SUPER 8S PREVIEW: Castleford v St Helens
Castleford go into this game looking to bounce back from defeat to Huddersfield last week, and keep their faint hopes of the top four alive.
Loose forward Nathan Massey is missing as he needs surgery on his wrists, and will be out for the rest of the season.
Jake Webster, also out for the season, is missing, due to nerve damage. Justin Carney is suspended by the club.
St Helens coach Keiron Cunningham has named an unchanged team from the side which won at Leeds last week.
If Saints manage to win, then they will seal a spot in the top four, jumping ahead of Huddersfield in the process.
