Prop Keith Mason and hooker Scott Moore have been dropped by Huddersfield coach Nathan Brown following an alleged breach of club discipline. An internal investigation is underway and although the club has not divulged a reason for their actions, it is thought to relate to an incident at a reception held in the weake of the Giants Challenge Cup final defeat to Warrington. It is a disappointing end to the regular Super League season for the duo - Mason was this week named the coaches' player of the year  

Wigan coach Brian Noble is set to field the team that beat Warrington and Castleford, with centre Karl Pryce and hooker Mike McIlorum set to miss out. Hull have former Wigan second-rower Danny Tickle available after over-turning a two-match ban but utility back Jordan Tansey is suspended. Tommy Lee and Mike Burnett remain suspended by the club pending a disciplinary investigation.  

Castleford are boosted by the return of scrum-half Brent Sherwin for Sunday's visit of the Wigan Warriors. Sherwin has missed his side's last 11 games with a foot injury, but has now returned to full fitness. Also available for selection once again are full-back Richard Owen and winger Kirk Dixon, who missed last Friday's mauling at Leeds.  

Wigan skipper Sean O'Loughlin is set to return to the side for Saturday's Challenge Cup semi-final after a four-week lay-off with a knee injury. Second row forward Phil Bailey is also back in the Warriors squad after a two-game absence. He is now fully recovered from a dead leg.
