As the Super League enters Round 14, the stage is set for an action-packed weekend of rugby league action. The team news for the three Friday night fixtures has been confirmed, with some surprise omissions and potential debuts on the cards.

Castleford Tigers vs. Wigan Warriors

Castleford Tigers will host the new Challenge Cup champions, Wigan Warriors, at Wheldon Road. The Tigers will be without their leadership duo of Paul McShane and Joe Westerman, who have not been named in the 21-man squad. However, prop Matty English, on a two-week loan from Huddersfield Giants, could make his debut for Castleford. Wigan, fresh off their cup triumph, have just one change to their squad, with fullback Jai Field missing out due to a hamstring injury.

Hull KR vs. Huddersfield Giants

Elsewhere, a packed Craven Park will witness the clash between Hull KR and Huddersfield Giants. The Robins have made just one change, with young academy graduate centre Louix Gorman replacing Connor Barley. The Giants, who have struggled for form recently, have also named a strong squad, with Leroy Cudjoe missing out due to a minor injury.

Warrington Wolves vs. Salford Red Devils

The final Friday night fixture sees Warrington Wolves, still reeling from their Wembley defeat, take on Salford Red Devils. The Wolves will be without Jordan Crowther and Lachlan Fitzgibbon due to ankle and back injuries, respectively. Salford, on the other hand, have a new signing in Loghan Lewis, a loose-forward joining from the Canberra Raiders in the NRL, who could make his debut.

These fixtures promise to be exciting, with teams looking to bounce back from recent setbacks or build on their recent successes. Rugby league enthusiasts can look forward to a thrilling round of Super League action this Friday night.
