Lee Radford provides update on Castleford Tigers pair Danny Richardson and Ryan Hampshire

Castleford Tigers went down 44-12 to Catalans Dragons on Friday night in a terrible showing.

Two members of that 21-man squad, Danny Richardson and Ryan Hampshire, didn’t play and head coach Lee Radford has revealed how far away both of them are.

“We still don’t know about Danny, we’ve got to go and see the specialist again so we’ll have to wait and see,” Radford told Tigers TV after the game.

“Fortunately, we don’t seem to have any further injury problems from tonight’s game but there may be some bruised pride in the dressing room.”

“Ryan had his pot off this week so he’s not far off,” Radford continued.

“The quicker we can get him back the better.”

Castleford will have a week off next weekend with the Challenge Cup semi-finals taking place.

The Tigers themselves were knocked out by Hull KR who will go up against Huddersfield Giants at the home of Leeds United at Elland Road.

Next up for Castleford will be Hull KR again, this time at the Jungle on Sunday May 15 as they aim to get back on the horse in Super League after losing their four-match winning league run in the south of France.
