Francis Cummins has named an 18-man squad for tomorrow afternoon’s clash with Castleford Tigers Under 18s at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle (1.00pm kick-off).

The Academy are looking to make it back-to-back wins and stay in the top half of the Academy Championship table after their victory over Bradford Bulls Under 18s just over a fortnight ago.

There are two changes from the side that travelled to Odsal, with Owen Haldenby and Elliot Middlemas dropping out.

Ellis Opie comes back into the side, whilst Jack Charles could make his first Academy appearance of the season after a lengthy spell in the Black & Whites’ first-team squad.

The 18-man squad to face Castleford’s Under 18s is as follows:

Jordon Baker

Callum Barfield

Kieran Calvert

Jack Charles

Lennon Clark

Will Hutchinson
