castleford Tigers, Super League Round 19 Jordy Crowther, Ben Currie, Matt Dufty, Lachlan Fitzgibbon, Zack Gardner, Ewan Irwin, Toby King, Tom McKinney, Joe Philbin, Sam Powell, Stefan Ratchford, Marc Sneyd, Sam Stone, Jake Thewlis, Josh Thewlis, Luke Thomas, Paul Vaughan, George Williams, Max Wood, Connor Wrench, Luke Yates Castleford Tigers opt against changes Last time out, Castleford became only the second team this season to lose to beleaguered bottom club Salford Red Devils, who ran out 26-22 victors on Sunday. Despite that, however, interim head coach Chris Chester has opted against wholesale changes as he names the same 21-man squad this week. The Tigers' on-loan Warrington prop Dan Okoro is eligible to play against his parent club.
