Tigers prop Jackson out for a month

CASTLEFORD TIGERS will be without prop forward Paul Jackson for a month with a groin injury sustained in the Tigers' 42-22 defeat at Hull on Friday.

The front rower has started all five Engage Super League matches for the club since rejoining from Huddersfield in the close season.

The Tigers will have loose forward Joe Westerman back for Saturday's match against Catalans Dragons in Perpignan after he was a late withdrawal last Friday with a knee infection.
