Daryl Powell looking to rotate Castleford Tigers squad

Castleford Tigers coach Daryl Powell believes that the key to his side's title hopes is down to squad rotation.

Powell has rested star trio Justin Carney, Jake Webster and Craig Huby for tonight's encounter with Hull FC, despite all three being fully fit.

"Our squad is pretty healthy at the moment," the 49-year-old year is quoted as saying by the Yorkshire Evening Post. "It is an opportunity to give a couple of blokes a bit of a breather.

"We've got some good players who haven't played over the last couple of weeks. It is still a very, very strong squad and it will be a strong team.

"It is about making sure we consistently get what we need out of the team. That's managing players across the season. We have done it all year and we have got good value out of it."

Castleford are currently fourth in the Super League table, three points off leaders St Helens.
