Nathan Brown: Giants will tackle major task

The Tigers are also still without former Giants hooker Ryan Hudson, who is recovering from a broken arm, but they could welcome back Ryan McGoldrick, Richard Owen, Kirk Netherton and Dean Widders.

But Brown knows that whoever plays for the opposition it’ll be tough.

“Castleford are a side that play some good footy,” added Brown.

“They have been beaten in their last couple of games, but that’s only been by a small margin against very good opposition. So we’re bracing ourselves for a tough game, just like the one when we met them earlier in the season.

“I thought we handled a great deal of adversity that night really well. Castleford put us under a lot of pressure and we just did enough to hold them out.

“Everyone contributed to what was a good win, and we know everyone is going to have to contribute just as much this weekend.

“The news that Sherwin won’t play is disappointing for them, because Shifty’s a key player for the team.

“But in his absence I’m sure Rangi Chase will take his place, which means they’ll still be strong in the halves.

“I’ve coached Rangi in the past and I know what he can do. In the past three weeks he’s been one of their form players and there’s no doubt he can pose a threat.

“But, at the end of the day, we’ll be putting most of our focus on what we can do well.

“If we do that, then we’ll give ourselves a great chance.”
