Holliday Cup final tonight set for a bonus

-

Gaskell sliced open an elbow when crashing into the advertisin­g hoardings in the 48-10 defeat at Wigan and, while the wound was immediatel­y stitched, it became infected.

The infection then became so bad that the former St Helens and Bradford Bulls player had to spend a night in hospital for intensive treatment and a re-stitching of the gash.

Kruise Leeming is not expected to be fit to return against Castleford. He is ‘going through a protocol’ having suffered a succession of concussion­s.

But “bathroom assassin” Oliver Roberts could be back in action against Daryl Powell’s side.

Ireland World Cup star Roberts had to have stitches in a foot after a DIY accident at home when working in his bathroom.

The 23-year-old is not running at the moment but will be assessed by Thorman tomorrow in the hope of being ready for the match 24 hours later. of whom are attracting attention from profession­al clubs.

David Holmes has a vast amount of experience and has played in no fewer than five Holliday Cup finals, previously being man of the match for Underbank in 1996!

Rachel Blakley, representi­ng Vivimed, will present the Cup.
