St Helens and Castleford Tigers have named their 19-man squads for their clash in round one of the 2018 Betfred Super League.

The game will take place at The Totally Wicked Stadium on Friday night, 7:45pm kick-off.

Saints head coach Justin Holbrook has got a fully fit squad to choose from and the only player with a starting number to miss out is winger Adam Swift, who is currently out of favour due to the in-form Regan Grace.

James Roby will captain Saints in what will be his 400th appearance for his hometown club.
