Castleford Tigers' Ben Davies returns to St Helens after one game

Castleford Tigers head coach Danny McGuire has confirmed the return of vice-captain Alex Mellor for their upcoming match against St Helens, following an injury that sidelined him during their opening loss to Hull KR. McGuire praised Mellor's professionalism, stating that his return will provide a significant boost to the team. In a related move, centre Ben Davies has been recalled by St Helens after just one game on loan at Castleford, as he felt uncomfortable playing against his parent club. Meanwhile, St Helens coach Paul Wellens discussed his team's new signings aimed at improving on a disappointing previous season, while also addressing the injury of player Lewis Murphy, who will be out for 8-10 weeks. Both teams are preparing for a challenging clash, with Castleford looking to capitalize on their home advantage. The match promises to be a test for both sides, as they confront different dynamics with their rosters this season.
