Hull FC go up against Castleford Tigers this Friday night in what will be one of the most highly anticipated clashes of the Super League calendar in 2022 so far.
It will see Castleford boss Lee Radford go up against his former side at the MKM Stadium for the first time after his departure, with the Tigers in a buoyant mood following their 35-22 win over Warrington Wolves last weekend.
The same, however, cannot be said of Hull who fell to a 60-0 hammering by the Wigan Warriors in dire circumstances.

Cain Robb is included as is youngster Sam Hall as Lee Radford potentially tinkers the side that beat Warrington convincingly last weekend.
