Preview:
Daryl Powell will be looking to get one over his future employees whilst Steve Price knowns that the cup could be his best chance of picking up some silverware in his final season in what is set to be an intriguing battle.
Up until around a month or so ago, most would have been backing Cas for the win as they started the season well whist Warrington were struggling but things have turned around quickly and it is Cas who are struggling badly in the league, including a home thrashing last time out to rivals Leeds.
They will be glad to be playing in the cup for this one as it gives them a chance to re-group and re-focus as will the fact that they have made many changes for this one with Danny Richardson, George Griffin, Greg Eden, and Lewis Peachey all dropping out of the squad with Niall Evalds, Adam Milner, Alex Foster, and Gareth O’Brien returning.
Warrington name a settled squad and that should work in their favour and we certainly make them the favourites for this one but if Cas can show a reaction to last week, we could be set for an epic battle.
Prediction: Warrington Wolves by 8
Kick Off: 17:00
Venue: Leigh Sports Village (Leigh)

Preview:
Saints dominated a poor Hull FC side in the league recently but the black and whites have shown enough this season that we know they will be a huge challenge for Saints.
Both teams have incredible talent and both know that the game has to be won on the day so we are expecting a high quality and attacking game that should be close throughout.
Saints will be glad to have Tommy Makinson and Regan Grace back but they are without Mark Percival.
Hull are close to full strength, aside from missing Joe Cator.
Hull FC have the pedigree in the cup and the quality to take on and defeat anybody but it is difficult to look past anything other than a Saints win as on their day they are simply the best team in the Northern Hemisphere and they have big game players throughout their squad.
Prediction: St Helens by 8
