Castleford Tigers vs Toulouse Odds

Team News

Cas boss Ryan Carr makes just one change this week and it is a positive one as the influential Brock Greacen cleared to play after concussion protocols after missing out last week.

Having named just a 20-man squad last week against Catalans that means nobody drops out this week as the squad returns to the full 21.

So no Jack Ashworth still, and Fiji international Mikaele Ravalawa also remains absent.

Toulouse boss Sylvain Houles makes three changes after last week's defeat to Leeds.

Australian Henry O'Kane drops out - he was stretchered off - and it is still too early for star full-back Olly Ashall-Bott who remains out with a broken bone in his hand. Cesar Rouge played full-back last week and is set to continue.

The other men to drop out are Joe Bretherton and Hugo Garrigues.

Reubenn Rennie is back involved as are Maxime Stefani and Lambert Belmas.

Handicap 3-way Castleford Tigers -14 @ 6/5

I wrote last week that you "probably won't find two more infuriating teams to predict" than Castleford and Catalans Dragons, and you could probably say the same again this week.

The Tigers almost pulled it out of the bag in the south of France with three unanswered tries after half-time but left themselves with too much to do and still headed home with the defeat.

This on the other hand is a game they should win, as underlined by the 14-point handicap with Betfred. Much of that will depend on which Toulouse team will turn up.

Olympique were battered by Leeds on home soil before half-time last week, trailing 30-6 before a much-improved response after the break saw it end 48-24.

So there are points here for Cas and if they can keep a handle on the French side's playmaker Thomas Lacans and limit the supply line to the dangerous outside backs then the Tigers should be okay.

Cas have one of the most dangerous and in-form wingers in the league in 10-try Jason Qareqare which gives them a big advantage heading into this one.
